It is no secret that Royal Enfield has plenty of models in development and many of them are spotted testing on the roads every now and then. The company has models in the works for all three segments including 350cc, 450cc, and 650cc. In the 350cc category, Enfield is working on a Bobber-style bike which has been spied on multiple occasions previously.
Although not confirmed, this new 350cc motorcycle from Royal Enfield is expected to be named “Goan Classic 350” since a trademark for the same has already been filed by the bikemaker. A recent spy video of the bobber went viral on the internet which reveals some new details of the upcoming retro motorcycle.
Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber: Design
As expected, Royal Enfield will offer a bike with a classic retro styling in lines with the Classic 350. However, the bobber will have some significant updates over the Classic which will also lead to a massive change in ergonomics. For starters, it gets a raised ape hanger U-shaped handlebar typical of a bobber which is pulled towards the rider.
The other big change is a redesigned front and rear fenders which are slightly broader and shorter than the ones seen in Classic. Further, the 350cc bobber will be available as a single-seater model which can be had with an accessory pillion seat. Other visual changes will include a new exhaust muffler and wire-spoke wheels with painted side walls on the rims. Rest of the details like a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, LED turn indicators, and round headlamps have been carried over from the Classic 350.
