Yamaha Rajdoot 350 Launched: Yamaha’s famous bike Rajdoot 350, which once ruled the roads of India, has returned once again. But this time this return is not just to refresh old memories, but to make a place in the hearts of new age riders. Yamaha has introduced this bike in a new avatar – where you will get the old classic look, but with modern technology.
Rajdoot 350: Old Heritage, New Age Power
Rajdoot 350 is a name that people of the 80s and 90s can never forget. In that era, this bike was the identity of style and power for the Indian youth. Now Yamaha has revived the same spirit. The new model looks as powerful and muscular as the old model, but with modern features of today’s era.
Old Style in Design and Look, But New Feel
In the new Rajdoot 350, you will get the same long fuel tank, the same chrome finished exhaust pipe and wire-spoke wheels. But now it has been added:
- LED headlights – great light in the dark of night
- Semi-digital instrument console – where you will get information about speed, fuel average and trip meter
- Matte finish tank and retro round indicators
- A long and cushioned single seat – which keeps you comfortable even on long rides
This look is full of emotions for old-time bike lovers and a style statement for new riders.
New Engine, Powerful But Eco-Friendly
This time a new, 349cc single cylinder, 4-stroke, air-cooled engine has been installed in Rajdoot 350. This engine is not only powerful, but is also more fuel efficient than ever. Yamaha has designed it specially keeping in mind the roads and traffic conditions of India.
The performance of the engine is so balanced that it gives you strong acceleration in the city and a smooth cruising experience on the highway.
- The 5-speed gearbox offers very smooth gear shifting
- This engine also follows BS6 Phase 2 emission norms, i.e. it is environmentally friendly
- Compared to the old 2-stroke engine, there is almost no vibration in it, which makes the journey on long distances even more comfortable
Revolution in the World of Mileage – 86 KMPL
Now let’s talk about the biggest feature of this bike – its mileage. Yamaha Rajdoot 350 now gives a surprising mileage of 86 kilometers per liter. Many fans of Royal Enfield Bullet are also surprised to know this figure.
Usually bikes in this segment give an average of 30 to 40 KMPL, but Rajdoot 350 crosses this limit.
How Did Yamaha Do This?
- Fuel injection technology – which reduces petrol consumption
- Eco riding mode – which controls the speed and acceleration of the bike
- Start-stop system – the bike stops automatically in traffic and starts again as soon as the clutch is pressed
- Low rolling resistance tires – which help save fuel
All these things together make it a perfect budget friendly option for students, office goers and middle-class families.
Majestic Features – New Era, New Facilities
The new Rajdoot 350 is not just a ride of old memories, but it has smart features of today’s era. Let’s see some important features:
- Semi-digital console – Shows trip meter, fuel gauge and average
- Bluetooth connectivity – You can connect to the phone and see notifications
- Turn-by-turn navigation – Now no worries of getting lost
- USB charging port – Charging mobile is now very easy
- Side stand engine cut-off – The bike will not start unless the stand is up

Comfortable Ride – For Every Day and Every Journey

- Comfortable riding position – no leaning too far forward or too far back
- Single piece seat – Long and well cushioned for both rider and pillion
- Telescopic front forks and twin rear shock absorbers – easily tackles potholes and bad roads
