The Classic 250 2025 sticks to that unmistakable Royal Enfield vibe – round headlamp, teardrop metal tank, shiny chrome bits, and those heritage spoked or alloy wheels. It looks old-school, but don’t let that fool you. Underneath, you get a 249 cc single-cylinder engine built for today’s roads.
Engine & Performance
You’ve got a 249 cc, single-cylinder, air/oil-cooled, 4-stroke motor. Power sits around 18–20 bhp with 20–22 Nm of torque – enough for zipping through city traffic and still holding its own on the highway. It runs with a 5-speed manual gearbox, so if you’re used to classic bikes, you’ll feel right at home.
This bike isn’t about raw speed. Royal Enfield tuned it for everyday practicality – smooth torque at low speeds, minimal vibrations, and easy handling, especially on Indian roads. You get a ride that’s steady in traffic but won’t let you down if you want to stretch your legs out of town.
Mileage & Fuel Efficiency
One of the big reasons people are excited about the Classic 250? The mileage. You’re looking at around 35–40 km per litre in real-world riding, which is much better than most big cruisers. Ride with a light hand, and you might push that up to 42–45 kmpl. The tank holds about 13 to 13.5 litres, so you can cover 400–500 km before stopping for fuel. That’s plenty for both daily commutes and the occasional long ride.
If you want that Royal Enfield feel without the pain at the pump, this bike makes a strong case for itself, affordable to run, but still full of character.
Features & Comfort
Royal Enfield didn’t skimp on comfort or practicality. The upright seating keeps you comfortable whether you’re in city traffic or on a longer ride. Up front, you get telescopic forks, and at the back, twin shock absorbers – they’ve tuned the suspension for Indian roads, so it soaks up bumps without feeling too soft.
Braking’s sorted too, with disc brakes and dual-channel ABS (or at least standard ABS) to keep things safe when you need to stop quickly. It’s all built around a sturdy frame and metal tank—classic looks, but modern reliability.
Where the Classic 250 Stands Out and Where It Doesn’t
The vintage styling is spot-on, with that unmistakable Royal Enfield character. The engine offers a good mix of efficiency and manageable power, making it ideal for daily use and the odd highway run. You get a comfortable seating position, practical features, and lower running costs. ABS and other modern touches make riding safer and more enjoyable.
If you’re after raw power, this isn’t the bike. It doesn’t have the punch of bigger Royal Enfields, and at really high speeds, you’ll notice some vibration and the limits of its torque. If you ride long distances with a passenger and luggage, it might feel a bit underpowered.
