Royal Enfield is set to debut the Goan Classic 350 at Motoverse 2024 in Vagator, Goa, running from November 22 to 24. Teased for the first time, this much-anticipated motorcycle marks another milestone in Royal Enfield’s dynamic year, which began with the launch of the Shotgun 650, followed by the Guerrilla 450, and updates to its Classic lineup. The company recently showcased the Interceptor Bear 650 scrambler and Classic 650 at the EICMA 2024 in Milan.
The Goan Classic 350 is a special, customized version of the standard Classic 350, characterized by a bobber-inspired design and refined aesthetics. Enthusiasts have eagerly awaited its launch, fueled by sightings during testing phases and patent images earlier this year. Its name and design have now been confirmed through an official teaser video.
What Sets the Goan Classic 350 Apart?
While retaining the proven mechanicals of the Classic 350, the Goan Classic 350 boasts unique design and ergonomic upgrades. The bike features the same 349 cc air-cooled, single-cylinder, fuel-injected engine that produces around 20 bhp at 6,100 rpm and 27 Nm of torque. This powertrain is paired with a five-speed gearbox, offering the dependable performance Royal Enfield fans expect from the J-series platform.
Built on a tubular downtube frame, the motorcycle incorporates a telescopic front fork and twin shock absorbers at the rear, ensuring a smooth and balanced ride. Safety is enhanced with disc brakes on both ends, supported by a dual-channel ABS system. Weighing 197 kg (206 kg with the optional pillion seat), the bike offers a ground clearance of 170 mm and is expected to carry a price tag of approximately ₹2.15 lakh (ex-showroom).
Distinctive Features and Design Highlights
The Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 emphasizes retro styling with a modern twist. It includes a single long rider seat and an exposed rear fender that accentuates its bobber aesthetic, especially when the optional pillion seat is excluded. Split grab rails, wire-spoked wheels, and whitewall tires add a vintage charm to its overall look.
The upright handlebar, combined with slightly forward-set footpegs, ensures a unique and comfortable riding posture. These elements collectively position the Goan Classic 350 as a stylish yet functional motorcycle in the bobber segment, designed to appeal to riders looking for a mix of nostalgia and performance.
Competition and Market Positioning
Expected to compete with similar offerings from Jawa and Yezdi, the Goan Classic 350 is likely to carve its niche in the bobber market. With its premium design elements and reliable engineering, it aims to capture the interest of enthusiasts seeking a blend of classic appeal and modern functionality.
As the November 23 launch approaches, excitement continues to build for this latest addition to the Royal Enfield lineup. Stay tuned for more updates on the Goan Classic 350 and its official unveiling at Motoverse 2024.
