New-Gen Royal Enfield Classic 350 Alloy Wheel Version Spotted: The next-gen model of Royal Enfield Classic 350 has been in the news for a quite long time now. The motorcycle was supposed to launch in the Indian markets last year but it got delayed multiple times because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic situation and also due to some production constraints. Well, the good news is that the new model of Classic 350 is in the final stages of testing and the alloy wheel version of the motorcycle has been recently spotted ahead of the launch in the coming weeks. Here are the latest spy photos:

Mechanically, the new-gen Royal Enfield Classic 350 will come powered by the Meteor 350’s air-cooled 349cc engine, which is good for a maximum power of 20.2 HP along with a peak torque of 27 Nm. The engine will remain mated to a 5-speed transmission.
In terms of looks, the fuel tank is almost similar in design to the current-gen model, with flat Royal Enfield stickers. The biggest change here is visible on the engine, with an all-new design and compact placement of the components, which have been further borrowed from the Meteor 350.
The next-gen model of the Royal Enfield Classic 350 features a different rear seat design, a practical grab rail, and a new tail-light setup. The model is equipped with a new frame instead of the current-gen model’s single downtube unit. This change could drastically reduce vibrations.
As far as the pricing is concerned, the motorcycle is expected to launch with an ex-showroom price tag of around INR 1.80 lakhs for the base model. The MY2021 is rumoured to be available in a total of 6 shades. Once launched, the new-gen Classic 350 would be competing with the likes of Jawa Classic 300, Mahindra Mojo 300, Honda Highness CB350, Benelli Imperiale 400, and the Bajaj Dominar 400.
