Royal Enfield Classic 250: A Low-key Power-Packed Budget Cruiser Bike for the Youth
Royal Enfield bikes in India have always been a rage, especially among the youth. A Bullet is still regarded as a model for style, power, and prestige. However, the price hikes are a cause of concern for many youths. For all those people, Royal Enfield is now providing a new option—the Royal Enfield Classic 250, which will be launched at a lower price with a powerful engine and classic looks.
Design and Look: Strong Bullet-like Identity
The new Royal Enfield Classic 250 will have an appearance quite similar to the current Classic 350. This bike is mainly designed for youngsters. The round headlamp, muscular body, thick tires, and alloy wheels give it an attractive ‘bullet’ appeal from every angle. The design maintains the traditional cruiser identity of Royal Enfield while including a modern touch.
Features: Modern Technology Incorporated
This new Classic 250 not only looks modern but also features modern features. The bike will have an LED headlight and indicators along with a digital meter clustered with an analog speedometer.
To keep it safe, this bike will be equipped with front and rear disc brakes as well as an option for ABS (Anti-lock Braking System). The features not only secure the ride but also add to stability and confidence throughout a long journey.
Engine and Performance
The Royal Enfield Classic 250 will be powered by its 249 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. This engine would give an output of about 18 PS of power and a torque of 20 Nm.
It will be combined with a lightweight 5-speed gearbox to deliver smooth riding. In terms of mileage, this bike can do about 35-40 km/l, which is really helpful in daily commuting.
The Right Bike for Young Riders
This bike is meant for those riders who want the identity and power of Royal Enfield, but cannot really think of affording a Classic or Bullet 350 due to the price difference. The classic styling of this bike revolves around a 250cc engine for both city and highway riding.
The weight and balance will give it great handling, providing all the features of comfort even for new riders. This is a perfect way for the younger crowd to express style coupled with performance.
Expected Price and Launch Date
Royal Enfield is yet to announce an official date for launching the bike but reports suggest that it will launch the bike in the Indian market in the near future, that is, by the end of the year.
Pricing: This Royal Enfield Classic 250 would cost around ₹1.60 lakh to ₹1.80 lakh (ex-showroom). In this price segment, it would compete against various such other cruiser bikes in its segment.
Market Competition
It would come up against several machines such as Honda H’ness CB350, Yezdi Roadster, and Jawa 42. But it could outdo all of them when compared with respect to pricing and mileage.
This bike would be a super hit just because of the name Royal Enfield and its classic design.
Conclusion
Royal Enfield Classic 250 is a boon for the youth who wants Bullet-like identity but is willing to stretch a little, but not too much. With its powerful engine, classic design, modern features, and trusted brand name, it could very well become one of the year’s most classic cruiser motorcycles.
Well, if you want to experience the “Royal Ride” and purchase a flashily styled yet sturdy bike within your budget, the Royal Enfield Classic 250 could be the right choice.
