Siddhartha Lal, Managing Director, Eicher Motors said, “The Meteor 350 is a supremely refined, easy and accessible cruiser. It is a charming combination of classic cruiser styling with modern capability. We wanted to build a motorcycle that could ensure a great cruising experience for new, as well as experienced riders. The Meteor 350 is just perfect for that. It is easy, very comfortable with excellent ergonomics, and absolutely enjoyable for long-distance riding and highway cruising, while being great within the city as well. The motorcycle’s poise, its agile handling, and up-rated braking result in an unmatched ride experience. The Meteor also comes with Royal Enfield Tripper, a convenient turn-by-turn navigation pod that connects to the Royal Enfield App. We have invested a lot of time and effort in making the navigation simple and sharply intuitive with native Google Maps integration. In a clear manner, it gives the rider all the information needed to make the right decision on the road. It is un-intrusive and does not clutter the rider with too many distractions. It is by far the best two-wheeler navigation support. All-in-all, the Meteor 350 is a well-rounded, super-refined motorcycle and we are confident that it will bring the golden age of cruising on Indian roads”
Bookings are open on the Royal Enfield website as well as dealerships from today. The all-new Meteor 350 will compete with Honda H’ness CB350.
