Introduction to the Goan Classic 350
Royal Enfield is gearing up for the launch of the Goan Classic 350, a bobber-styled version of its popular Classic 350. Scheduled for November 23, 2024, this new motorcycle promises a blend of classic design and modern features, appealing to enthusiasts and casual riders alike.
Distinctive Bobber Design
The Goan Classic 350 will maintain the classic silhouette of the original model while introducing a bobber aesthetic. Key design elements include ape handlebars and a single seat, along with the option for a pillion seat. The motorcycle will also feature slightly forward-set footpegs, creating a more relaxed riding position.
Innovative Accessories and Colour Options
Expect an array of accessories with the Goan Classic 350, including white-walled tyres and a tall windscreen. Royal Enfield aims to attract buyers with vibrant colour schemes similar to those seen on the Guerrilla 450 and Interceptor Bear 650, enhancing the bike’s visual appeal.
Technical Specifications and Performance
Built on the J-Series platform, first introduced with the Meteor 350, the Goan Classic 350 will utilize the same robust double-downtube chassis. The motorcycle will be powered by a 348 cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine, generating 20.7 bhp and 27 Nm of peak torque, coupled with a 5-speed gearbox. The suspension setup will consist of a telescopic fork at the front and twin shock absorbers at the rear, ensuring a smooth ride.
Competing in the Bobber Segment
Upon its release, the Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 will face competition from models like the Jawa Perak in the bobber motorcycle category. With its unique features and heritage styling, it aims to carve out a niche in the competitive motorcycle market.
