The most significant mechanical revision is the addition of an assist and slipper clutch, which lessens clutch effort and ensures smoother gear changes, especially in urban traffic.
In the meantime, the new USB Type-C fast charging port serves as a handy feature, enabling riders to charge smartphones and other compatible devices while traveling.
Besides these upgrades, the Classic 350 is pretty much the same. It still gets powered by the distinctive 349cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that churns out 20.2bhp and 27Nm of torque.
The motorcycle maintains its upright riding posture alongside a distinctive 19-18-inch spoke wheel setup. Some other mechanical upgrades include a telescoping front fork, dual rear shock absorbers, and disc brakes with dual-channel ABS.
The starting price for the 2026 Royal Enfield Classic 350 is Rs. 1,87,434 (ex-showroom). The motorcycle comes in nine different colors.
At this price point, the Classic 350 will compete against motorcycles like the Honda CB350, Jawa 350, and Jawa 42.
