Royal Enfield is on a spree of updating its entire product line-up with Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), trying to keep up with the safety norms. The safety norms will be effective from April 1st, 2019 and make it mandatory for the motorcycle manufacturers to equip their products with ABS and other safety features. Royal Enfield has equipped the base variant of Classic 350 with a dual-channel ABS, the brand already offers other Classic 350 (Signals 350, Redditch and Gun Metal Grey) models equipped with the same unit.
