In addition to that, the bike boasts a 300mm disc brake with twin-piston floating caliper in the front and a 270mm disc brake with a single-piston floating caliper in the rear. The Royal Enfield Classic 350 is equipped with a dual-channel anti-lock braking system (ABS).

While the recently launched iteration of the Classic 350 is equipped with features that make it easier for the rider, it would not be a great choice for the beginner owing to the heavy kerb weight of the bike. More than that, the bike’s dimensions of 2145mm in length, 785mm (without mirrors) in width and 1090mm (without mirrors) in height would make it a little difficult for a beginner to handle.
