The new 349cc air and oil-cooled single-cylinder engine produces 20.2hp at 6100rpm and 27Nm of maximum torque at 4000rpm.
The Meteor 350’s new 350cc Single Overhead Camshaft (SOHC) engine is the fourth generation 350cc engine introduced by Royal Enfield since the brand started manufacturing motorcycles in India. In addition to replacing the cam gears of the outgoing UCE 350 engine with a timing shaft and SOHC system, the primary chain drive has been replaced with a primary gear drive, and there is a primary balance shaft that reduces vibrations on the engine. After North America, the Meteor 350 is expected to debut in other markets in the Americas, such as Brazil.

With just over 20 hp of power and a top speed of around 120 km / h from the single-cylinder engine, the Meteor 350 may not have the speed or performance of a typical American cruiser. But it’ll have just about enough horsepower for the occasional highway race, if that’s where it’ll be spending time. More than pure performance and targeting experienced motorcyclists, Royal Enfield appears to be looking for newer and younger American motorcyclists with the Meteor 350. The Meteor 350, Royal Enfield hopes to capitalize on a demographics that have long eluded the mark of 100% American cruiser motorcycles par excellence, Harley-Davidson, to that of the baby boomers or to the young generation of American motorcyclists.
