Royal Enfield Meteor 350 price is lesser than Honda CB350; it gets a host of new features and is based on an all new platform…
After a little delay, Royal Enfield has finally launched its all new motorcycle Meteor 350 in India. The Meteor is a new brand name in the portfolio and it replaces the Thunderbird moniker. The company is promoting it as an ‘easy cruiser’ and it comes with a host of modern features maintaining the retro charm at the same time.
The Meteor 350 is powered by an all new J series engine that has been developed ground up. Though the single cylinder, air-cooled, 349cc motor carries similar displacement, it now gains Single Overhead Camshaft, ditching the older pushrod motor. The air-oil cooled engine produces 20.2 bhp of peak power at 6100 rpm and 27 Nm of max torque at 4000 rpm.
It is paired with a 5-speed gearbox with the fifth gear being an overdrive for what Royal Enfield calls as ‘stress free’ and ‘economical’ highway cruise. It is further aided by a 7 plate clutch for easy gear changes.
One of the most prominent feature of the bike is the Tripper navigation system – a Google Maps powered Royal Enfield app that connects with smartphones through Bluetooth and offers turn by turn navigation to the riders. This is the first time that a Royal Enfield has gotten such a functionality.
