Royal Enfield updates Classic 350 lineup with new features

Royal Enfield has updated its Classic 350 lineup, including the introduction of the Gorkha Edition. This special edition features a military-inspired green color, kukri knife emblems, and a Nepali inscription that translates to ‘it is better to die than to live as a coward.’ Mechanically, the Gorkha Edition includes an assist and anti-dribble clutch and a USB-C charging port.

For the standard 2026 Classic 350 range, pricing varies between Rs 1.87 lakh and Rs 2.24 lakh based on color and ABS configuration. While all models now include USB-C charging and adjustable levers, dual-channel ABS is tied to specific color choices like Emerald and Stealth Black, rather than being a standalone option.

In the competitive mid-range market, the updated TVS Ronin serves as a primary alternative to Royal Enfield models like the Hunter 350. The Ronin offers a lighter package and a wider range of technology, including traction control and connected features, with prices ranging from Rs 1.30 lakh to Rs 1.64 lakh. In contrast, the Hunter 350 provides a larger engine and higher torque, with prices between Rs 1.38 lakh and Rs 1.71 lakh.
