6 things to know before buying the Royal Enfield meteor 350

What works — why Meteor 350 appeals

1. Comfort & easy cruising

The Meteor 350's riding posture is very relaxed (low seat height, hanging like a Hubble Siddhant), which makes it comfortable for long journeys or commutes without being too high-pitche

2. Modern features & useful amenities

The bike features a distinctive digi-analog instrument cluster, a navigation-ready "tripper" pod, USB-C charging port, LED blinkers — all adding to the "old school cruiser" fee

3. Good value for money (for a cruiser 350cc)

Adding to its comfort features, and usable engine, the Meteor 350 offers a versatile package in addition to a large footprint.

 4. Smooth, torquey engine & stableh Highway ride


The 349cc engine delivers usable mid-range torque, and helps you cruise comfortably on the highway (around 80-100 km/h) without frequent gear changes. It feels stable and reliable on long journeys.

6. Pillion comfort, suspension & practicality trade-offs

Also, at night - stock headlight & indicators might feel basic compared to modern bikes.

Prefer a comfortable, relaxed ride over speed or aggressive performance.

Enjoy modern conveniences (navigation, USB charging) and a classic cruiser feel.

Maybe consider again if you:

Ride with a rear passenger on increasingly rough roads - suspension/pillion comfort can be disappointing.

Expect sharp acceleration, sporty performance or a top-speed riding experience.

Frequently have to pass heavy traffic or need to help with easy
