One of the major updates to the new Classic 350 will be the all-LED lighting, including an LED headlight, LED taillight, and pilot lamps. The LED turn indicators and adjustable levers will come as standard on the Classic and Dark trims. All five variants will get a gear position indicator and a USB-C charger. The Dark variant will be exclusively offered with alloy wheels and tubeless tires. The bike maker might also introduce an updated instrument cluster and new switchgear.
Powering the new 2024 Royal Enfield Classic 350 will be the same air-cooled, 349cc, single-cylinder motor that delivers a peak power of 20 bhp and 27 Nm of torque. Transmission duties will be performed by a 5-speed gearbox.
In other updates, we recently saw the first spy images of the upcoming Royal Enfield Himalayan 650 motorcycle. The prototype features a raised windscreen, a large and muscular fuel tank, wide handlebars, and a differently positioned instrument cluster. Compared to the Himalayan 450, its 650cc counterpart will have a slightly higher placed exhaust pipe.
The new Royal Enfield Himalayan 650 will borrow its engine from the RE Super Meteor 650. This means the bike will source power from a 648cc air/oil-cooled twin-cylinder engine, returning a claimed power of 47.45 PS and 52 Nm of torque. The RE Himalayan 650 will share its suspension system with its 450cc sibling, which comes equipped with a long-travel inverted fork at the front and a monoshock unit at the rear. Additionally, it will be the first Royal Enfield to come with dual-petal disc brakes.
