The name Royal Enfield requires no introduction. As one of the oldest motorcycle manufacturers, the automaker has become synonymous with retro-styled bikes. As a result, we were ecstatic to hear about more upcoming Royal Enfield bikes in India from Indian motorcycle manufacturers. While there are some newcomers on the list, we expect to see the good old Royal Enfield Classic 350 with exciting upgrades. The following are the names, expected prices, launch dates, mileage, and other specifications of the upcoming Royal Enfield bikes in India.
Royal Enfield’s Upcoming Bikes in India: 2022
1. Classic 350 (Updated 2021)
Classic 350 is considered one of the best-selling bikes of Royal Enfield and also comes to re-enter the Indian market with a new set of upgrades and enhancements. We can expect some new features as well as a few old ones based on the new J Platform.
While the classic retro design will be kept, there are rumors of newly designed indicators, switchgear, and handlebars. In addition, instead of the aggressive design of its predecessor, we can expect sleeker LED headlamps. Enfield is also expected to release a variety of variants and color schemes, with estimates ranging from nearly 15 color schemes to 11 possible variants.
The most significant upgrade for this bike will be the much-anticipated 349cc engine with a 5-speed gearbox. The new Classic 350’s engine structure will be based on the RE Meteor 350. Based on this, we can expect the Classic 350 to have a maximum power output of 21 hp and a maximum torque output of 28 Nm.
The 2021 Royal Enfield Classic 350 is expected to be released in the fall of 2021, with a price tag of Rs. 1.70 Lakh.

Bullet 350, which is known as the flagship product of Royal Enfield, is expected to make a comeback this year with exciting upgrades and enhancements.
The Enfield 2021 Bullet 350 will retain its much-loved classic, retro style with a few design tweaks here and there. The 349cc engine will have a 5-speed transmission and maximum power and torque of 20hp and 27Nm.
The classic bike will have dual disc brakes on both the front and rear suspensions, as well as telescopic forks and shock absorbers on both suspensions. The Royal Enfield 2021 Bullet 350 is set to be released next year for Rs. 1.45 lakh. This is considered as one of the most awaited upcoming royal Enfield bikes, a better version of our favorite Bullet.

3. Roadster
Indian automakers have been spotted testing another 650cc classic bike along with the upcoming Royal Enfield Shotgun. This bike, most likely dubbed the Royal Enfield Roadster 650, is expected to hit the market sometime next year for Rs. 3.50 Lakh.
According to the rumors surrounding it, the new Roadster will be ideal for long-distance tours. For maximum comfort, we can expect forward-set footpegs, low seats, and wide, raised handlebars.
The Royal Enfield Roadster will compete with models like the Kawasaki Vulcan S.
The powerful 650cc Continental GT and Interceptor 650 engines, which produce 48hp and 52Nm of torque, will most likely be used in this bike. The 648cc engine will almost certainly be mated to a slipper clutch and a 6-speed transmission. The Royal Enfield Roadster 650 could also feature Enfield’s first inverted front fork, standard rear shock absorbers, and dual-channel ABS.
We have high expectations for the Royal Enfield Roadster because it is the most expensive bike on this list.

4. Scram
The name “Scram” was recently trademarked by Royal Enfield, leading us to speculate whether a scrambler motorcycle will be included in the upcoming lineup.
The Royal Enfield Scram will be based on the new Meteor 350 and will use a J platform similar to the Meteor 350. It may also receive its 350cc air-cooled engine and tough tyres and spoke wheels to improve its off-road capability. It could produce a maximum of 22 bhp and 28 Nm of torque. The much-anticipated Royal Enfield Scram is expected to have improved features and upgrades and will be slightly more expensive, costing Rs. 1.98 lakh (expected). While no official updates have been provided, we can anticipate the Enfield scrambler hitting the market in the middle of next year, around July 2022.
Features:
| Engine in CC | 350 |
| Maximum Power in BHP | 22 |
| Maximum Torque in NM | 28 |
| Front Brake | Disc |

5. Royal Enfield Hunter 350
The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is set to hit the Indian market in mid-2022, with a price tag of Rs. 1.75 Lakh. While there have been no official images of the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 released, this classic model has been spotted testing with a number of exciting features.
The scrambler will keep the classic retro look of Enfield bikes, but with a few changes like a neutral foot leg position and comfortable handlebars, making the model ideal for long journeys. There will also be a round headlight and taillight, a comfortable single seat, a semi-digital instrument panel, and round turn indicators. Although there was speculation that the new Tripper pod would not be available for the Royal Enfield Hunter 350, recent rumors suggest otherwise. The model appears to be getting the pod, as well as the air-cooled, single-cylinder 349cc engine seen on their new Meteor 350 and upcoming Classic 350. The Hunter 350 is also expected to have dual-channel ABS, double disc brakes, telescopic front forks, and rear shock absorbers.
The upcoming Bajaj Triumph, Honda H’Ness CB350, and Jawa Forty Two will compete with the Royal Enfield Hunter 350.
