Royal Enfield upgrades Classic 350 with new rider-focused features to strengthen market appeal

Royal Enfield has introduced the 2026 Classic 350 with new comfort and convenience features, as the mid-size motorcycle maker looks to further strengthen the appeal of one of its best-selling models in the competitive 250cc–750cc segment.

The updated Classic 350 now comes equipped with an Assist and Slipper Clutch across all dual-channel variants, offering lighter clutch action for easier operation during city commutes and long-distance touring. The feature also enables smoother upshifts and downshifts, enhancing rider comfort and confidence across varied riding conditions.

In another practical upgrade, the motorcycle now features a USB Type-C fast charging port, allowing riders to charge smartphones and other compatible devices while on the move, catering to the growing demand for connected mobility.

The 2026 Classic 350 continues to be powered by Royal Enfield’s 349cc J-series engine, delivering its signature low-end torque, refined performance and relaxed riding character. The motorcycle retains its upright ergonomics, balanced chassis and dependable braking setup, making it suitable for urban commuting as well as highway touring.

Royal Enfield said the latest upgrades have been introduced without altering the Classic 350’s iconic design language, which continues to reflect the brand’s heritage through its timeless silhouette and handcrafted detailing.

The enhanced Classic 350 is available from Thursday across all authorised Royal Enfield dealerships in all dual-channel variants. It is offered in nine colourways, with prices starting at ₹1,87,434 (ex-showroom).
