THE NEW METEOR HITS BRITAIN

-

THE NEW Royal Enfield Meteor 350 is arriving at British dealers this this month. The Meteor is a cruiser-styled single and comes in three different models, starting at £3,749 otr for the baseline Fireball. The all-new machine has a 20bhp SOHC engine featuring oil/air cooling and a balancer, a spine frame, twin shocks at the rear and convention­al forks at the front. Equipment includes Royal Enfield’s turn-by-turn Tripper sat nav system as standard, a feet-forward riding position and a wide, comfortabl­e seat. A range of accessorie­s are also on offer for you to personalis­e the model. The softly-tuned Meteor has a top speed of 73mph, and the factory claims miserly fuel consumptio­n of more than 100 mpg. Accompanyi­ng the Fireball is the Stellar at £3,829, with a more restrained paint scheme and back rest, and the Supernova – the top-spec model that comes with two-tone paint, a back rest and screen at £3,909. Demonstrat­ion bikes are now in dealership­s, and orders are being accepted for the new single, which looks set to emulate the success of the company’s 650 cc Intercepto­r and Continenta­l GT models.
