The Rajdoot 350 makes a dramatic return in 2025, bringing back a legend with a mix of its classic character and modern updates. It aims to tap into the retro-enthusiast market while also offering practical upgrades for today’s riding.
Design & Aesthetics
The 2025 version retains the signature elements of the original Rajdoot: round headlamp, teardrop-shaped fuel tank and vintage styling cues. However, it incorporates modern finishes like LED lighting, improved materials and subtle refinements to make it look fresh and premium.
Engine & Performance
According to reports, the new Rajdoot 350 is powered by a 349 cc engine (single-cylinder or refined air-cooled) with a 6-speed gearbox in some versions. Estimated power output varies in sources (~22 PS in some, ~38 HP in others) and claimed mileage ranges from ~35-40 km/l to much higher figures in some claims.
Features & Tech
The 2025 model is said to come with dual-channel ABS, LED lighting setup, semi-digital instrument cluster, USB port and modern braking/suspension upgrades. These help it align with current norms and rider expectations.
Price & Availability
Speculation around pricing ranges widely: some sources mention an ex-showroom price around ₹1.95 lakh for the base variant. Other less credible sources quote very low prices (like ₹65,000) but these seem unlikely for a modern 350 cc bike with retro and premium features. Launch is expected mid-to-late 2025 in India, with bookings opening earlier.
Pros & Considerations
What’s good:
- Strong nostalgic appeal with genuine retro styling.
- Modern safety & tech features bring it up to date.
- A 350 cc capacity gives respectable size/presence.
Things to consider:
- With 350 cc and retro design, running & maintenance costs may be higher than smaller bikes.
- Confirmed specs (power, mileage, build quality) still largely rumours—needs verifying at launch.
- Service/spare-parts availability for a revived brand might lag compared to established models.
Conclusion
The Rajdoot 350 (2025) presents an interesting proposition for riders who value retro aesthetics but also want modern usability. If it lives up to the spec-rumours and pricing is competitive, it could be a strong choice in the mid-sized classic motorcycle segment.
