Classic Design and Build
The Classic 350 (2025) stays true to its vintage appeal, drawing inspiration from the 1950s Royal Enfield G2. It features a teardrop fuel tank, chrome accents, round headlamp, and curvy fenders. With nine colour choices—including Madras Red, Jodhpur Blue, Medallion Bronze, Emerald, Redditch Red, and Halcyon Black—buyers get plenty of stylish options. The bike also introduces LED headlights, LED tail lamps, and DRLs, making it safer and more modern. Variants with alloy wheels and blacked-out engines give it a stealthy edge. At 195 kg kerb weight, it feels heavy in traffic but adds stability on highways.
Comfortable and Refined Ride
Power comes from a 349cc J-platform engine, producing 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm torque. This single-cylinder motor is smooth, with a balancer shaft to reduce vibrations. It’s best enjoyed at 20–40 kmph in the city and 80–90 kmph on highways, though above 100 kmph, some vibrations return. With a claimed mileage of 41.55 kmpl (35 kmpl real-world average), it’s efficient for its segment. Suspension duties are handled by telescopic forks upfront and twin-tube adjustable shocks at the rear, offering a plush ride even on bumpy Indian roads. Braking is handled by 300 mm front and 270 mm rear discs, with dual-channel ABS (base variant gets single-channel ABS). Riders can choose spoke wheels (tube tyres) or alloy wheels (tubeless tyres).

Modern Features with Retro Charm
Despite its old-school appeal, the Classic 350 gets useful modern touches:
- Analogue-digital cluster with LCD display
- LED headlights, DRLs, and tail lamp
- Tripper Navigation (select variants, Google Maps-powered)
- USB charging port
- Service reminder indicator
The retro-style console fits the Classic’s image, but some riders may find it dated compared to fully digital rivals like the Jawa 42 FJ.

User Feedback and Drawbacks
Owners love the Classic 350 for its timeless design, smooth torque-rich engine, and comfort on long rides. New LED lights and shades like Emerald and Medallion Bronze have also been well received. It’s a proven bike for long-distance rides, including Ladakh trips. However, drawbacks include:
- Heavy weight (195 kg), tough for new riders in traffic
- Vibrations above 100 kmph
- Base models lack premium features like Tripper Navigation
- Footpeg positioning may cause shin discomfort
- Pricier than the Bullet 350, though it offers more features
Comparison with Competitors
- Honda CB350 (₹2.14 lakh) – Lighter and smoother, but less iconic design
- Jawa 42 FJ (₹2.10–₹2.30 lakh) – Sportier with liquid cooling, but limited service network
- Bullet 350 (₹1.76–₹2.20 lakh) – Cheaper, shares the same engine but fewer features
The Classic 350 stands out with its retro styling, strong service network, and heritage feel, though performance-focused riders may prefer the Jawa or Honda.

Final Thoughts
The Royal Enfield Classic 350 (2025) is more than just a bike—it’s a cultural symbol that mixes retro charm with modern updates. Its 349cc engine, 41.55 kmpl mileage, and comfortable ride make it suitable for both city and highway use. Yes, it’s heavy and not built for high-speed thrills, but for those who want a stylish, reliable, and heritage-rich motorcycle, it’s still the most sensible choice in the mid-capacity retro segment. If you want a motorcycle that looks timeless, feels premium, and carries Royal Enfield’s legacy, the Classic 350 (2025) should be at the top of your list.
