Royal Enfield Unveils Green Revolution: Classic 350 'Flex Fuel' Promises An Eco-Friendly Ride
Chennai-based manufacturer, Royal Enfield, showcased its green initiative with the unveiling of the Classic 350 Flex Fuel model at the ongoing Bharat Mobility Global Expo in New Delhi. The iconic 'dug dug' sound gets an eco-friendly twist.
Distinctive Design with a Green Touch
The Classic 350 Flex Fuel maintains the timeless design of the classic model but introduces a distinctive metallic green fuel tank with red livery. The single seat and wire-spoke wheels add to the bike's vintage appeal.
Flex Fuel Technology Explained
Revolutionising the ride, the Flex Fuel model is engineered to run on a blend of petrol and ethanol. Ethanol, a biofuel derived from renewable sources like sugarcane or corn, allows for a greener alternative. The adjustable ethanol content, ranging from 10% to 85%, offers flexibility based on availability and regulations.
Powerful and Environmentally Conscious Engine
Under the hood, the 350cc engine is capable of using a mix of petrol and ethanol. The spec sheet reveals an ability to run on an ethanol mix of up to 85%, delivering 20 hp and 27 Nm of peak torque. Mated to a 5-speed gearbox, this environmentally conscious powerhouse promises a responsible yet powerful ride.
Future Outlook and Launch Expectations
While Royal Enfield has not disclosed a specific launch date for the Classic 350 Flex Fuel, anticipation is high for its arrival on the streets next year. As technology and infrastructure progress, the blending percentage is expected to increase, marking a significant step towards eco-friendly commuting in India.
