New Royal Enfield Classic 350 to Not Have Kick Start Feature

The new Royal Enfield Classic 350 is one of the highly awaited launches of the year. As per previous media reports, the Chennai-based two-wheeler giant will introduce the new model on 27 August 2021. While there are still a few days left, thanks to all the spy shots and videos, many details of the next-gen model have already been revealed including that, just like the Royal Enfield Meteor 350, the new Classic 350 will not have the kick start feature.

The new Royal Enfield Classic 350 will be based on the brand’s new J-platform which also underpins the Royal Enfield Meteor 350. Both motorcycles also share the same engine - a 349cc single-cylinder motor featuring an advanced SOHC and a balancer shaft for smooth operation and reduced vibration. This engine in the Meteor 350 makes 20.2 BHP of max power and 27 Nm of peak torque and comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox.
