2026 Royal Enfield Classic 350

Timeless by Design. Modern Where It Matters.

Few motorcycles capture the essence of classic motorcycling quite like the 2026 Royal Enfield Classic 350.

Inspired by Royal Enfield's post-war motorcycles and instantly recognisable by its signature headlamp nacelle, teardrop fuel tank, sweeping mudguards and upright stance, the Classic 350 brings genuine heritage into a thoroughly modern motorcycle.

At its heart is Royal Enfield's proven 349cc J-Series single-cylinder engine, delivering a smooth 14.87kW and 27Nm of torque with the relaxed, torque-rich character that has become synonymous with the brand. A balancer shaft helps keep unwanted vibrations in check, while electronic fuel injection, a refined chassis and comfortable ergonomics make the Classic equally enjoyable through town or out on an unhurried weekend ride.

Add modern touches including LED lighting, dual-channel ABS, a gear-position indicator and USB charging, and you have a motorcycle that delivers the charm of another era without demanding that you live in it.

Gun Grey: R95,500
