New spy images of the 2021 Royal Enfield Classic 350 have surfaced online. The latest spy images give us a closer look at the new bike.
The new Classic 350 is based on the J platform. It gets a familiar circular headlamp with pilot lamps on either side. The production-spec bike could get LED daytime running lights. The bike has a split seat, circular tail lamp and a chrome exhaust. It could also get the Tripper navigation system that debuted on the Meteor 350.
The Classic 350 will be powered by a 349cc, single-cylinder, engine that has fuel injection. This is the same engine that powers the Meteor 350 and it produces 20.2 BHP and 27 Nm. The bike will come equipped with disc brakes at both ends and is likely to get dual-channel ABS as well.

Looking forward to the changes. The handlebar looks like the normal one (Bullet) and not the shorter classic style.
If the vibrations are taken care till 100 kmph and the prices are not jacked to crazy levels, this should be a winner.
RE has retained the current generation Classic's proven design with subtle updates, this model is bound to outsell the Meteor 350 with updated chassis and increased refinement level. With accessories like the windscreen, alloy wheels and panniers, it will become a good value proposition in the RE lineup.
I am eagerly waiting for the next generation Standard Bullet/Electra 350 model with J Platform updates largely due to its old school looks and balanced ergonomics. Hope it gets all the bells and whistles like Dual Channel ABS and plethora of customization options through the MiY (Make it Yours) Configurator.
Wow, love the way they have transformed the new J platform into Classic design. Pretty close and this should continue to sell like hot cakes.
Only thing Meteor lacked was the classic appeal and with the next gen C350, RE should be happy until next decade :)
I think they will offer crazy combinations with this - starting with single ABS and spoke wheel(10-20K cheaper than Meteor base) and all the way up to all chrome classic350 that might overlap with meteor pricing levels.
This is the bike I want! The Bullet always had the right posture and feel for me, should be perfect with modern internals and chassis.
Problem is I'm going to need it soon. Can't imagine the wait time for delivery on this one. I know they were quick to ship Meteors, but suspect the demand is going to be much higher for this one..
I may end up having to go with a Hness... or use an Activa until this is available :)
But I digress. I hope they also use this platform - or something with similar riding posture and pillion ergonomics - for a 650 twin too.
Also, hope they give this alloys for heavens sake - I am so not looking forward to clean spokes ever again unless I can help it.
Is there a date of launch?
February launch is likely as RE has announced a launch every quarter for 2021.
I do hope the current colour schemes of the classic are available when launched

If you can't wait, then CB350(i refuse to call it Hness) is your ideal choice in the 350cc standard classic roadster model today(until next gen C350,INT350 arrives)
My guess is they will keep this classic350 at a lower price point and slot in Interceptor 350 against CB350.
I guess the wait time will be realistic as RE already has the capacity to sell 50-60K units per month. Also you will either get Alloys as standard fitment OR optional accessory(same platform sharing with meteor and another Interceptor 350cc in future)
Instrument cluster of the upcoming Classic 350 has been spied, comes with tripper navigation

Current C350 already has alloy wheels. No reason this won't have them.

Hope RE gives an option of a similar looking alloy for their 650 Twins.
I think the classic is equipped with 19" wheels else it can be retrofit on the Interceptor 650. :D

19" front, 18"on the rear. But I don't think hub size matches.
I was quite hopeful RE will have alloys on 2021 650 twins after showing a placeholder on MiY app for months. But they just renewed the color schemes and have removed alloys from "coming soon".
Not sure what's going on there.
2021 Royal Enfield Classic 350 instrument console has been refreshed and it comprises a display screen along with an analogue speedometer.
