At the rear, the circular theme continues with the circular stop light and circular turn indicators. Royal Enfield might be the only manufacturer which still provides springs beneath the rider seat. The front seat of the Classic is extremely comfortable due to the cruiser like riding triangle that it forms due to the front set footpegs and straight handlebar. The spoked rims enhance the retro appeal of the motorcycle. The analogue instrument console just shows the speed and an odometer which means that there is no fuel gauge.
