The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 - we’ve been hearing this moniker since the beginning of 2020. One of the highly anticipated motorcycles of the year, the Meteor 350 played hide and seek for several months before Royal Enfield eventually allotted the new motorcycle a launch date - 6 November, which is today! Yes, that’s right. The wait is finally over and the brand-new Royal Enfield Meteor 350 goes on sale in India.
Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Features
Most of the information about the new Meteor 350 was already known thanks to the leaked brochure and several images. One of the most interesting features of the Thunderbird successor is the Tripper Navigation Display Unit, which is placed next to the main semi-digital instrument cluster. Riders can connect their smartphones to this system via Bluetooth and benefit from the turn-by-turn navigation details.
Some of the other key features of the new Meteor 350 include a USB charging port, LED ring around the headlamp, relaxed riding position, comfortable seat, alloy wheels, retro-styled turns signals, and more.
