Royal Enfield Meteor 350’s Leaked Brochure Reveals Tasty New Details

[Update: Royal Enfield has launched the Meteor 350 in India. For pricing and other information from the launch, head here]

• The Meteor 350 will arrive in three variants: Fireball, Stellar and Supernova.
• These are primarily colour variants with a few variants getting extra accessories like backrest as standard.
• The launch is expected to take place by mid-September.

The hype around the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 ain’t subsiding anytime soon. The internet is scuttling away for any small bit of news on the upcoming Thunderbird successor. The bike was ready to hit the dealerships a long while back only for the pandemic to disrupt the plans. Nevertheless, we had come to know that there is a high chance the Meteor 350 will be launched in the next couple of weeks. The brochure leak just seems to back up our claim as it unearths more details on the upcoming RE.

The Meteor 350 will be offered in three variants that have astronomical nomenclature. The base variant is called a Fireball, followed by the mid-spec Stellar and the top-spec Supernova. These are mere aesthetic variants of the bike with the Firebolt variant arriving in either gloss yellow or red. The Stellar gets metallic red, metallic blue and matte black colours. It will also receive a 3D logo, a pillion backrest, body coloured panels and chrome-finished handlebars, fuel injector covers and exhaust.

On the Supernova, Royal Enfield has gone for a rather oddball dual-tone colour scheme of blue/black or brown/black. In addition to the bits that you get on the Stellar, the Supernova also features premium dual-tone alloy wheels and paint, along with a premium seat cover, chromed out indicators, cushioned backrest, and a windscreen.

We think you could get the rest of the accessories from the barrage of parts that Royal Enfield offers as an aftermarket solution. We particularly like the look of the Fireball colours and aren’t that big fans of the Supernovas.

Thankfully, all three trims will get turn-by-turn navigation and smartphone connectivity. This is a first for a Royal Enfield motorcycle. These features will be shown on the smaller roundel which is a colour TFT unit. The larger one remains a semi digital cluster with multiple tripmeters and hopefully a range indicator.

The J-platform was touted to be a big improvement from the heritage bike maker in many regards with some modernality brought to the rather old school setup. The new 350cc engine might still retain that thump but hopefully it will be counterbalanced and better isolated than the UCE. More power and torque will obviously be welcomed. Expect Royal Enfield to also fit a slip-and-assist clutch to the new engine to make for light clutch action.

We hope to be riding the Meteor 350 soon. So stick around to ZigWheels.com for further development on the new Royal Enfield.
