We are expecting Royal Enfield sales to improve in the coming months as COVID-19 related nationwide restrictions are being relaxed. Also, the company is preparing to launch the highly awaited new Royal Enfield Classic 350. The motorcycle has been spied numerous times in the past, however, its latest spy video has revealed the entire motorcycle suggesting that the launch is nearing. In fact, perhaps, the new Classic 350 would have already been at the dealerships if it wasn't for the pandemic.

The new Royal Enfield Classic 350 will be offered in a single-seat version and a dual split seating arrangement. Customers will also get a choice of either going with the dual disc setup or a rear drum brake variant. The motorcycle will be offered in a variety of colour options including green, matte grey, desert storm, and glossy dark grey. Apart from the new paint schemes, the bike will also feature updated graphics for a fresh look and a more appealing visual stance.
In other news, a road-biased version of the Royal Enfield Himalayan has been spied testing. The prototype looked similar to the current model that's on sale, however, it also had a bunch of differences like no windscreen, single-pod instrument cluster, revised design, etc.
