2026 Royal Enfield Classic 350 Unveiled With More Powerful Motor, Improved Features And Old School Looks
The Classic 350 has been one of the most successful cruiser motorcycles in the country and Royal Enfield has now launched the Classic 350 2026 in India. Despite the updates, the new iteration maintains the model's traditional look, but introduces some tweaks designed to improve performance, comfort and day-to-day use for riders throughout the country.
The 2026 Classic 350 continues with its trademark retro styling based on the form of a teardrop fuel tank, curved fenders, and chrome accents that bring a sense of nostalgia that has defined the model for decades. The changes comprise of new colour tones that improves the look of the Classic, while keeping the same silhouette its known for.
The Classic 350 gets a 349 cc single-cylinder air/oil-cooled engine under its tank that seems to be tuned for a soft and easy going torque delivery and relaxed riding characteristics. That powertrain is intended to offer predictable behavior in city traffic while also delivering satisfying torque for highway driving.
The 2026 model broadly sticks close to the Classic formula for its core mechanical package, but adds some thoughtful feature upgrades that increase its usability. Its gives an updated instrument cluster, improved braking system with ABS and better quality electrical parts, all to elevate long term satisfaction with ownership.
Comfort-seeking riders, meanwhile, will find the Classic 350’s suspension setup and ergonomics — unhurried riding posture with easily lovin’ endurance for the daily commute and weekend tour — as familiar as the latest phone model from a recognizable manufacturer. Royal Enfield has also addressed vibration management because no one wants a bike that is unpleasant and confidence-sapping on the long haul.
In India, the Classic 350 range begins at around ₹1.82 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base variant and goes up to approximately ₹2.17 lakh for the top variant. With this pricing, the Classic 350 is well inside the mid-size cruiser territory where it goes up with rival retro motorcycles but holds its own firm follower base.
While the Classic 350 has an age-old layout, Royal enfield keeps upgrading it according to latest rider needs. Strengthening its position as a cult model in the Indian motorcycle landscape, the 2026 launch will cater to the long-time Royal Enfield enthusiasts and the rising young brigade who have recently embraced the allure of cruising.
Given the continued strength of demand for the Classic 350, we expect Royal Enfield to continue backing the new model with dealer incentives and financing programs to ease ownership. The 2026 Classic 350 is yet another example of Royal Enfield's ability to marry heritage styling with practical advancements that riders care about.
