The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 has been launched in India today. The Meteor 350 is the first new Royal Enfield bike after the Interceptor 650 and the Continental GT 650 which were launched in 2018. The Meteor 350 is the first bike to be based on the new J-platform and features an all-new engine and chassis. The Meteor 350 is offered in three variants - Fireball (Rs 1.75 lakh), Stellar (Rs 1.82 lakh) and the Supernova (Rs 1.91 lakh). The RE Meteor 350 rivals the Jawa Perak, Bajaj Dominar 400 and the new Honda H’ness CB 350.
The Meteor 350 is the replacement for the Thunderbird 350X and is the only Royal Enfield cruiser bike on sale currently. The Meteor 350 also features a new Bluetooth navigation system called Tripper. Powering the Meteor 350 is an all-new 350cc, SOHC, long-stroke and fuel-injected motor producing 20.2PS and 27Nm. And just like the RE Classic 350, it features a 5-speed gearbox.
Aside from the new power plant, the Meteor 350 also debuts a new double-cradle frame. Suspension hardware includes a telescopic front fork and twin rear shock absorbers (no sophisticated gas-charged units as seen on the Thunderbird 350X). Stopping power is courtesy disc brakes on either ends and a dual-channel ABS will be offered as standard.

Every RUclipsrs are busy in sharing leak images of meteor 350 and this zigwheel directly uploads review video.... zigwheel rocks😎🤙
Hi
A very snappy, impressive around town, short trip cruiser. They should sell a lot of these. An instant classic - I hope it comes to Australia.
Royal Enfield - Here's new Meteor
Random Girl - My boyfriend has the same bike (pointing at the Thunderbird 350x) 😂😂
Ok Boomer
@@sisir37 yeah right people who disagree with you are boomers , ok that makes sense
Bhai bhai
Le uncle standing next to girl : mine looks same too *points towards avenger *
Lol
Everything I wanted to know about this bike. Beautiful presentation. Subscribed. Oh, and thanks for doing it in English:)
Are u from outside India?
@@zainabkhan2475 yes. From Australia. I rode a Himalayan in Bhutan. Loved it. I want to buy the Meteor when it comes out as a 650 (hopefully soon). Bikes in Australia need to cruise comfortably at 110km per hour because of the freeways. I think the meteor 350 likes 90km per hour as a comfortable speed. Do you think the meteor 650 will come out soon? And do you think it won't be straining at 110km per hour?
@@Jaike57 oh wow...! that's great. so happy that you're taking reviews from us Indian. By the way, a huge proportion of Indian youth is becoming motorcycle maniac, keep watching... ❤️❤️❤️🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
@@zainabkhan2475 you should take pride in your knowledge. Your videos are great.
@@Jaike57 Try the Continental GT
2:00 I couldn't believe when you said you're 5'6". I was so much happy to know because I adored the model so much but was skeptical because of height issues. Thank you for the review. ✌🏻
When you said you're 5'6 as me, that made all the seconds of the video worth more.
Confession - it’s the first time I’m watching your review and I’m quite a comprehensive viewer so I didn’t know quite what to expect BUT you rock !!! You’ve got your own style , humour and ofcourse tonnes of knowledge. 🙌
The most personifying analysis and walkthrough. Kudos to the anchor and ofcourse to the mighty machine as well 👍🏻
Very nice analysis and review! Looking forward to put my eyes on the new Meteor 350 in person, here in Brazil.
The anchor is doing a very good job! Watching the video is like speaking with him and well he answered all the questions; I had in mind. Well done! Kudos!
Awesome review! Great Work! We are looking forward to here in Brazil. Congratulations on the excellent job analyzing this bike.
Hey, this review is a bomb, at least for me. I got the same old rush which I used to get from powerdrift videos (which sadly is not there in them nowadays). Kartikeya, and the whole zigwheels team,, Hats Off for this wonderful review.
Royalenfield is hearing out its fan base and improving on important bits😁 way to go RE, we are with you!
Only coming for Cinematography 🙏 op cinematography by zig 👍🙏🙏🙏
Super glad to hear that ..🙏
@@SirKart thanks 🙏😉
Best meteor review on RUclips this. Focused more on the practical usage which day to day users need more. Great job.
Thanks bro! Please do share with your riding buddies! Would mean a lot to us!
