Mumbai, August 13: Eicher Motors owned Royal Enfield on Monday officially unveiled the updated Classic 350 in the country. The two-wheeler manufacturer will launch its best-selling product in a refreshed avatar on September 1, 2024. Interestingly, deliveries of the bike will commence on the same day itself. Initially launched in 2009, the Royal Enfield Classic 350 was due for an update, which came 3 years ago in 2021 with new chassis and engine.

Though the bike retains the current model’s design, it has undergone a few subtle cosmetic updates with six new paint schemes offering a fresh look. It includes Emerald, Jodhpur Blue, Madras Red, Medallion Brown, Commando Sand, and Stealth Black. It also gets a new branding logo placed on the fuel tank, which is one of the two logos that RE had trademarked a few weeks ago. The updated version also gets LED lighting wherein all variants now have LED headlights, pilot lamps and taillights. 2024 Indian Roadmaster Elite Limited Edition Launched in India; Check Price, Features & Specifications.
