The 2025 Royal Enfield Classic 350 brings together old-school charm and new-age comfort. It still runs on the trusted 349cc J-series engine, so that iconic thump is just the same. But this year, it comes with some rider-friendly updates and better tech—plus, it’s cheaper than last year’s model.
Royal Enfield’s MD & CEO, B Govindarajan, emphasizes, “We’ve focused on subtle enhancements, not reinventing the wheel. Riders crave reliability as much as nostalgia.”
Visibility & Connectivity Upgrades
- LED Headlight & Position Lamps: Brighter beam with lower battery draw.
- USB-C Charging Port: Concealed in the switchgear for on-the-go device top-ups.
- Gear Position Indicator: No more guesswork when shifting in traffic.
Riders report improved feel and comfort thanks to refreshed grips and switchgear. Adjustable brake and clutch levers now come standard on Dark and Chrome editions—allowing a personalized reach. Test-riders noted the 2025 model feels “noticeably lighter” at low speeds, attributing it to re-tuned suspension settings.
Tripper turn-by-turn nav pods appear on top-tier variants, syncing with your smartphone for live directions. Alloy wheels, LED indicators, and white-lens blinkers distinguish the Dark and Chrome editions from the spoked-wheel Heritage base model.
A Fresh Palette of Seven Colours
Royal Enfield’s designers have reimagined the Classic’s palette:
- Emerald
- Jodhpur Blue
- Commando Sand
- Madras Red
- Medallion Bronze
- Sand Grey
- Stealth Black
Spoke-wheel lovers can still opt for Medallion Bronze or Sand Grey, while alloy wheels team with Emerald and Jodhpur Blue for a modern twist.
Enthusiasts praise everyday enhancements: the LED headlight “cuts through dusk like a laser,” and the USB-C port is hailed as a “game-changer” for long rides. Some riders share the absence of heavier mechanical updates, but sales figures tell a triumphant story: Classic 350 recorded 28,628 units sold in May 2025—a 6.4% increase over April.
