Retro Styling Meets Modern Design
The 2025 Rajdoot 350 retains the ethos of the original with its round LED headlamp, teardrop fuel tank, twin exhausts, and minimalist bodywork. It combines the old looks with the new with digital-analog instruments, LED lighting, alloy wheels, and matte paint choices. The end product is a timeless silhouette with a modern aesthetic—pandering to retro fans and Gen Y riders alike.
Engine and Performance

It is paired to a slick 5-speed transmission with a slipper clutch, giving the NS its agility inside the city and comfort on the highway. And its approximate 140-145 kgs of kerb weight means the power-to-weight ratio throws in a fun ride.
Comfortable and Confident Ride
