Since its inception, Royal Enfield has been all about individuality and character. Unlike other manufacturers, it invites its customers to personalize their motorcycles as they see fit. Royal Enfield Meteor 350 received a lot of positive feedback when it was revealed in 2020, especially in Asia, because of its classic cruiser style, exceptional build quality, and low price. 

It was the ideal venue for bespoke builders to showcase their talents. Akhilesh Manchandi, an Indian designer, has created a revolutionary concept bobber built on the Meteor 350. Akhilesh chose a futuristic style over the full-on classic and vintage designs. The extreme front suspension design is perhaps the most noticeable aspect of this bespoke prototype.

The dual-lever suspension design is similar to what we'd see on previous-generation BMWs. Akhilesh's bespoke build also receives a modified headlamp that is far thinner than the factory one. The handlebar is also higher and slanted back than the original. A carbon-fiber finished fuel tank, bespoke single saddle with a chopped tail, and an altered swingarm that appears to be constructed of aluminum alloy, are among the other eye-catching design components.

Royal Enfield Meteor 350's side panels were also altered, and now have air vents for extra style, provided the bike's 349cc air-cooled single engine is retained. The handcrafted bike has a dynamic look thanks to a set of carbon-fiber disc wheels. Massive double front disc brakes, installed in a similar method to Buell's motorcycles, add to the modern look. A matching design may also be seen on the single rear disc brake. Finally, the chrome-plated exhaust system completes the custom concept bike's sleek, minimalist appearance.
