| Model | Base variant | Medium variant | Top variant |
|---|---|---|---|
| Royal Enfield Meteor 350 | 1.75 lakh * (BT and Nav) | ₹ 1.81 lakh * (BT and Nav) | ₹ 1.90 lakh * (BT and Nav) |
| Honda H’Ness CB 350 | $ 1.85 lakh | ₹ 1.90 lakh * (BT and Nav) | |
| Benelli Imperiale 400 | $ 1.99 lakh | ||
| Jawa | ₹ 1.74 lakh (without ABS) | ₹ 1.83 lakh (ABS) | |
| Jawa forty two | ₹ 1.65 lakh (without ABS) | ₹ 1.74 lakh (ABS) |
(* Variants with Bluetooth connectivity and navigation)
The Benelli Imperiale 400 is offered in a single variant, which is the most expensive at ₹ 1.99 lakh
As for Jawa, the company offers two models in this segment, Jawa and Jawa Forty-Two, and the dual-channel ABS versions of both bikes are priced at ₹ 1.83 lakh and ₹ 1.74 lakh (ex-sala of exhibition, Delhi) respectively. Now the company also offers single channel ABS models that are slightly cheaper at ₹ 1.74 lakh and ₹ 1.65 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) respectively. However, all other rival bikes offer dual channel ABS as standard.
The Jawa and Jawa Forty-Two get cheaper single channel ABS variants that undermine all other bikes
So while the Jawa and Jawa Forty-Two marginally undermine the new Royal Enfield Meteor 350, the latter certainly offers more value on paper based on its features. The H’Ness CB 350 with its Honda smartphone voice activated system offers more connectivity features than the Meteor 350’s Tripper Navigation, but Honda only offers it with the high-spec model, while Royal Enfield offers its system as standard. So based purely on price, the new Meteor 350 certainly offers more value and variations as well.
