Overview
Introducing the 2015 Enfield Classic 350: A Timeless Ride The 2015 Enfield Classic 350 stands as a testament to Royal Enfield's enduring legacy in the motorcycle world, combining classic styling with modern capabilities. Positioned in the retro classic segment, this motorcycle appeals not only to enthusiasts of vintage aesthetics but also to those who seek a reliable cruiser for both urban commuting and leisurely rides. With its iconic silhouette and rich heritage, the Classic 350 has crafted a niche for itself in the hearts of riders who appreciate the charm of simplicity, making it a sought-after model in the Royal Enfield lineup. Engine Performance and Riding Characteristics At the heart of the Classic 350 lies a robust 346cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a respectable 19.8 horsepower at 5250 RPM and 28 Nm of torque at 4000 RPM. This powertrain, coupled with a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive, offers a smooth and engaging riding experience. The engine's air-cooled design and the reliable UCAL 29mm constant vacuum carburettor ensure that the Classic 350 thrives in a variety of conditions, making it a dependable companion for long journeys or short weekend rides. The motorcycle’s relaxed riding position, aided by a comfortable seat and upright handlebars, further enhances its suitability for long-distance cruising while providing an intimate connection with the road. Key Features and Technology The Classic 350 is adorned with features that marry traditional design with modern technology. Its single downtube frame, utilizing the engine as a stressed member, contributes to its sturdy build while keeping the weight manageable at 187 kg (412.3 lbs). The suspension setup, featuring telescopic front forks with 130 mm of travel and a swingarm with gas shock absorbers at the rear, ensures a smooth ride over varied terrains. The braking system comprises a single 280 mm disc brake in the front and a traditional drum brake at the rear, providing ample stopping power. Riders will appreciate both the electric and kick starter options, ensuring they can fire up the engine with ease. Available in a range of striking colors—blue, black, white, and silver—the Classic 350 is as visually appealing as it is mechanically sound. **
