Introducing the new motorcycles, Mr. Rudratej Singh, President, Royal Enfield said:
We try to stick to doing things that are authentic. In that spirit, the new Gunmetal Grey and Stealth Black variants of the Classic are an ode to our riders and their journeys. It is an authentic expression of self and a celebration of the dark and the spirit of the various shades of night when a rider reminisces the day gone by and the day that is to unfold. We are confident that this will resonate with riders and aspirants who believe in what we believe. Pure Motorcycling. With these new Classic additions riders have more ways to tell their story.
The mechanical underpinnings of the two motorcycles are the same as the existing ones. The Classic 350 continues with the 346cc single cylinder twin spark engine that’s good for 19.8 bhp of power at 5,250 rpm and 28 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm.
