# Royal Enfield hikes Classic 350 price by up to Rs 2,000 2026-10-07T07:12:31+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Royal Enfield has increased the price of its popular Classic 350 motorcycle by up to Rs 2,000 across the entire lineup, effective immediately. The entry-level Redditch variant now starts at an ex-showroom price of Rs 1.89 lakh, while the top-end Chrome trim costs Rs 2.26 lakh. The Gorkha Edition saw a smaller hike of Rs 1,000, bringing its price to Rs 2.12 lakh. No mechanical updates accompany the price revision, the motorcycle retains its 349cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine producing 20bhp and 27Nm, paired with a 5-speed gearbox. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The price hike of up to Rs 2,000 on the Classic 350 raises the entry point for buyers in the popular modern-classic segment. Royal Enfield has not added any mechanical or feature updates to justify the increase, which could push cost-conscious customers toward rivals such as the Triumph Bonneville 400 or Honda CB350. The effect on the Classic 350's strong sales numbers will be tested in the coming months. ## Coverage - tv9hindi.com Straight price hike report with variant table, no editorial slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
