Perhaps the most significant mechanical change is the addition of a slipper clutch, which has been long overdue. Apart from these upgrades, the Meteor 350 gets the same 349cc, single-cylinder engine producing 20.2 hp and 27 Nm, paired with a five-speed gearbox. The chassis, suspension, and braking setup remain unchanged.
The Fireball and Stellar variants now get LED headlamps and the Tripper navigation pod as
