Royal Enfield Classic 250 2025 is one of the most awaited retro bikes in India, designed for riders who want legendary Royal Enfield styling but with a lighter, more fuel-efficient engine. This new 250cc model follows the same DNA of Classic 350—retro charm, metal-body feel, comfortable seating—but adds improved mileage, lower vibrations, and a more accessible price tag.
Design & Styling
Royal Enfield Classic 250 continues the same timeless retro design that made the Classic series iconic. It comes with a circular halogen/LED headlamp, chrome-finished indicators, teardrop fuel tank, spoke or alloy wheel options, and old-school styling. The overall build is metal-heavy for premium feel, but lighter than the Classic 350 for better city use.
The upright seating posture, wide handlebar, and cushioned split seats ensure maximum comfort for long rides. RE is expected to offer multiple color options similar to Classic 350—Gloss Black, Chrome Red, Military Green, and Stealth Black. The fit and finish feel solid, targeting riders who want an affordable Royal Enfield without extra weight.
Engine & Performance
Royal Enfield Classic 250 will come with a newly developed 249cc single-cylinder engine based on the J-platform, known for low vibration and smooth performance.
Expected power output: 18–20 HP
Expected torque: 20–22 Nm
This engine is tuned for relaxed city riding, strong low-end torque, and smooth cruising around 80–90 km/h.
Fuel injection ensures cleaner burn and better throttle response. The bike will also include a 5-speed gearbox and refined exhaust sound—deeper than normal 250cc bikes but smoother than the 350cc thump. RE may also add Eco & City riding modes for better control.
Mileage & Ride Quality
Mileage is one of the biggest advantages of the Classic 250. Expected mileage: 35–40 km/l in city rides and 40–45 km/l on highways.
This makes it perfect for daily commuting and long rides without heavy fuel costs.
The suspension setup includes 41mm front telescopic forks and twin rear shocks tuned for comfort on Indian roads. Braking will include front disc + rear disc with dual-channel ABS for safe stopping power. The bike maintains stability during long rides and feels lighter to control compared to the Classic 350.
Features & Technology
Royal Enfield Classic 250 keeps its retro theme but adds modern features for a balanced experience.
Expected features include:
• Semi-digital Instrument Cluster
• Analogue-style speedometer
• Tripper Navigation support
• USB charging port
• LED DRLs
• Side-stand engine cut-off
• Fuel-efficient riding indicator
Royal Enfield may also add smartphone connectivity via the RE App with navigation and trip details for touring riders.
Price & Variants
Royal Enfield Classic 250 price in India is expected to start from ₹1.60 lakh to ₹1.80 lakh (ex-showroom).
Variants are likely similar to Classic 350:
• Standard
• Halcyon
• Signals Edition
• Chrome Edition
This pricing makes the Classic 250 a more affordable entry-point for riders who want the Royal Enfield experience without spending big.
Launch Date
Expected launch: Mid 2025 or festive season 2025.
Royal Enfield is testing multiple new models, and the Classic 250 is expected to be revealed soon in India.
