The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 is built on the company’s new J platform. So, it gets a new engine, as well as new chassis. The new 349 cc single-cylinder, air and oil-cooled engine makes 20.2 bhp at 6,100 rpm and 27 Nm of peak torque at 4,000 rpm. The new RE Meteor 350 is 6 kg lighter than the Thunderbird 350 it replaces, and tips the scales with 191 kg kerb weight. The weight saving is apparent from a straight 5 kg reduction in the fuel tank capacity, apart from the use of more plastic body components.