Among all the reviews ive heard, yours is the best..its the dramatic intonation that makes it so interesting
RE has definately made improvement compared to its previous 350 cc engine and I appreciate their efforts... Finally we get a less vibration engine and quality has been improved to survive the market!
But when compared to Honda CB350, an unexpected competitor for RE, RE has to work a lot hard on refinement and performance! ✌️✌️✌️
Vibration is the main feature of RE bikes 🏍, they can't minimise that
@@kamleshkumaryadav1274 Hahaha... True... But to survive the market they have to keep continuously working on betterment and liking of the customer... If anyone who doesn't prefer thump, have many options such as Dominar, KTM, jawa, imperiale, Apache 310 n so on...
Cult fan following of RE is 30+ age group who had already have a RE bikes 🏍. Now RE have to designed their as per their future customers 18+ age group, the current teenager likes bikes 🏍 with retro look with all modern features. But RE right now is focusing on their profit maximising not giving basic features to bikes 🏍. It's 2020 still RE bullet standard doesn't have a fuel gauge while In BS6 model their no fuel nob so that we can adjust petrol from main to reverse. The low fuel ⛽ indicator also doesn't works properly. Meteor 350 has some modern day features likes bluetooth connectivity and navigation system, but it's still misses the refinement, slipper clutch. RE is not company that provide good electrical /electronics so fingers crossed 🤞 for THAT. RE is now behaving like Nokia behaves once upon a time that no one take their market what happened to Nokia everyone knows. These days bikes have superb refinement like jawa, Honda h'ness, benelli but RE is ignoring it and just doing cosmetic upgrades rather than focusing on further development
@@kamleshkumaryadav1274 Totally agree... The old cast iron bullets are something to be preserved and those are historical motorcycles...
Wht RE had done in recent years is made a new UCE engine which practically is a crap and survived for years since 2008 if I m not wrong and enjoyed the monopoly using thump and its signature design of classic model...
RE 650s are excellent... Awesome machine... would not comment on that... they are worth price wht they offer ✌️
@@annulimummicho2773 Himalayan and 650 twins are best products of RE
Came here to see the launch and here I am watching the review! 💯 Zig wheels.
😂yeah
Comprises of full 17 mins of comprehensive details regarding the new Meteor. I felt like as if I already have taken the test ride. So much efforts for us. Thank you so much. ❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
greatings from the netherlands!
i just want to say, i like the plastic fenders they dont rust !
in a wet country
ant great werk nice revieuw i enioy it very much
Zigwheel Surprised me...!!!
For Kartikeya sir
nothing more exciting than reviewing a new RE's motorcycle
🙏 😄
Sir! Awesome to see you! Car or bike.. fun must be had!
A wonderful and to the point review. Just loved the way it was reviewed. Can we expect a 500cc version of this bike any time soon?
Very well organized speech and detailed delivery of answers to all our questions. Background effects and music is a plus. Finally the thump... OMG. you started with it.
The camera-work and editing on this video is cinematic. What a joy to watch!
6:12 my eyes caught on that shoes 🔥
This is a great review! I'd love to see the Meteor in Royal Enfield showrooms here in the US!
great review!earned a sub!!! camera and editing and soundtrack guy need kudos!!!
Great Job. I like your video. Wait for this bike in my country. Royal enfield fan. Hello from France.
Great review.. Meteor is way better than what was expected from RE and it would be difficult to choose one between this and Highness 350.
Honda Launches CB350.
Le every big review channel: act like it didn't happened.
Because they didnt get test ride
Because big channels gets paid by few brands, they have yearly tie ups.
Right now big channels are being paid by Royal Enfield .
It's all money game .
Most of them are not.
yup lobbying by other bike brands (read RE)
Cuz RE created that hype between bike enthusiasts.. honda just launched.. bhai jo dikhega wo bikega. RE's testing videos got out, they created a positive image in buyers mind before the launch that new tech is coming to their new launch meteor. Yamaha just launched, no hype, no talk point among bike lovers.. that's why buyers are going for RE's meteor not h'ness.. I'm also going for METEOR FIREBALL RED🔥🔥
Watched almost all review since morning. I have to say this is the best. Great Job.
This video is like a visual treat to me. Very good camera work and superb background score.. location is very good.
