Royal Enfield has rolled out significant price hikes across its motorcycles after the GST revision to 40%. Variants of the Scram, Guerrilla, Himalayan, Interceptor, Continental GT, Classic 650, Shotgun, Bear 650, and Super Meteor have become costlier by ₹15,131 to nearly ₹29,848, depending on the model and colour option.
Royal Enfield Classic 350 Price Hike
Royal Enfield has quietly revised the prices of the Classic 350 range, with all variants witnessing a modest increase. The hike starts at ₹1,540 for the Redditch Red and goes up to ₹1,835 for the top-end Emerald variant. Despite the revision, the Classic 350 continues to attract buyers thanks to its timeless design, comfortable riding posture and refined 349cc single-cylinder engine that delivers smooth performance and a relaxed cruising experience.
The incremental price bump is unlikely to dampen demand, especially as the Classic 350 remains one of the most trusted and emotionally driven motorcycles in the mid-size segment.
