Namaskara!
The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 has been making waves since its launch and is in great demand across the country.
In this video I am out to find out how it handles various terrains and what it could be to live with one. I take it out onto open highways, winding roads, village roads, hilly sections, broken roads and jelly roads.
Though I had ridden this motorcycle earlier, I had not done detailed testing to understand in-depth handling and road behaviour.
On todays 200 kms ride, I learnt a lot more about this motorcycle and also found that this Meteor is a very versatile motorcycle that can deliver good quality ride experience on various types of terrain.
Hope you enjoy watching and find the video useful.
Cheers!

Superb and detailed video sir! I have booked the Meteor and went on a ride recently with my TB350 while I wait for the new bike to get delivered. I got caught in some village roads with loose gravel like in your video and was hoping to see if the new bike would handle it better. Your video gives me more confidence I made a good choice booking the bike. Love your presentation style and calm voice. Subscribed!

I subscribed to your channel the moment I saw one of your videos on your modified Interceptor. The aspects you cover show you are a passionate rider, and know what people should know about the bikes they want to buy, and those aspects are well covered, explained in simple, and easy to understand language. Great review this! A must watch for all those who are sitting on the fence deciding which bike to go for between this and the classic or for that matter the new yezdi bikes. Thanks and keep up the good work, Sir!

I am watching this video 2 years after buying the motorcycle to understand how good are the initial reviews. Feedback after 2 years of owning the bike. 1- Suspension only works for good roads. Replaced mine with nitrox. 2-Light and Wind shield doesn’t works. But that is true with almost every bike. Using HJG Aux light and thing of buying a windshield extender. Might remove windshield altogether. 3-Cruiser posture puts so much strain on butts using fego air seat. 4- Thinking of buying touring handle bar from Royal Enfield. Engine is a gem,quality parts and no issues with service so far. After modifications this one I am going to retain for life.

When it comes to good highway comfort then the Meteor is better. For the pillion I suggest you take a test ride with your wife as pillion on both the motorcycles and let her be the one to choose the one that provides better pillion comfort. Cheers!

Hi sir i brought this vehicle a week back and enjoying this machine very much, but i have faced only 2 issues with this motorcycle 1. Rear suspension is very hard and it was hurting my spine like anything - Now i have upgraded the suspension with Classic 350 nitrox and the issue is solved 2. Today i got a chance to ride with a pillion in Bangalore haevy traffic and the engine heat is very much evident, After the engine heats up i could feel the power lag when i throttle - curious to know what would be the issue and how to fix it.

Please advice on proper sitting position on meteor, to sit right back on the curved surface or in the middle, to sit straight or lean forward especially in faster speed, to grip tank or not. All this to prevent neck and back , sometimes shoulder pain .i ride around 30 kms a day let me know if the touring seat is better thanks

Hi. To each their own riding posture. The cruiser is a relaxed position. Straight back, no need to grab tank, relaxed hands, leaning back a little. However when riding hard you'll need to lean forward a bit. Cheers!

@@bigbearbangalore can you compare the comfort, weight, feel and other features of the various helmets you have used in your videos? Which one would you recommend fir the meteor? Also are those expensive AGV helmets as good as their high price seem to suggest?

@bigbearbangalore 3 года назад

@@shyamfootprints972 Investing in a good helmet and taking good care of it has benefits for sure. The internals will be durable & washable and they retain shape and functionality and safety for many years. I have used several brands of helmets and the last 12 years I have used a Nolan, an X-Lite and now use an Arai. I find them very comfortable and very durable compared to any other budget helmet. Mind you, helmets are a huge topic and sometimes controversial discussing them. Since I mostly ride adventure and touring motorcycles I prefer adventure helmets. I currently use an Arai XD4. For the Meteor cruiser I suggest that you consider a full face with a built-in sun visor, removable & washable linings, pinlock compatible visor (anti-fogging), with good air vents and with a D-ring strap. And if budget permits buy a Helmet that's made in Japan, Italy or Korea or from other developed nations. AGV has a range from 12k to 40k and the lower budget helmets are made in China while most of the expensive models are made in Italy. HJC is also a good budget brand. The helmet in this video is a Nexx Muddy Hog full face. Its light and compact but the drawback is its got a small field of vision and a fixed visor that can just open just an inch. But I love it for its light weight. I think its about 1200 gms. Cheers!