Apart from lengthy video and repeated shots everything looks nice. Thanks
The cinematography is OP🔥, very well presented.
I had stopped watching desi automotive reviews from last couple of years. But sometimes I comeback to watch some of Kartikeya's reviews. Kudos to you mister for keeping the reviews detailed and simple. This was one of the best review which makes me to test drive one, but I still have concerns as the chai test was satisfactory. *(You could've used generic transparent glass cup)*
Hi from New Zealand mate...just subscribed..seriously entertaining and informative review of a bike I'm looking at. And I love reviews of RE made in India! Take care. Ride safe and ride on guys.
4:08 my phone speakers vibrates more that that engine i think!.
Dip it in motul 300 v
Sounds more like an advertisement rather than a review.
Excellent presentation!!!!
Although a little more of cons and also comparos with competitors wud have been more satisfying.
Still a 5 star rating for the anchor's detailed review... thank you!
this is a good review. perfectly presented. definitely going to bring a new type of RE riders.
exactly felt what you have said when i test drove the bike... and i just booked it immediately...... starting from head light to tail light,seat to tyres everything has improved and i dont know what not to like in this bike !!!!!! Worth the wait it believe
Vaazthukal 🥰
@@jeevamyilsami8523 Nadrigal !!
Nice, now that is a proper update for a product...good job, great review.
Did I see some specks of rust at the exhaust tip 10:13 ??
Nope. I slowed down and watched it. It's a reflection of something on the road looking as if the coating came off in the silencer in one tiny spot. It's just a reflection of something on the road
Excellent video! Well presented, great camera shots and very informative.
When I first saw this motorcycle it immediately reminded me of the Harley Davidson Sportster which is great, because I've always liked the styling of the Sportster but don't want to own a Harley so this bike has become very interesting all of a sudden!
I watched almost all top automobile channel reviews today, but this is the most comprehensive and satisfying review.
This review just took me away to Nevada deserts and felt like an Indian on a Harley cruising around. This would look badass in a blacked out theme.
There's a matte black version available in stellar variant
There's a black version and black exhaust option as well. Cheers! 😄
3:47 - Chai Cup Test 😇😂
13:00 - Nice Switch Feature 😋
13:40 - Ofcourse Fireball Red/Yellow 😍😉
14:08 - Material like Plastic 😁
Lol
The cinematography, the camera work are just awesome in your video...the review is obviously helpful. 🙌👏
Great detailed explanation, I particularly like the anchor explained with little bit humour. Awesome video
My man. I love this guy. So genuine yet so classy!
2017: I needed a "Smooth Engine" and some Pure "Torque" my only option then was the FZ25
2020: For the same above Parameters we now have the new Dominar, the new FZ25, CB 350, the Jawas and finally the Meteor 350
Hope the RE guys have dealt with their Quality Issues as well
Nope. They are all very very different bikes and there is nothing out there like the fz25. Although I get what your saying..we have a lot of variety nowadays for a given price.
@@pranavp386 Ofcourse they're all totally different bikes.
The only things they have in common are
1, smooth engine and
2, excellent mid-range Torque
That was the point....🙂🙂🙂
@@arunelam Depends on what you mean by midrange...the redline RPM on the RE and the Honda is the mid RPM of all the other bikes.
The Java and the Dominar has to be revved much higher to build power and torque.
The dominar does have the "torque dip" at around 4k if I remember correctly.
The FZ has excellent midrange as you said.
Smoothness... haven't ridden the newer Dominar so can't say.. but I guess they are all smooth.
@@pranavp386 drive the new dominar
You'll be surprised by it's smoothness and performance wrt the older version, and there's no Torque dip either.
In fact you can feel the Torque from even lower rpms
@@arunelam Never go with bajaj they use cheap quality.
Nice well balanced presentation- Kartikeya . Thump is back - great
its now 26 10 2021 ordered one last week in brown colour,super nova. best wishes from the uk.
The best part of your reviews,that guess the questions coming in beforehand..and answer them all in one go...and love the subtle humor n sarcasm here n there...good job Zigwheels...
Super thrilled to know it works for you! 🙏
Karthikeya ...Review...meteor... perfect ❤️🔥
Sir! 🙏🙏
Great video content
You hv shown it very beautifully
Best camera work and your voice too
At 0.05 you won the heart. What start with exhaust note.. superb 💥💥👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏼
After watching this I realized powerdrift doesn't really answer so many questions
So true, their review felt so short not in terms of time but info.
