2026 Royal Enfield Classic 350 Launched with Slip-and-Assist Clutch & USB-C

Royal Enfield has officially launched the updated 2026 Classic 350 in India, and this time, the brand is bringing some highly anticipated rider-focused features to its best-selling motorcycle. Following in the footsteps of the Hunter 350 and Meteor 350, the new Classic 350 finally gets a slip-and-assist clutch. This addition makes the clutch pull significantly lighter, ensuring smoother and more effortless gear shifting—especially helpful in stop-and-go city traffic. Riders will also appreciate the new built-in USB Type-C fast charging port neatly tucked under the clutch lever, making it easy to charge devices on the go.

If you're looking to get your hands on these new features, keep in mind that they are exclusively available on the dual-channel ABS variants, which start at Rs 1,94,668 (ex-showroom). The standard single-channel ABS models will still be available with a starting price of Rs 1,87,434. Along with the feature refresh, Royal Enfield has updated the color palette. You can now choose from seven striking options, including Redditch Red, Madras Red, Medallion Bronze, Commando Sand, Gun Grey, Stealth Black, and Emerald. Meanwhile, the Halcyon Black and Jodhpur Blue colors have been officially discontinued.

Underneath these quality-of-life updates, the motorcycle retains the classic mechanical foundation riders have come to love. It is still powered by the refined and reliable 349cc J-series engine, pushing out 20.48 PS and 27 Nm of torque. The underpinnings are completely unchanged, featuring a 19-inch front wheel and an 18-inch rear wheel, available in either spoke or alloy depending on the variant. With a comfortable 805mm seat height and 170mm of ground clearance, the 2026 Classic 350 remains perfectly tailored to tackle both the open highway and unpredictable city roads.
