Overview

The 2011 Enfield Classic 350 stands as a testament to the timeless charm of classic motorcycles, perfectly blending nostalgia with modern functionality. Positioned within the classic category, this bike appeals to both seasoned riders and newcomers alike who are drawn to the rich heritage of Royal Enfield. With its iconic design cues reminiscent of days gone by, the Classic 350 captures the essence of motorcycling with its retro aesthetics, yet offers the reliability and performance expected of contemporary machines. As a product of Royal Enfield, a brand synonymous with rugged durability and classic styling, the Classic 350 remains a popular choice for those seeking a unique riding experience. At the heart of the Classic 350 lies a robust 346cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, delivering 19.20 horsepower at 5250 RPM and a torque of 28 Nm at 4000 RPM. This powerplant is an ode to simplicity and reliability, offering smooth acceleration and a responsive throttle, making it ideal for both city commuting and leisurely rides on winding country roads. Riders can expect a top speed of 120 km/h (74.6 mph), which, while not earth-shattering, is perfectly suited for a classic cruiser. The four-speed gearbox provides a satisfying tactile experience, allowing riders to enjoy the bike's character while maneuvering through urban landscapes or open highways. The air-cooled engine, combined with a compression ratio of 7.3:1, ensures that the Classic 350 maintains a steady and enjoyable performance on long rides. The bike's classic styling is complemented by practical features that enhance the overall riding experience. With both electric and kick starters, the Classic 350 ensures that starting up is never a hassle. The 14.5-liter fuel tank allows riders to embark on longer journeys without frequent stops for refueling, while the dual-tone color options—red, black, and white—add a touch of personalization to each ride. The front telescopic suspension with hydraulic damping and rear swingarm with gas shock absorbers offer a comfortable ride, absorbing bumps and providing stability on various terrains. Additionally, the steel frame and a weight of 163 kg (359.4 pounds) give the motorcycle a sturdy feel, contributing to its confidence-inspiring handling. **