Always!. Zigwheels gives more info. Power drift gives more of visuals
@@jacksonjacob6917 true
Well well.. this is enormous improvement considering all the numbers compared to my tbts 2008.. you just made me to wait for my upgrade for meteor 650 considering that the 350 looks to be quite a Marvel.. RE has just nailed it on the cruiser seg once again.
Nice review man n the Zig team.. rightly said about the areas where RE should ve improved.. anyhow loved this edition n it's more appealing when compared to other competitors..
Great Video. Love the bike and your presentation of the bike. Cheers from Canada.
Meteor is f'king like Bajaj Avenger!! Even the logo of RE looks like Avenger!!!🤦🤦 Only the thump differentiates it!!
Glad this thing has ABS and at least stops when we hit breaks, and you don't need to roll on rod when you hit breaks on AVENGER
no offense I own AVENGER 220 CRUISE
lets reserve our judgement till we actually ride meteor. especially if you have already rode an avenger
@@tejeswarareddykota5105 I almost dropped my friend's brand new Avenger when I test drove the front brake locked just too easy
@@jbasumatary7861 hahaha
Welcome to the TRIBE of ROAD HUGGERS.
"HOPE YOU FELT LIKE GOD"
Bro...look the bike closely...you can see this bike is more bulky than avenger...look is fabulous
The new CEO of RE is nailing it👍 Glad to see modern touch and lot of improvements in the engine.
New? Sidharth lal is ceo from 2000 😎😀
@@lalit3124 New CEO is Vinod Dasari. Siddharth Lal is no more the CEO of Royal Enfield; he's the MD of Eicher Motors, which owns the RE brand.
Best review about Meteor. Thanks so much and best regards from Switzerland :-)
Hello Brother! Just loved the way you spoke and presented the review. Awesome bike . thanks for the brief and straight to the point review.
The real feel of RE is not in its refinement.
How come no one ever mentioned it?
Features, yes please🙏but refinement, no kick.... No RE feel
Vijay Jayaram couldn't agree more..I have 2017 Classic n friends crave to ride it on highways...n those guys have new refined REs
@@adityaraj3203 very soon, the will be a Bullet without a kick in it🙄
Cnt image that 😭😭😭
Yep, they should have given the kick with it.
The new classic 350 and hunter 350 will also be w/o kick .. enjoy!!
This engine, as much as I love my old 500, is what RE should have introduced back when the single cylinder engine for 350 and 500 was changed in 2009/2010.
The plastic filler cap.... cue aftermarket steel one!
The Google maps on the old school round dial is a nice touch.
Your video is amazing. Very informative. Fun storytelling.
Keep going
from Thailand.
Wonderful cinematography,,,,loved the video.
3:47 "The industry standard and globally accepted #chaicuptest " 😂 nice to see a trend started by you going crazy
Viewers to Host: where do you see yourself in next 5 years.
Host: Doing RE keynotes and product launches.
Bottomline, video is made interesting more than the bike features.
I just can't win... 😭
@@SirKart No Karthik, it was awesome. Honestly, a very crisp yet detailed presentation. I loved it, super liked & subscribed as well. Please keep rocking, from your fan!
Thanks for the review. Do you know if the foot pegs are now hinged? Or still solid? Thanks
The way they make videos is appreciable.....good work
Hopefully they do a 6500cc and sell It in Europe. I'd be like the: "Shut up and take my money" meme!
BTW: very good review, props!
6500cc! How fast do you want to go? 650 twin would be great in this chassis and the Himalayan.
@@FATBOY692011 my second bike (back in 1993...) was a 350cc, an excellent dual sport made by Cagiva, but I needed more power. Gor a 650cc in 1995...man, I still ride it nowadays! 600-650, 40-50bhp it's all you really need!
Meteor means “Modified Thunderbird” 😂
With a new chassis and engine!!!! ?????
You are one stupid guy aren’t you??!!
Smoother than Thunderbird ......
@@anoopkl4u new engine with 0.4 more horses? Joke's on you idiot!
