Royal Enfield has rolled out the 2026 edition of its best-selling Classic 350, introducing two long-awaited upgrades while keeping the motorcycle’s timeless silhouette untouched. The updated model is now available at all authorised dealerships across India, with test ride bookings open through the company’s official website and dealer network.
What’s New in Royal Enfield Classic 350
The biggest change is the addition of an assist and slipper clutch as standard across the entire variant lineup. This makes gear shifts smoother and lightens clutch effort during both city commutes and long highway stretches. Alongside this, every dual-channel variant now gets a USB Type-C fast charging port, letting riders keep smartphones and other devices powered up on the move.

Price and Variants of 2026 Launch
The 2026 Royal Enfield Classic 350 starts at ₹1.87 lakh ex-showroom and goes up to around ₹2.23 lakh, depending on the variant, in the Delhi market. It continues to be offered in nine colour options, including Redditch Red, Halcyon Black, Madras Red, Jodhpur Blue, Medallion Bronze, Commando Sand, Gun Grey, Stealth Black and Emerald Green.
Engine and Everyday Ride Quality
Under the fuel tank, the Classic 350 retains its 349cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder J-series engine, producing around 20.5 PS and 27 Nm of torque through a five-speed gearbox. It comes with the brand’s Tripper navigation pod, LED pilot lamps, adjustable brake and clutch levers, and a gear position indicator, features that carry over from the outgoing model.
Why It Still Matters in 2026
The Classic 350 remains Royal Enfield’s highest-selling motorcycle, averaging more than 30,000 units a month, and sits between the Bullet 350 and Goan Classic 350 in the brand’s lineup. With the new clutch and charging upgrades addressing two of the most common rider complaints, the 2026 Classic 350 looks set to hold its ground against rivals like the Honda H’ness CB350, Jawa Standard and Yezdi Roadster.
Interested buyers can book a test ride at their nearest Royal Enfield dealership or through the brand’s official website.
