Royal Enfield has stolen the spotlight at the ongoing Bharat Mobility Global Expo in Delhi by revealing the much-anticipated Classic 350 Flex Fuel.
This revolutionary motorcycle not only boasts the timeless appeal of the Classic 350 but also comes equipped with the flexibility to run on an E85 petrol-ethanol blend.
A Striking Visual Departure
The Classic 350 Flex Fuel doesn’t just stop at groundbreaking technology; it embraces a distinctive visual identity. Adorning a bespoke green-red paint scheme, this variant stands out from its conventional counterparts.
The unique color palette not only adds a touch of exclusivity but also serves as a visual testament to Royal Enfield’s commitment to pushing boundaries.
Unveiling the Mechanical Symphony
Underneath the captivating exterior lies a machine that remains true to the Classic 350’s mechanical prowess. The Flex Fuel variant retains the mechanical DNA of the standard Classic 350, featuring an air-cooled, 349cc, single-cylinder engine.
Generating 20.2hp at 6,100rpm and 27Nm of torque at 4,000rpm, this powerhouse is mated to a smooth 5-speed gearbox, ensuring an exhilarating riding experience.
Flexibility Without Compromise
What sets the Classic 350 Flex Fuel apart is its ability to run on a petrol-ethanol blend containing up to 85 percent ethanol. This eco-conscious feature not only expands the bike’s fuel compatibility but also opens the door to a greener future.
Importantly, the flex-fuel adaptation doesn’t compromise the bike’s performance, maintaining the same level of excellence seen in the standard Classic 350.
Future Possibilities
With the success of the Flex Fuel Classic 350, Royal Enfield hints at the potential expansion of this eco-friendly technology across its other popular models.
Imagine a future where the Meteor, Hunter, and Bullet also embrace the flex-fuel revolution, providing riders with more sustainable choices without sacrificing the iconic Royal Enfield experience.
Price Points
Despite the innovative enhancements, Royal Enfield remains committed to offering value for money. The Classic 350 Flex Fuel is competitively priced, with the range currently spanning between Rs 1.93 lakh and 2.25 lakh (ex-showroom, Chennai).
