Royal Enfield has launched a more affordable Classic series model, the Classic 350 S. The new, budget-friendly version of the Classic 350 comes with a drum brake at the back and a single-channel ABS. It retails at INR 1.45 lakh*, which is approximately INR 9,000 lower than the twin-disc/dual-channel ABS version that costs INR 1.54 lakh*.

Apart from the lower-spec braking setup, the new Royal Enfield Classic 350 S comes with cosmetic changes over the standard model that include a single-tone paint for the tank, different Royal Enfield logo and without the rubber pad. A similar silver shade is also available on the new Bullet 350. Components such as the engine, blinker mounts and the wheel-walls are painted black – a styling feature that we saw on the new Bullet 350 duo (350 and 350 ES). Chrome bits on the Classic 350 S include headlight mask, wire-spokes and the side stand.



Rest of the specifications are identical to the standard Classic 350. The bike uses telescopic forks at the front, gas-charged, 5-step preload-adjustable twin springs at the back and a BS-IV compliant 346 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled, twin-spark motor linked to a five-speed gearbox. The carburetted engine churns out 19.8 bhp of peak power at 5,250 rpm and 28 Nm of maximum torque at 4,000 rpm.
