Royal Enfield is all set to roll out the updated Classic 350 on August 12, 2024. The brand’s bestseller will receive a nip-and-tuck update and is expected to come with several aesthetic and feature changes to keep the model more relevant against newer rivals. The update also comes right in time for the festive season with sales expected to witness an uptick, given the brand saw an eight per cent drop in volumes last month. Here’s what to expect on the 2025 Royal Enfield Classic 350.

2025 Royal Enfield Classic 350: What to expect?

The updated Royal Enfield Classic 350 is expected to get subtle styling changes while retaining the same design language. Expect new paint options and a revised feature list including an LED headlamp. The modern classic is also expected to get a revised variant lineup with most of the new features making it to the top variants of the motorcycle.

The instrument console will also likely see upgrades with more information packed in. The model could finally get details like distance-to-empty in its latest avatar. Moreover, the tripper navigation pod on the top-end Classic 350 could see revisions to work more effectively than the current model.

That said, do not expect major changes to the mechanicals of the Royal Enfield Classic 350.
