Royal Enfield has already launched the Classic 500 Pegasus in the Indian market with a price tag of Rs 2.49 lakh on-road (Maharashtra). Only 1,000 units of the Classic 500 Pegasus will be manufactured and 250 units were allocated for India. All the units got sold in the recent online sale.

The report states that is it still unclear whether the Classic 350 Pegasus will also be a limited edition model similar to the Classic 500 Pegasus. But we expect the motorcycle to be sold in limited numbers as it is a special edition model. The overall design of the Classic 350 Pegasus will be similar to its elder sibling.

After the introduction of Classic 500 Pegasus, Royal Enfield is all set to launch the Classic 350 Pegasus in the Indian market.

The Royal Enfield Classic 350 Pegasus is expected to come with a premium of Rs 20,000 to Rs 25,000 as compared to the price of the standard Classic 350.
