Royal Enfield Classic 350 Standard With A Rear Disc Brake Launched

The Royal Enfield Classic 350 standard version has been updated with a rear disc brake, priced at Rs. 1.47 lakh (ex-showroom). The updated version comes weeks after the Classic 350 ABS was introduced as part of the new Signals Edition. The company at the time did say that it is in the process of upgrading its entire range to ABS and the rear disc brake version on the base Classic 350 takes a step towards the same. There is no ABS yet on the base Classic 350. Compared to the Signals Edition that retails at Rs. 1.62 lakh, the base Classic 350 is cheaper by Rs. 15,000.

The rear disc brake version on the Royal Enfield Classic 350 was first introduced on the gunmetal grey version and now makes it to the base trim. Apart from the additional feature, there's no change in the model. The bike continues to draw power from the same 346 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled motor tuned for 19.8 bhp and 28 Nm of peak torque. The motor is paired with a 5-speed gearbox. Suspension duties are handled by telescopic forks up front and twin shocks at the rear.

Earlier this month, deliveries of the Royal Enfield Himalayan ABS and the Classic 500 ABS commenced across the country. Both bikes, along with the Classic 350 ABS Signals Edition use a dual-channel unit. The move has been made in order to meet the safety regulations that will be mandated from April 2019 onwards.

Meanwhile, the highly awaited Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 are all set to be launched. We will be riding them in Santa Cruz, California, this week, while the global launch is slated for later this month. Stay tuned to our social media handles for all the updates on the 650 Twins and do log on to CarAndBike for the review too.

While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.

A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production.