He is that random girl
@@anoopkl4u sethyam frende
Pls include RVM clarity test to show the vibes level @cruising speed ... thanks for the nice review u have covered all the aspects I wanted to know
Loved ur presentation nd camera work... Cheers bro
Simply Loved the way, this entire review was presented...
Excellent Review!
Thank you for the encouragement sir! 🙏 Are you thinking of getting this bike?
@@SirKart Yes. Well atleast, after this review, definitely considering upgrading from Bullet 350 to Meteor 350.
Bajaj could never ever put such soul in their products. Avenger series is good, but leaves a lot of potential unfulfilled.
Agreed
@@nawinwe Bajaj should plonk the 250cc engine of the Dominar (with taller, retuned gear ratios of course) and maybe not brand it Avenger. An all-new family of cruisers should be launched by them.
@@nawinwe The ProBiking dealerships should be expanded when the JV with Triumph comes to fruition. And yes, they should focus on the servicing across their showrooms, and also must reduce the spare parts' price.
But I think they would not be able to maintain the 3rd position, behind Hero and Honda, because TVS with their mighty quality products is breathing down their neck.
You guys have great standards of video production. In fact, your videos are more attractive compared to automobile companies' videos 👍👍
Oh Man.... excellent review....max things covered... camera nd cuts are too gud...keep going team🔥✌️✨
when honda h’ness 350 review is coming???
We are just as upset as you! Honda hasn't shared test bikes. Forget Hness, we still haven't got the Hornet!
Not paid...awaiting payment 😂😂😂😜
@@SirKart when honda acts like modi
this tempts me to exchange my 2013 Electra with this
I already did last week😊
Wonderful explanation and outstanding Cinimatic shoot... Loved it❤
Great review. Agreed with your point of more performance. A 4 valve set up would have been nice.
Is it only me who thinks this smells like a paid review..
well unfortunately you're using wrong senses in wrong places..!
@@omkarkhamkar9388 sometimes we need to use the wrong senses in the wrong place to sense the wrong thing and show it to wrong people i guess...
Test ride it dude and get a life!!...then only u can identify.
Watch the video by Ryan at Fortnine regarding constraints of Bike reviewers.
@@omkarkhamkar9388 thanks bro for having faith. 🙏
Everybody is Gansta , until royal Enfield breaks down 😂
nice joke
😂😂😂then he will be sweatster😂😂
Where did you guys shoot this video? I need to go here. What a wonderful scenery in the background!😍
Hi Sir, this one is awesome, presenting in a dramatic way. I hope that RE had noticed your price range tag.
Now if my friends argue: 'Ham toh loha chalate hai, tum plastic hi chalate rehna'
I'll show them this video 😉.
This proves that Enfield and zig wheel has a paid tie up, as zig wheel did not produce any content on HONDA CB 350
They didnt get a bike for review.
Great review, well detailed, ...now time for TVS to launch the Zeppelin, they must!
congratulation kartikeya sir for ur new Japanese falcon .....hope to see more of those track day shorts
14:03
I just liked your way of telling the "modern materials" ummm hhhhh plastic
😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏
😅
Who thinking 🤔 about how to customise the 🏍 bike 😂
Me that handle bar,😂
Spoke Wheels
Backlight
Led Headlight
Wind Shield
Check MIY intiative by Royal Enfield
Very informative good video. Please tell me how appropriate this bike would be for a 5'6" man in city traffic.
My most watched review of anything...hatts off!
The only reason RE puts its every strength & sweat in this machine is becoz of Honda CB 350. They dont have a bike in that segment to match Honda (engine & refinement).
Still dont understand why major review channels like this avoiding it.
When is "YOUR H'NESS IS ARRIVING" @ ZIGWHEELS!
Honda is keeping us waiting.. actually bleeding us...
@@SirKart ofcourse Honda is Honda where it doesn't need a MARKETING. By the way GREAT REVIEW as expected.
Honda didn't pay enough
@@SirKart sir can you please review honda h'ness cb350. I'm watching only when you review it.
@@SirKart Abhinav Bhatt has done it already.
You are crazy man...your style of presentation makes us crazier too
Thx a lot bro, very good review bas on practise in daily day and touring. Subscribed On!
i am huge fan RE-Meteor 350 from Indonesia, thx too for review in english. Gracias!
Hii , do the supernova model comes with trip navigator inbuilt or do you need to buy it as an extra accessories, please reply.
