In terms of looks, the matte black version of the 2022 Classic 350 features a blacked-out engine and exhaust system, which looks more or less the same as the current-gen version of the motorcycle. To add contrast to the all-black colour scheme, Royal Enfield has offered the motorcycle with red-coloured rim tape, red stripes on the fuel tank, and red/white graphics on the side panels. Overall, the matte black version of the upcoming motorcycle looks quite stylish and is expected to become one of the best-selling shades once launched in India.

In terms of pricing, the motorcycle is expected to launch with an ex-showroom price tag of around INR 1.90 lakhs for the base model. As we reported earlier, the MY2022 will be available in a total of 6 shades.

Mechanically, the 2022 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. 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.
