The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 isn’t here to compete with the race-focused bikes. It’s not chasing track times. It’s built for something better. Long, peaceful rides. Open highways. A bike that makes you feel connected to the road.
It comes with classic cruiser styling. Low seat height, pulled-back handlebars, forward-set footpegs. You sit relaxed. You ride without stress. The Meteor doesn’t rush you. It lets you enjoy the journey.
A Fresh Heart Beats Inside
This isn’t the old thumpy engine. The Meteor 350 gets a new 349cc, single-cylinder, air-oil cooled engine. It’s smooth. It’s refined. And it doesn’t lose the Royal Enfield character.
Power output is around 20.2 bhp at 6,100 rpm and 27 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. That may not sound massive on paper, but it’s how the power flows that matters.
Low-end torque is strong. That means you can cruise in higher gears at lower speeds. Overtaking in the city feels easy. And out on the highway, it gives you that laid-back, relaxed cruising feel.
Smooth Gearbox, Finally
Royal Enfield’s older bikes had a reputation. Clunky gearboxes. That changes here. The Meteor comes with a 5-speed gearbox. The clutch is light. Gear shifts are smooth. Even in bumper-to-bumper traffic, it doesn’t stress you out.
They’ve worked hard on this engine-gearbox combo. You can feel the difference within the first few kilometers of riding.
Perfectly Tuned for Indian Roads
The Meteor 350 handles Indian roads like it was born for them. Because it was.
Suspension is tuned for comfort. Telescopic forks at the front and twin shocks at the rear soak up potholes and rough patches. You don’t get thrown around. You glide.
The chassis is all-new. It’s a twin downtube spine frame that offers better stability and cornering confidence. The bike feels solid. No rattles. No nervousness. Just planted and stable ride.
Braking That Matches the Cruiser Feel
You get disc brakes at both ends. 300mm front disc and 270mm rear. And yes, it comes with dual-channel ABS. It’s not aggressive. It’s progressive. Perfect for cruiser-style riding.
The brakes have bite, but they’re not jerky. They offer control. Something you want when riding for long hours.
Easy on the Eyes, Built to Impress
Royal Enfield has nailed the design language with the Meteor. It keeps the charm of a classic cruiser. But also brings in subtle modern touches.
The round headlamp with LED DRL, chunky fuel tank, teardrop-style indicators, and chrome detailing – all scream premium. The alloy wheels add a bit of sportiness.
You also get three variants – Fireball, Stellar, and Supernova. Each has its own character. Fireball feels young and bold. Stellar is more elegant. Supernova is the top-tier variant with windscreen and premium dual-tone paint.
Colors That Speak to Every Rider
Royal Enfield didn’t stop at just the design. They gave each variant its own color options. Fireball comes in bright shades like red and yellow. Stellar leans towards subtle blues and blacks. Supernova shines in dual-tone brown or blue options.
Each color adds to the Meteor’s personality. Pick one that fits yours.
A Seat That Loves Long Rides
The seat is one of the highlights. It’s wide, well-cushioned, and has a low height of 765 mm. Shorter riders won’t feel uncomfortable. Taller riders won’t feel cramped either.
The pillion seat is also large and comes with a backrest in some variants. Your riding partner won’t complain on longer trips.
All-Digital But Still Classic
You get a semi-digital instrument cluster. The speedometer is analogue, but the rest is digital. It shows trip info, gear position, fuel level, clock, and even a digital compass.
Then comes the real star – the Tripper Navigation pod. Powered by Google Maps. Connect your phone via Bluetooth, and it gives you turn-by-turn navigation on a clean display. No distractions. Just what you need when you’re out exploring.
Riding Position That Supports You
The handlebar is wide and pulled back. The footpegs are slightly forward. You sit upright. Your spine stays straight. No wrist pain. No neck strain. That’s the kind of comfort you want on long highway rides.
Even on daily commutes, the riding posture helps. You can see the road well. Maneuvering in traffic feels relaxed.
Fuel Efficiency That Doesn’t Hurt
The Meteor 350 offers decent fuel efficiency. Expect around 35 to 40 km/l, depending on how you ride. That’s solid for a 350cc cruiser. You also get a 15-litre fuel tank. So, long-distance trips don’t need frequent fuel stops.
Built to Last, Easy to Maintain
Royal Enfield has worked on improving reliability. The engine is smoother. The parts feel solid. Build quality has stepped up from older models.
Service intervals are rider-friendly. Spare parts are available across India. And the brand’s service network has grown a lot.
Price That Makes It a Steal
At ₹2.05 lakh (ex-showroom), the Meteor 350 offers big-bike feel without breaking the bank. You get the charm of a cruiser, the comfort for daily use, and the reliability of a modern setup.
It competes with bikes like the Jawa 42, Honda H’ness CB350, and Benelli Imperiale 400. But the Meteor stands strong with its balance of design, comfort, and heritage.
If you’re someone who dreams of open roads and effortless cruising, the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 might just be what you’ve been waiting for.
