Royal Enfield has its plate full with plenty of new models lined up for launch in the coming weeks. The company recently unveiled the Interceptor Bear 650 and the Classic 650 at EICMA 2024, with the former already on sale in the market since earlier this month.
However, the Chennai-based bikemaker is yet to reveal all its cards and has something interesting lined up for the upcoming iteration of the Motoverse starting later this week. The next in line is the Goan Classic 350— the fifth, and most probably the final, model in Enfield’s 350cc range.
Ahead of its debut on November 23 at the Motoverse in Vagator, Goa, Royal Enfield is building up the hype on the internet by sharing multiple teasers of the bike on the company’s website and social media handles. The motorcycle has also been spotted testing on numerous occasions in the past couple of years. It is based on the same J-series platform as Classic, Meteor, Hunter, and Bullet.
Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350: Expected Design & features
As seen in the design patents and spy shots, the Goan Classic is a bobber derivative of the Classic 350 with most of the styling borrowed from the latter. Hence, it boasts of familiar visual highlights like a round headlamp, a teardrop-sharped fuel tank, broad fenders, and the same ovular, and triangular side panels as the Classic 350. It also retains the traditional round headlamp with a chrome ring and a metal headlight cap along with ‘Tiger Eye’ pilot lamps.
The Goan Classic differentiates itself from the regular Classic with a raised ape hanger U-shaped handlebar like a traditional bobber. The Goan Classic will come as a single-seater as standard with the option of a detachable pillion seat with split grab rails. The other notable difference are the white walled rims of the spoked rims in the Goan Classic.
Features on the Goan Classic will most likely be lifted from the Classic 350 such as LED headlamp, taillamp, and turn indicators, an analog dial with a small digital inset, and a USB charging port.
Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350: Expected Mechanical specs
Powering the Goan Classic will be the same J-series 349cc single-cylinder, air/oil-cooled engine which kicks out 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm of peak torque. This motor will be paired with a 5-speed gearbox. Royal Enfield may provide a different engine mapping for this model for a different feel.
Hardware configuration will include telescopic front forks, a rear monoshock, 300mm front and 270mm rear disc brakes with dual-channel ABS, and 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels. As per previous reports, the Goan Classic gets a seat height of 805mm and a ground clearance of 170mm.
