Motorcycle specifications Royal-EnfieldMeteor 350 Supernova 2023 Neighborhood cruising

The Meteor 350 may be one of the smallest cruisers on the market, but that doesn't stop it from presenting the same facets as the big boys. With a minimalist abundance of equipment, which Royal-Enfield presents as levels of finish.

with the Supernova, we're in the most upscale of Meteor presentations. Only with this version can you get two-tone colors and a slightly more advanced finish on the rims. A touch of luxury that goes hand in hand with comfort. In fact, you'll ride better equipped on this version: a sissy-bar and a touring bubble will be your touring buddies.

but beware: better equipped doesn't mean faster. The Meteor is made for cruising around, not for cutting bollards. Its modest single-cylinder engine will only be at home with its nose to the wind and the scent of relaxation. Its 20 horsepower have a certain charm and are enough for everyday use - not to agitate the tachometer.

after all, the Meteor 350 Supernova's target market is anyone who wants a retro-style bike that's reasonably priced, doesn't care about performance and is easy to live with. A three-and-a-half-bike that costs less than a KTM 125 Duke doesn't come along that often.

when you look at this engine, your first impression is of a mechanic from another time, a long time ago. Yet it looks young. And it is. This is the Indian firm's latest block, designed to satisfy the essential needs of motorcyclists in a whole host of countries.
The chassis is a classic double-cradle tubular steel frame, with one brake disc per wheel, a 41 mm fork and a set of two shock absorbers.

nothing extravagant, just a simple bike with an endearing design, a discreet dose of seduction and the scent of Asia's doorstep. I'm not talking about a chinoiserie or a firecracker made in an inflatable hammer factory... but a machine with more composed considerations. The Meteor is also equipped with a simplified navigation module called "Tripper" and a USB socket. Retro but not old-fashioned.
