Royal Enfield has launched a new variant of the Meteor 350. Called the Meteor 350 Sundowner Orange, it is priced at ₹2.19 Lakh. This is a ₹3,000 premium over the Meteor 350 Supernova, the current top-spec variant in the range.
The Meteor 350 Sundowner Orange gets a unique orange colour for the paint, and a badge on the tank commemorating the Meteor 350’s five lakh sales landmark. It gets the touring windscreen, passenger backrest and tripper navigation pod that are available with the Supernova, but adds the more comfortable touring seat as well. A first for the Meteor 350 series is the addition of tubeless aluminium wheels rims, with a spoke design that we haven’t seen on any motorcycle other than the Suzuki V-Strom 650XT – the V-Strom 800DE doesn’t have tubeless rims.
The combination of features makes the Meteor 350 Sundowner Orange the only product of its kind in its price bracket. The Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 also offers a windscreen and passenger backrest, but is in a different price category.
