Ride comfort
Suspension is nice and plush the proper cruiser feel, the engine feels very refined very clean acceleration consistent throttle response, suspension's like gliding through the air it's like gliding through the air, it is a really satisfying feeling when you ride it laid back low slung cruiser design. the handlebar reaches out to you you have a good well-cushioned seat well-padded seat five-speed gearbox the balancer shaft really makes a world of difference. the meter console, the speedo console and it comes with turn-by-turn navigation can you believe it everyone who you know complained about royal Enfield not giving fuel gauge and other stuff well they've given the fuel gauge gear position indicator whole lot of stuff even the kind of distance to empty kind of the sink repeaters odometers and the clock.it also has a battery voltmeter I believe and it says built with google how cool is that wow truly amazing feeling truly satisfying feeling. the royal Enfield claimed that this bike is easy to ride through the city as much as you would enjoy it on the highway.
The brakes are good, the 19-inch wheel gives you great confidence, the best part switchgear everything is bang on it has that nice thump of the Royal Enfield signature thump of the Royal Enfield you can just glide through traffic, the bike has good handling capabilities as well the super fat 140 section rear tire makes you feel that you can put your knee down that's how good it is I mean offers great road grip then the slightly loose lung seat and lower center of gravity give you the feeling that gives you that planted feel of the bike. very refined, very satisfying, the seat is super comfortable, the clutch is easy to use, it's not too hard or too heavy. The gearbox is very smooth, very smooth you can say nice tall gear ratios and the fifth gear is nice and tall for highways. so I think four gears are sufficient for the city to use fifth gear is primarily for overdrive or kind of highway cruising capabilities. Royal Enfield meteor 350 very refined good throttle response and amazing ride quality undoubtedly one of the best in this price segment.
