KATHMANDU, APRIL 18: Royal Enfield has launched five new variants of its iconic Classic 350 motorcycle in Nepal. It did so by holding an event in the capital today. Assembled locally at the brand’s CKD (Completely Knocked Down) facility in Birgunj, the newly launched models combine heritage with modern design and engineering upgrades, it is said.

Their prices range from NPR 555,000 to NPR 579,900.

Even the entry-level variant comes equipped with premium features such as dual-channel ABS, a full LED headlamp with pilot lamp, a Type-C USB charger, and a gear position indicator. From now on, all Classic 350 variants in Nepal will come with ABS as standard.

The new Classic 350 is offered in seven colours and five distinct variants: Heritage, Heritage Premium, Signals, Classic Dark, and Classic Chrome.
