In order to equip the model with a disc brake at the rear, Royal Enfield has also changed the swing-arm of the Classic 350 Redditch edition. Save for the addition of the rear disc and swing-arm, there are no mechanical or visual updates to the Classic 350 Redditch Red motorcycle.
Engine specifications remain unchanged and hence the rear disc brake equipped Royal Enfield Classic 350 Redditch continues to source power from the same 346cc, single-cylinder air cooled engine. This motor is capable of producing a maximum power output of 19.8 hp and 28 Nm of torque. This engine is paired to a five speed transmission.
