Royal Enfield, a leading cruiser motorcycle maker, launched an all-new easy cruiser, the Royal Enfield Meteor 350. The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 will be available in 3 editions − Fireball, Stellar and Supernova. The Meteor 350 will compete against the likes of the recently launch H’ness CB350 from Honda, Jawa, and Benelli Imperiale 400.
To begin with, the Meteor 350 inherits its name from a Royal Enfield motorcycle that was launched at the end of 1952. Since it takes over from where the Thunderbird 350 had left, it has been built on a brand new platform and a better technology.
EXTERIOR & STYLING
The top-of-the-line Supernova comes in blue coloured fuel tank with matching body parts. The tank has a black colour at the base. It has smart ‘Royal Enfield’ badging on either side. It has a choice of premium split seats and a windscreen. The seats are well cushioned and comfortable and the pillion rider gets smart-looking grab rails and a comfortable backrest.
There is a generous spread of black colour around the wheel rims, in and around the engine, while the latter has machined fins. The bike gets chrome handlebars and exhaust. All editions are fitted with alloy wheels and tubeless tyres as standard.
The Meteor 350 headlamp which is round in shape has LED DRLs but is halogen. The rear light is all LED. They give a retro-classic look.
Handlebar controls and switchgear are of premium quality. The switches too are easy to operate and are made of good material.
