Worst battery quality
2 years ago
Ashok N
After maintaining regular service and daily using also battery stopped working. Worst experience ever battery will not work for even 1 year. I have given for replace but after 1 week also no response atleast they'll not provide temporary battery. We can't even start by towing also i don't know how royal enfield will release without kick start if they don't have quality batteries.

Buying experience was very good got more customize options while purchasing.Very comfortable vehicle with no vibration and can easily cruse upto 250km.The look is very premium and gives the feel of cruiser motorcycle and has more options with tripper navigation.Service is good got my first free service for 1250rs.Pros are you get a tripper navigation and the engine is more refined. Also has a comfortable seat for rider and has good consoles with fuel indicator.Cons are the waiting period of the motorcycle is more and the price hike is not good .The seat of the pillion is not comfortable and the fuel indicator is not so accurate. The headlight is still halogen which has less power.

The most fun and comfortable highway riding experience
2 years ago
Junaid
Ever since I did the leh circuit in ladakh on a royal enfield Himalayan in October 2021, I have been (re)bitten by the motorcycling bug.I owned a royal enfield bullet (electra 5s) between 2007 and 2019. I did not do any tours/ long rides on it and i used it mainly for office and local commute. Since my office commute during the initial years of the bike was long and i was able to dodge the traffic by leaving home early, i had a wonderful experience riding the bullet.After a few years, i shifted to driving a car and then started to ride in a tempo traveler for office commute. The utility of the bullet came down drastically due to this. My brother used to ride it more than me and even went on a tour to ladakh with it.Towards the end, the bullet was demanding a lot of attention for maintenance and repairs and i did not have that kind of time to spend on it. And i had lost the patience to drive it in the start-stop bangalore traffic. I eventually sold the bullet and bought a honda dio as i believed a dio would be enough for the local commute and grocery visits.The Ladakh trip changed everything. I rode the royal enfield Himalayan in Ladakh and it made me fall in love with bikes again. I realized no scooter would give the kind of elation and joy i felt when driving a bike and a good powerful bike multiplied this exhilaration multifold.I then wanted to ride a bike again. I looked for and found out about different bike rental companies in bangalore and have rented multiple bikes since my trip to Ladakh. I’ve rented these bikes mostly from royal brothers in bangalore and i’ve rented from twist throttle as well. I used to rent these bikes for a day and ride them for about 200 kms in the outskirts of bangalore in the vicinity of bangalore airport.i rented the royal enfield meteor 350 (supernova) twice — once from royal brothers, bangalore airport (December 26th, 2021) and previously from royal brothers, Indira nagar (November 4th, 2021).I got a fairly new bike on rent (a bike which had done 2600 kms) from royal brothers airport and a bike which had done about 21k kms from royal brothers, Indiranagar.Though the first bike i rented had done about 21k kms and had a fair amount of wear and tear, i enjoyed riding both of them.What i likedAmong all the bikes I have rented (including the royal enfield himalayan which we rented in ladakh), i have had the most fun and the best highway riding experience on the royal enfield meteor 350.None of the other bikes had this cruising riding stance and this stance was very comfortable — especially while driving long distances. The seat cushioning supports the tailbone which makes the ride even more comfortable.The meteor 350 comes with a back rest for the pillion — my family found this as a great support while riding behind me and it made the ride very comfortable for them.The exhaust sound and the thump of the meteor 350 were awesome. There is a constant seat-of-the-pants feedback from the thump as you ride the bike over these long distances on the highway which keeps you connected to the machine in a way none of the other bikes do.The throttle response was immediate and linear.The meteor 350 looks awesome — the colour palette of the meteor range of bikes stand out. No other series of bikes have the colour palette which the meteor 350 range has (other than the re classic 350).What i dislikedThe cruiser riding position takes a while to get used to. City riding in start — stop traffic, especially getting back to the cruiser position after a traffic stop wasn’t a good experience.A powerful led headlight and a 6th gear for cruising were missing.At the time of writing this (01/feb/2022) there is a 6 month waiting period if you want to buy the meteor 350.The mirrors constantly needed correction. They did not remain in place after i had set them. It is definitely a distraction while riding.The kerb weight of the meteor is about 191 kilos — which is on the heavier side.Ps: this review is a part of my post 'my motorcycle diaries' on medium where i have discussed what i liked and disliked about several bike's I've rented - https://medium.Com/@asadjunaid_72882/my-motorcycle-diaries-d8e100303133

Royal Enfield Meteor 350 review
2 years ago
Akhilesh Srivastava
Buying a re is my dream. My father and grand father both are big fan of re. They have legendary bullet350 and crusader180 from 1965- 1975.I shifted from 110cc to 350cc's because of more reliable, build and trustworthy re. So third bike from re is meteor.Riding with meteor when compared with bullet is okay for me. Although i rode 110cc bike for 11 years, meteor make smiles for irregular traffic load with big pot holes bumpy road. I am impressed with city ride quality.Mileage in city is 31 km/l and on highways of 35 kms run is 35 km/l with pillion.The bike look wise is sober and appealing and classifying it's class of re genes.Service station is good to hear consumer queries and spares are available near local stores and in city service station.Pros: re brand of build quality, name and wide service network.Cons: continual improvement is now the tagline for re.

