The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 has finally made its way to the Philippines. All three variants (Fireball, Stellar, and Supernova) of the 350cc motorcycle have been launched in the Southeast Asian country. The starting price has been set at PHP 232,000.
The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 was
introduced in India in Nov last year. In the same month, the Chennai-based
company launched the new Meteor in Thailand. The motorcycle entered the
European markets in December and now, it has been made available in the
Philippines. Royal Enfield is asking PHP 232,000 for the
Fireball variant, PHP 242,000 for Stellar, and PHP 252,000 for the range-topping Supernova model.
Powering the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 is a
brand-new 349 cc single-cylinder engine that puts out 20.2 bhp of max power and
27 Nm of peak torque. It uses an advanced SOHC set up and not the conventional
pushrod mechanism which the company used to have in the previous-gen 350cc
mills. Thanks to this and the new balancer shaft, the vibration levels in the
new Meteor 350 are very well controlled.
The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 comes with
the Tripper Navigation system which is one of the highlighting features of the
motorcycle. It is the company’s first model to get this feature. The Tripper
Navigation is a small screen that is located next to the primary instrument
cluster. Customers can connect their smartphones to it via Bluetooth and use
the Royal Enfiled mobile application to benefit from turn-by-turn navigation.
