The Meteor 350 is built on Royal Enfield’s J-series platform and is powered by a 349cc air-cooled engine. Its low seat height, forward-set foot pegs and upright handlebar make it a comfortable motorcycle for longer hours in the saddle. This RE will appeal to riders who want an easy-to-live-with motorcycle rather than an aggressive one. Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions about it.

What engine does the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 use, and what are the power figures?

The bike uses a 349.34cc single-cylinder engine producing 20hp at 6,100rpm and a peak torque of 27Nm at 4,000rpm, paired with a 5-speed gearbox. Also, a slip-and-assist clutch is standard now.

What is the fuel tank capacity, kerb weight and seat height of the Royal Enfield Meteor 350?

The bike has a fuel tank capacity of 15 litres and a kerb weight of 191kg. The seat height stands at an accessible 765mm.

How many variants of the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 are available?

The Meteor 350 is available in four variants, namely Fireball, Stellar, Aurora and Supernova, with the main difference being colour schemes. The first three are available in two options each: the Fireball in Grey and Orange, the Stellar in Matt Grey and Marine Blue, and the Aurora in Red and Retro Green. The Supernova comes only in Black. A new limited-edition Sundowner Orange variant of the motorcycle was also launched at Motoverse 2025, and the main highlight of this variant was tubeless spoked wheels.

What are the differences between the variants of the Meteor 350?

The Fireball is offered in single-tone colour schemes, rides on alloy wheels and gets a blacked-out engine and exhaust. The Stellar variant also gets single-tone colour schemes along with the side panels and rear fender in matching paint. The Aurora and Supernova variants get dual-tone colour schemes, along with chrome-finished engine and exhaust. For a proper retro look, the Aurora variant rides on spoked wheels, and for practicality, the Supernova gets machined alloy wheels.