Royal Enfield customer experience is the best. Their priorities are customers.When it comes to riding experience, its has the most comfortable riding position.Stiffer riding.Bike struggles after 120 km/h.Great road presence.Maintenance we'll have accept the expense.Overall it is a VFM bike.

Great bike definitely recommend to anyone who wants a cruiser
2 years ago
Tanmay Tikekar
This is a very good bike, especially for long distance touring. I have been on two rides of 300+ km on it so far, and it has really shone through it. The only problem i have is that with the old classic, which i also owned, the sweet spot for touring was at 80 kph. You could sit on 80 kph all day with no major vibrations, the engine didnt feel stressed. In the meteor, the sweet spot is around 70 kph. If you pull it to 80+ the engine starts to feel like it doesnt want to go that fast. So this bike is definitely not for speed freaks (but then what royal enfield bike is?), but for those who want a classy, super comfortable, relaxed touring experience, i would definitely recommend this bike. Mileage around 30-33. Build quality is excellent.Looks are subjective, i think the classic looks better, but meteor doesnt look bad either. One major con is that the pillion footrest is a major pain. I am 5 ft 10 inch, and for me the pillion footrest is an absolute no-no. I dont know how it would feel for a shorter person, but it gave me cramps. The rider's seat and footrests are super comfortable, but the pillion footrests are a real pain. Overall, would definitely recommend, especially if you are not a speed freak and want a comfortable ride.

Buy it if you want a comfortable and powerful bike with great torque.I'd suggest you buy either the stellar or supernova because the fireball do not have a backrest from buying. You'll have to install it later at your own cost.This bike comes with an approx. Of 2 months waiting so be cautious while deciding to buy it though if you are in an urgent need to buy a bike.The riding experience is awesome. It is so comfortable to ride. No matter what you're height is, you're gonna absolutely love its handle height and seat placement.The looks from the front are killer. Though the side view while its on full stand is a quite average id say.

City riding in start — stop traffic, especially getting back to the cruiser position after a traffic stop wasn’t a good experience.A powerful led headlight and a 6th gear for cruising were missing.At the time of writing this (01/feb/2022) there is a 6 month waiting period if you want to buy the meteor 350.The mirrors constantly needed correction. They did not remain in place after i had set them. It is definitely a distraction while riding.The kerb weight of the meteor is about 191 kilos — which is on the heavier side.Ps: this review is a part of my post 'my motorcycle diaries' on medium where i have discussed what i liked and disliked about several bike's I've rented - https://medium.Com/@asadjunaid_72882/my-motorcycle-diaries-d8e100303133

Royal Enfield Meteor 350 review
2 years ago
Akhilesh Srivastava
Buying a re is my dream. My father and grand father both are big fan of re. They have legendary bullet350 and crusader180 from 1965- 1975.I shifted from 110cc to 350cc's because of more reliable, build and trustworthy re. So third bike from re is meteor.Riding with meteor when compared with bullet is okay for me. Although i rode 110cc bike for 11 years, meteor make smiles for irregular traffic load with big pot holes bumpy road. I am impressed with city ride quality.Mileage in city is 31 km/l and on highways of 35 kms run is 35 km/l with pillion.The bike look wise is sober and appealing and classifying it's class of re genes.Service station is good to hear consumer queries and spares are available near local stores and in city service station.Pros: re brand of build quality, name and wide service network.Cons: continual improvement is now the tagline for re.

Buying experience was worst as the wait time post booking took seven and half months post sales when approached for servicing the customer handling by the service centre were zero. I had done my initial 02 free service and both servicing experience were worst as customer handling were zero.

Royal Enfield customer experience is the best. Their priorities are customers.When it comes to riding experience, its has the most comfortable riding position.Stiffer riding.Bike struggles after 120 km/h.Great road presence.Maintenance we'll have accept the expense.Overall it is a VFM bike.

