New Delhi: Royal Enfield has launched the new 2025 Meteor 350 in India. This popular cruiser motorcycle now comes with important updates. It gets new features and new color options. The company aims to make the riding experience even better for its customers. The Meteor 350 is known for its easy riding style and classic looks. These new changes make it a more attractive bike in 2025.
The biggest news is the addition of new, modern features. Many of these features are now standard across all models. This gives more value to buyers. The bike keeps its famous cruiser design. But it adds technology that modern riders want.
What’s New in the 2025 Model?
Royal Enfield has listened to its customers. The 2025 Meteor 350 gets several key upgrades.
First, the bike now has a slip-and-assist clutch. This is a big change. This new clutch makes the clutch lever feel much lighter. It is easier to pull, which helps a lot in heavy city traffic. It also helps when changing gears down quickly. It stops the rear wheel from locking up. This makes the ride safer and smoother.
Second, the Tripper navigation pod is now standard. Before, this was an extra feature on some models. Now, every Meteor 350 owner gets it. The Tripper pod connects to your smartphone using Bluetooth. It shows you turn-by-turn directions. This is very useful for long trips and for finding new places.
Third, all models now come with a bright LED headlamp. This is a big improvement from the old halogen lamp. The LED light is whiter and stronger. It helps the rider see the road clearly at night. This makes night riding much safer. The bike also gets new switchgear to control the lights and other functions.
Engine and Performance
The heart of the Meteor 350 remains the same. It uses the trusted 349cc J-series engine. This is a single-cylinder engine. It is air-oil cooled. This engine is famous for being very smooth. It does not vibrate much, even at higher speeds. This makes long rides very comfortable.
The engine produces 20.2 bhp of power. It makes 27 Nm of torque. Torque is the pulling power of the engine. The Meteor 350 has good torque at low speeds. This means you do not have to change gears very often in the city. The bike feels relaxed and easy to ride.
The engine is paired with a 5-speed gearbox. The new slip-and-assist clutch makes using this gearbox very smooth. The bike has a classic Royal Enfield sound. It has a gentle “thump” that many riders love. The bike gives a mileage of around 35 kilometers per liter.
Design and Comfort
The Meteor 350 is a true cruiser. It has a low seat, which is only 765mm high. This means most riders can easily put their feet on the ground. This makes the bike easy to handle.
The rider sits in a relaxed position. The handlebars are pulled back. The footpegs are set forward. This seating style is called “feet-forward.” It is very comfortable for long-distance highway cruising. The bike is built on a strong twin-downtube frame. This frame gives good stability on the highway.
The bike has alloy wheels and tubeless tires. This is a very convenient feature. If you get a puncture, the air escapes slowly. This is safer than a tube-type tire.
For safety, the bike comes with dual-channel ABS. This means both the front and rear brakes have an anti-lock braking system. This prevents the wheels from skidding during hard braking. It gives the rider more control.
