Royal Enfield Meteor 350 gets updated for the model year 2023

KUALA LUMPUR: It was only recently that Royal Enfield Malaysia launched the all-new Meteor 350 along with the Classic 350 in the local market. And now we hear that the motorcycle manufacturer has updated the latter with better visuals for the model year 2023.

The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 now benefits from new colour tones for the base Fireball and mid-spec Supernova variants. As for its mechanical and technical configuration, everything remains the same.

2023 Royal Enfield Meteor 350 new colour tones -

• Meteor 350 Fireball: Fireball Blue & Fireball Matt Green
• Meteor Supernova: Supernova Red

The range-topping Stellar variant, on the other hand, gets no such update and continues to be offered in the following tones - Stellar Red, Stellar Blue, and Stellar Black.

 

How to differentiate between the three Meteor 350 variants?

Well, it is quite simple as each Meteor 350 variant showcases a unique bit. For instance, the Stellar gets a backrest and the Supernova showcases both a backrest and a windscreen at the front. The entry-level Fireball model gets none.
