Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Aurora Variant Launched in India at Rs 2.20 Lakh, Gets Spoke Wheels and LED headlamp

The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 gets a new variant, called the Aurora, further expanding the variant line-up comprising Fireball, Stellar, and Supernova variants. Priced at Rs 2.20 lakh (ex-showroom, Chennai), the Meteor 350 Aurora sits between the Stellar and Supernova variants. At this price point, the new variant offers three different colour options, spoke wheels, and an LED headlamp similar to the one found on the Super Meteor 650. One of the biggest highlights of the new bike is that it brings in three new retro colours – Black, Green, and Blue. Its retro appeal is further enhanced by the heavy use of chrome all over the bike, including on the engine case, exhaust system, and headlamp nacelle. It also gets a pillion backrest, a large windscreen, and an LED headlamp, making the Aurora the most affordable vehicle in the model range to offer the LED headlamp as standard – the Supernova variant with the LED unit can be had at an ex-showroom price of Rs 2.30 lakh.
