The manufacturer got an exceptional response in the domestic and the market abroad. Hence, they decided to take a step further and expand their business.

The secret behind the Meteor 350’s Success

You may ponder that the Meteor 350 looks similar to the Thunderbird 350. But let me tell you, from the chassis to the engine, everything is newly designed for this cruiser. The new Royal Enfield Meteor 350 gets a new dual cradle chassis that helps to give the motorcycle added rigidity, also it helps minimize vibrations.

Talking about vibes, engine assembly was one of the major flaws from the previous 350cc motorcycle. And the company is happy to report that the bike gets an additional counterbalancer shaft that controls a lot of the vibrations.

The numbers say for themselves as the motor generates 20.2bhp of max power and 27Nm of peak torque. It comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox, that is surly versatile when ambling in the city and also while cruising on the highway.
