Royal Enfield has launched the Classic 350 with two new color options – Metallo Silver and Orange Ember – each priced at Rs 1.83 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

Although its only a paint scheme, the bring color schemes add a lot of drama to the look of the retro roadster. In fact, a youthful color palette like that has come together very well on what is a very old school motorcycle. The new alloy wheels also greatly enhance the look of the motorcycle. The standard Classic 350 comes with wire-spoke wheels. Royal Enfield has now also listed the Classic 350 on their Make It Yours (MiY) personalisation mobile app. This will now allow customers to personalize their motorcycle exactly to their taste with genuine RE accessories, colour options and more.
Introducing the new motorcycle variants, Vinod K Dasari – CEO, Royal Enfield said, “In a continuous effort to evolve the Classic, we have introduced new variants of the motorcycle and added the option to view and configure, enabling our riders to express themselves in distinct and unique ways. The young and vibrant colour schemes and trims of the Classic 350, coupled with several personalisation and accessorisation combinations via MIY will definitely offer a more involved purchase and ownership experience for riding enthusiasts. We are also very happy that MiY has been very well received by our audiences. More than 80 per cent of our newly launched Meteor owners have opted for MiY solutions which is a testament to its success. We are confident that Classic 350 customers will follow suit.”
