Royal Enfield has officially pulled the covers off its latest creation—the Goan Classic 350, a stunning bobber-style motorcycle based on the popular Classic 350 platform. Slated to be launched at the Royal Enfield Motoverse Festival in Goa on November 23, this motorcycle is a celebration of the brand's rich heritage and the custom culture intertwined with it. With a perfect blend of style, functionality, and coastal inspiration, the Goan Classic 350 is set to become a premium offering in Royal Enfield's lineup.

A Bobber that Balances Style and Comfort

The Goan Classic 350 takes its design cues from the laid-back Goan lifestyle, boasting a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, ape-hanger handlebars, and forward-set foot pegs that deliver a quintessential cruiser vibe. The single rider seat is complemented by a removable floating pillion seat, making it versatile for riders who value both aesthetics and practicality. Its low seat height of 750mm—down from the Classic 350’s 805mm—ensures accessibility for shorter riders.

Adding to the bobber look are white-wall Ceat tires wrapped around 19-inch wire-spoke wheels at the front and 16-inch wheels at the rear—a first in this segment for tubeless tires on spoked rims. The round LED headlamp, slash-cut exhaust, and metal switch cubes borrowed from the 650cc lineup complete its retro-modern appeal.

Upgraded Ergonomics and Features

• Riding Position: Thanks to the lower seat height, taller mini-ape hanger handlebars, and forward-set footpegs from the Meteor 350, the Goan Classic offers a relaxed, cruiser-like riding stance.
• Suspension: The rear suspension has been re-tuned with increased travel (105mm vs 90mm on the Classic 350) for added comfort.
• Braking and Safety: It features 300mm and 270mm disc brakes front and rear, respectively, paired with dual-channel ABS.
• Premium Touches: Adjustable brake levers and LED indicators elevate the overall experience.

Performance and Familiar Foundations

The Goan Classic retains the proven mechanical setup of the Classic 350. Its 349cc single-cylinder J-series engine produces 20.2hp and 27Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed gearbox. The frame remains a twin downtube spine unit, and ground clearance stays at 170mm. While the kerb weight has increased slightly to 197kg, the ride promises to be as engaging as its predecessor.

The fuel tank capacity is unchanged at 13 liters, ensuring sufficient range for long coastal rides. The bike also gets a premium color palette with four options: Rave Red, Trip Teal, Purple Haze, and Shock Black, complete with gold and silver-finished Royal Enfield badges.

Positioning and Premium Appeal

Positioned as a luxury addition to the 350cc lineup, the Goan Classic brings unique features like spoked tubeless wheels and metal switchgear to the segment, making it stand apart from its peers. While pricing hasn’t been revealed yet, it’s expected to command a premium over the Classic 350, which is currently priced between ₹1.93 lakh and ₹2.25 lakh (ex-showroom, India).

Verdict: More Than Just a Motorcycle

The Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 is not just a bike—it’s a statement. With its coastal-inspired design, bobber aesthetics, and functional upgrades, it appeals to those who value style, comfort, and exclusivity. Whether you’re cruising through winding streets or making a statement at a biker meet, this motorcycle promises to turn heads.

Stay tuned for the official price announcement at the Motoverse Festival in Goa, where Royal Enfield enthusiasts will witness the launch of this remarkable addition to the brand’s storied legacy.
