Design
The Royal Enfield Classic epitomises the classic feel with modern engineering. The well-rounded tank to the broad mud guards is an immediate attention seeker.
The side box shaped like a 'V' has been synonymous with the bullet from when it started production back 100 years ago. This continues to be a big draw even in the current era.
The headlamp is round and asserts the classic look along with the rounded taillamp. Also, the monkey cap on the headlamp brings back the past into the future with so much of ease.
The thigh pad along the tank is practical and yet it gives you the charm of the golden era. The new motorcycle, however, has its own unique features like the single seat and new wheels.
The Classic 350 and the 500 are the same in design, but, they differ themselves with the colour options.
The 350 comes in Mint, Ash, Chestnut, Lagoon, Silver and Black. The 500 comes in some exciting colour options like Classic Silver, Classic Black, Classic Tan, Squadron Blue, Desert Storm, Battle Green, and chrome version of Classic Black, Chrome Graphite and Chrome Green.
