New Yamaha Rajdoot 350 Launched – ABS, Bluetooth System, 80 KMPL Mileage

There is great news for bike lovers in India. The famous and once heart-ruling Rajdoot 350 bike is now coming back again. Its new model is going to be launched in 2025, and on hearing this news, the memories of old-time bike lovers have been refreshed.

This bike is not just a machine, but an emotion – especially for those who saw or rode it in the 80s and 90s. Now that the new avatar of Rajdoot 350 is about to come, it will be a combination of old memories with new technology.

History of Rajdoot 350: A look back

On hearing the name Rajdoot, the picture of a heavy and powerful bike comes to the eyes. This bike was first made in India by Escorts Group, and its design was taken from Japan’s Yamaha RD350B.

Launched in 1983, this bike created a stir in India. Its powerful engine and high speed made the youth crazy. But due to some economic and environmental rules, it was stopped from being made in 1989, and the last bikes were sold in 1991.

Now after almost 30 years, this iconic bike is returning to the market again – but this time with new colors and features.

Old style in design, but new twist

In the new model, you will get the same old classic look that people liked, but now you will get some modern changes with it.

Highlights of the design:

• Retro look: The shape and style of the bike is the same as the old model – muscular fuel tank and shine of chrome.
• LED lights: LED lights have been given in both the front and rear, which will make the light more clear.
• Matte and chrome finish: Its mixed finish will make the bike look premium and stylish.
• Semi-digital meter: You get the fun of a digital screen along with the old-time dial.

This design will remind you of the old times, but will also meet the needs of today.

Engine and performance: The right balance of power and ride

Now let’s talk about the heart of the bike – the engine.

Earlier the Rajdoot had a two-stroke engine, which was very fast but not suitable according to today’s environmental laws. So now it will have a four-stroke engine with new technology, which will not only be fast but will also cause less pollution.

Possible engine specifications:

• Engine: 350cc, liquid-cooled, single cylinder
• Power: 30 to 35 bhp (estimated)
• Torque: Around 32 Nm
• Gear: 6-speed transmission
• Mileage: 35 to 40 km per liter

This engine will be good for driving in the city as well as for long distance rides.

Suspension and Chassis: Comfortable and fun ride

Just a powerful engine is not enough, the bike should also be comfortable.

The new model of Rajdoot 350 has a suspension system that will reduce shocks even in small and big potholes.

Suspension details:

• Front: Telescopic forks that absorb shocks better.
• Rear: Twin shocks that can also be adjusted.

With this, not only the single rider, but the pillion rider will also be able to enjoy the ride.

Braking and Safety: Now a more safe ride

In today’s time, safety is the most important thing in a bike. That’s why ABS i.e. Anti-lock Braking System has been given in the new Rajdoot model, due to which the bike will not skid even if sudden braking is applied.

Braking System:

• Front: Dual-channel ABS with disc brake
• Rear: Disc brake and ABS

This will give the bike good grip and control even at high speeds.

Technology and Features: Modern twist on a classic bike

The new Rajdoot will not just bring back old memories, it also has many new features that are necessary in today’s bikes.

Key Features:

• Semi-digital instrument cluster – which will include an analog meter and a digital screen.
• Bluetooth connectivity – Call alerts and maps can be viewed by connecting to the phone.
• GPS navigation – Turn-by-turn navigation system.
• USB charging port – Facility to charge mobile.
• Side stand cut-off – If the stand is down, the bike will not start, so that safety is maintained.

All these features make it a completely modern bike.

Launch date and price: What could be the price?

Now let’s talk about the launch and price, which everyone wants to know.

Expected details:

• Launch date: Early 2025
• Bookings start: May start in late 2024
• Price: ₹2,30,000 to ₹2,50,000 (ex-showroom)

Initially, this bike will be available in metro cities, then gradually it will be available across the country.

Who will it compete with?

The Rajdoot 350 will compete with some popular bikes already present in India, such as:

• Royal Enfield Classic 350
• Jawa 350
• Honda H’ness CB350

But the special thing about the Rajdoot is its heritage, which makes it different. For those who want a different identity and old-time classic feel, it can be a perfect choice.

Conclusion: A new beginning, in the old style

The Rajdoot 350 is not just a bike — it is an emotion, a memory, a journey that lives in the hearts of many.

Now that it is returning with new technology and a modern look, it is sure to win the hearts of bike lovers. It has everything that today’s riders want — power, style, features and a unique identity.
