Technical Features: Slipper clutch and USB port included
In terms of engine and power, this bike offers the same experience as the standard Classic 350, but it has been given two major updates to make everyday riding easier:
- Assist and Slipper Clutch: Makes gear shifting very light and smooth, especially in bumper-to-bumper traffic without any fatigue to the rider.
- Type-C USB port: Now riders can directly charge their smartphones or navigation devices while on the move.
- Engine Performance: It gets the same refined 349cc single-cylinder J-Series air/oil-cooled engine. This engine produces 20.2 PS of power at 6,100 rpm and 27 Nm of peak torque at 4,000 rpm, mated to a 5-speed gearbox.
- Mileage: The company claims that this bike gives a mileage of 35 to 40 kmpl in real-world driving conditions.
