The government’s recent GST slab revision has spelt good news for most automotive segments, particularly the sub-350cc two-wheeler class. While Royal Enfield’s lineup currently comprises 14 models – 9 of them above this threshold – its bread and butter in India is its 350cc range, comprising the popular Classic and Hunter models, among others.
- Royal Enfield 350 lineup has 5 models
- Prices start at Rs 1.50 lakh for Hunter 350, most affordable RE
- Goan Classic, at Rs 2.40 lakh, is most expensive 350cc RE
Royal Enfield Classic and Hunter will see a price drop soon
Prices of RE 350s will come down by up to Rs 22,000
The 350cc lineup makes up the lion’s share of Royal Enfield’s monthly sales tally consistently and now all of them are set to become more affordable. The company has announced that it will be revising the prices of all five of its 349cc J-platform models come September 22. The maximum reduction in price is set to be Rs 22,000 says the company, although the exact model-wise split is yet unclear.
Royal Enfield’s 350cc range starts with the Hunter 350 at Rs 1.50 lakh at the bottom end and the most expensive 350 is the Goan Classic, priced at Rs 2.40 lakh – a delta spanning Rs 90,000 on the ex-showroom prices. While Royal Enfield claims that prices will drop by up to Rs 22,000 that is likely to be the case for models like the top Classic 350 and the Goan Classic, whereas affordable ones like the Hunter and Bullet will see a smaller quantum of reduction.
While this is certainly good news for people looking to buy a 350cc Royal Enfield, the 450cc and 650cc models are soon going to become more expensive. The exact price hike is yet unclear but you can expect an approximate increase of Rs 20,000 or so depending on the model.
