    The first time I saw the Rajdoot 350 2025, I have to admit, I was a bit surprised. The bike keeps its classic lines, but the new body panels and subtle updates give it a fresher look. The headlamp and tail-light try to add a modern touch, though I feel they could’ve been a bit sharper. As for colors, the company went with black metallic and deep red, which add a bit of style for city rides.Honestly, last time I went to the dealer and test-rode the old Rajdoot, I felt the bike won hearts more because of its name than anything else. The new model, however, shows a little more edge.


    Technology

    There’s not much flashy stuff here. The seating is classic, handlebar setup standard. What stood out for me was the information display. The digital meter seems more reliable, though I remember testing an EV once where a software bug made the readings completely wrong. Rajdoot didn’t give that kind of shock. Comfort-wise, the seat may feel a bit firm on long rides, but for city riding, it’s not an issue.


    Powertrain, Range & Real-World Performance

    Now about the power. The company claims the 350cc engine will be fun in both city and highway rides. Honestly, I rode last year’s 350cc model, and that promise didn’t fully hold. This new engine feels more refined. Steering and clutch are light, but sometimes the throttle response has a slight jerkiness. They claim 500 km range, but based on my experience, 380–400 km is more realistic, which is still respectable.

    Safety Features, Platform & Riding Dynamics

    The suspension setup and braking system have seen some upgrades over the old model. Disc brakes feel more reliable than drum versions. I once did a sudden braking test, and the bike didn’t surprise me control stayed intact. Stability is fairly tight, but in corners at higher speeds, there’s a slight sway. ABS is optional, which is important for safety.


    Variants, Expected Price & India Launch Timeline

    Rajdoot 350 2025 will come in two variants Standard and Premium. The Premium offers a digital meter, disc brakes, and better seat grip. Price is expected to be around ₹2.2–2.5 lakh in India. Dealers suggest the launch might happen in the next 2–3 months. Honestly, it’s a bike worth waiting for.


    Rivals, Market Competition & Brand Strategy

    The company is trying to carve a spot against Royal Enfield and Jawa. The real question is how young riders receive it. I remember riding a Jawa 350 last year, and compared to it, Rajdoot felt more city-friendly. The strategy is clear classic look with a slight modern touch. Long rides will ultimately decide its success, based on comfort and fuel efficiency.


    Verdict Wait or Explore Alternatives?

    Honestly, if you’re a fan of classic, reliable bikes, Rajdoot 350 2025 is worth a look. But if you’re after cutting-edge tech, EVs, or higher performance, there are alternatives to consider. My personal tip take a test ride at the dealer, because the difference in city vs. highway performance is noticeable. And based on my experience, this bike is reliable for long-term ownership, though a few small tweaks may be needed.