Great bike definitely recommend to anyone who wants a cruiser
2 years ago
Tanmay Tikekar
This is a very good bike, especially for long distance touring. I have been on two rides of 300+ km on it so far, and it has really shone through it. The only problem i have is that with the old classic, which i also owned, the sweet spot for touring was at 80 kph. You could sit on 80 kph all day with no major vibrations, the engine didnt feel stressed. In the meteor, the sweet spot is around 70 kph. If you pull it to 80+ the engine starts to feel like it doesnt want to go that fast. So this bike is definitely not for speed freaks (but then what royal enfield bike is?), but for those who want a classy, super comfortable, relaxed touring experience, i would definitely recommend this bike. Mileage around 30-33. Build quality is excellent.Looks are subjective, i think the classic looks better, but meteor doesnt look bad either. One major con is that the pillion footrest is a major pain. I am 5 ft 10 inch, and for me the pillion footrest is an absolute no-no. I dont know how it would feel for a shorter person, but it gave me cramps. The rider's seat and footrests are super comfortable, but the pillion footrests are a real pain. Overall, would definitely recommend, especially if you are not a speed freak and want a comfortable ride.

Buy it if you want a comfortable and powerful bike with great torque.I'd suggest you buy either the stellar or supernova because the fireball do not have a backrest from buying. You'll have to install it later at your own cost.This bike comes with an approx. Of 2 months waiting so be cautious while deciding to buy it though if you are in an urgent need to buy a bike.The riding experience is awesome. It is so comfortable to ride. No matter what you're height is, you're gonna absolutely love its handle height and seat placement.The looks from the front are killer. Though the side view while its on full stand is a quite average id say.

Worst battery quality
2 years ago
Ashok N
After maintaining regular service and daily using also battery stopped working. Worst experience ever battery will not work for even 1 year. I have given for replace but after 1 week also no response atleast they'll not provide temporary battery. We can't even start by towing also i don't know how royal enfield will release without kick start if they don't have quality batteries.

Buying experience was very good got more customize options while purchasing.Very comfortable vehicle with no vibration and can easily cruse upto 250km.The look is very premium and gives the feel of cruiser motorcycle and has more options with tripper navigation.Service is good got my first free service for 1250rs.Pros are you get a tripper navigation and the engine is more refined. Also has a comfortable seat for rider and has good consoles with fuel indicator.Cons are the waiting period of the motorcycle is more and the price hike is not good .The seat of the pillion is not comfortable and the fuel indicator is not so accurate. The headlight is still halogen which has less power.

Don't go with after market silencer which reduces the efficiency of the motorcycle. Use the genuine preferred engine oil.

The most fun and comfortable highway riding experience
2 years ago
Junaid
Ever since I did the leh circuit in ladakh on a royal enfield Himalayan in October 2021, I have been (re)bitten by the motorcycling bug.I owned a royal enfield bullet (electra 5s) between 2007 and 2019. I did not do any tours/ long rides on it and i used it mainly for office and local commute. Since my office commute during the initial years of the bike was long and i was able to dodge the traffic by leaving home early, i had a wonderful experience riding the bullet.After a few years, i shifted to driving a car and then started to ride in a tempo traveler for office commute. The utility of the bullet came down drastically due to this. My brother used to ride it more than me and even went on a tour to ladakh with it.Towards the end, the bullet was demanding a lot of attention for maintenance and repairs and i did not have that kind of time to spend on it. And i had lost the patience to drive it in the start-stop bangalore traffic. I eventually sold the bullet and bought a honda dio as i believed a dio would be enough for the local commute and grocery visits.The Ladakh trip changed everything. I rode the royal enfield Himalayan in Ladakh and it made me fall in love with bikes again. I realized no scooter would give the kind of elation and joy i felt when driving a bike and a good powerful bike multiplied this exhilaration multifold.I then wanted to ride a bike again. I looked for and found out about different bike rental companies in bangalore and have rented multiple bikes since my trip to Ladakh. I’ve rented these bikes mostly from royal brothers in bangalore and i’ve rented from twist throttle as well. I used to rent these bikes for a day and ride them for about 200 kms in the outskirts of bangalore in the vicinity of bangalore airport.i rented the royal enfield meteor 350 (supernova) twice — once from royal brothers, bangalore airport (December 26th, 2021) and previously from royal brothers, Indira nagar (November 4th, 2021).I got a fairly new bike on rent (a bike which had done 2600 kms) from royal brothers airport and a bike which had done about 21k kms from royal brothers, Indiranagar.Though the first bike i rented had done about 21k kms and had a fair amount of wear and tear, i enjoyed riding both of them.What i likedAmong all the bikes I have rented (including the royal enfield himalayan which we rented in ladakh), i have had the most fun and the best highway riding experience on the royal enfield meteor 350.None of the other bikes had this cruising riding stance and this stance was very comfortable — especially while driving long distances. The seat cushioning supports the tailbone which makes the ride even more comfortable.The meteor 350 comes with a back rest for the pillion — my family found this as a great support while riding behind me and it made the ride very comfortable for them.The exhaust sound and the thump of the meteor 350 were awesome. There is a constant seat-of-the-pants feedback from the thump as you ride the bike over these long distances on the highway which keeps you connected to the machine in a way none of the other bikes do.The throttle response was immediate and linear.The meteor 350 looks awesome — the colour palette of the meteor range of bikes stand out.
