Vivek Automobiles under MV Dugar Group, the official dealer of Royal Enfield Motorcycles in Nepal, has unveiled the new motorcycle Meteor 350cc of Royal Enfield's cruiser series in Nepal.

The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 cruiser motorcycle was unveiled by Royal Enfield as a replacement for the Thunderbird 350 worldwide.

It makes use of a twin-cradle frame along with a more powerful engine and new connected technologies and features alongside.

The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 gets its origins from the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 700 that was constructed in the 1950s and was available till the 1960s in the UK (United Kingdom) market as well. 

Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Engine

The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 has a newly built twin-cradle frame for its underpinnings while getting a powerful and brand new single-cylinder SOHC four-stroke 349 cc engine that churns out 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm at 6,100 rpm and 4,000 rpm respectively. The new engine is a replacement for the conventional push-rod design seen in the case of older engines from Royal Enfield with a primary balance shaft, overhead camshaft, and more refinement.

The engine is mated to a new 5-speed transmission system that offers easier shifts in comparison to older models. The bike comes with 183 Kg of kerb weight that is lighter than the Thunderbird 350 while getting a longer wheelbase which ensures greater stability at the same time. The motorcycle also includes a triple pad developed in partnership with Google for turn-to-turn navigation and a USB charging port for mobile phone charging.

The new Royal Enfield Meteor 350 comes with 41 mm front telescopic forks and 130 mm of travel along with twin-tube shock absorbers with 6-step preload adjustability at the rear. There is a 300 mm disc in front with twin-piston floating calipers along with a 270 mm rear wheel disc with a single-piston caliper.

Eicher Motor-owned Royal Enfield is the leader in the 350cc and above bike segment in India with brands such as Classic, Himalayan and Interceptor. The company is the first from its industry to share plans about electric motorcycles.

Royal Enfield has developed prototypes of electric bikes and formed an internal team to not just develop products but to choose the right segment for entering the electric motorcycle space, a top company official said.

Royal Enfield’s CEO Vinod Dasari explained how the development of a Royal Enfield electric motorcycle has actually already begun with prototypes currently in development:

“It is not about whether electric will come or not, but it’s a question of when. We did make some prototypes, we have looked at several segments, and we will be adding to the team in the near future.”

Last year, the electric two-wheeler market saw a jump of 20 per cent in volumes to 152,000 units compared to FY19. This was heavily dominated by cheaper and low-powered electric scooters.

Other bikes makers such as Bajaj Auto, TVS Motor Company, Hero MotoCorp, Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha have been working on electric scooters for the Indian market.

Some start-ups such Ultraviolette, Tork Motors, Ather Energy, Revolt Intellicorp and Okinawa have either launched or are in advanced stages of launching an electric motorcycle.
