Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 trademark filed– upcoming 350cc Bobber?

Royal Enfield has several new models in development planned for launch over the next few years. The company currently has 4 models in the entry-level 350cc lineup namely— Classic, Meteor, Hunter and Bullet. As per previous reports, the Chennai-based bikemaker will add another model in the 350cc range.

This new 350cc model is most likely a bobber style motorcycle which could carry a new nameplate. Royal Enfield has recently filed a new trademark for the name ‘Goan Classic 350’ which is expected to be utilised for the upcoming 350cc bobber. Test mules of the 350cc bobber have been spotted on multiple occasions in the past few months.

Spy images of the 350cc bobber have revealed that while the bike will carry traditional Royal Enfield design cues, critical changes will lead to very different ergonomics from the rest of the 350cc models. For instance, the forward-set footpegs will be complemented by very tall handlebars twisted towards the rider. This will lend the bike an appearance of a traditional American chopper.

Further, the 350cc bobber will be available as a single-seater model which can be had with an accessory pillion seat. In comparison to the Classic 350, its upcoming bobber sibling will have short front and rear fenders, revised turn indicators, a fatter rear wheel, and a new exhaust muffler. In many ways, it looks like a smaller version of the recently unveiled Roya;l Enfield Shotgun 650.

Underneath, however, the bobber 350 will be identical to the likes of Classic and Meteor, with the same dual-cradle frame that sits on conventional telescopic front forks, and dual shock absorbers at the rear. Braking duties are performed by 300 mm disc and 270 mm disc, at front and rear, respectively, aided by a dual-channel ABS as standard.

Moreover, the upcoming bobber 350 will be powered by a 349cc, single-cylinder petrol engine which is paired with a five-speed gearbox. This engine is good enough to churn out 20.2  bhp and 27 Nm of peak torque.
