Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 boasts a stylish bobber design with retro-modern features like a lowered seat, mini ape hanger handlebars, and vintage-inspired fenders.
Royal Enfield has unveiled the Goan Classic 350a stunning bobber-styled motorcycle, ahead of its official launch at the 2024 Royal Enfield Motoverse in Vagator, Goa, from November 22-24. This new addition marks a milestone, as it is the first Royal Enfield model to feature the brand’s new logo.
Built on the J-Platform
New Goan Classic 350 is the fifth model to use Royal Enfield’s versatile J-platform, already seen on the Meteor 350, Hunter, Classic, and Bullet. Designed as a premium lifestyle motorcycle, it is positioned above the Classic 350. It stands out with its tear-drop-shaped fuel tank, retro-style rounded LED headlamps, and a digi-analogue instrument cluster.
Goan 350 boasts a single-seat layout (750 mm seat height), complemented by U-shaped handlebars and forward-set footpegs for a relaxed riding posture. The white-wall tyres, blacked-out exhaust, and spoke wheels give it an authentic bobber vibe.
The design sketch of the Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 highlights several key bobber-specific features that set it apart. It includes a lowered rider seat for a relaxed riding position, a mini ape hanger handlebar for enhanced comfort and aesthetics, and a distinctive slash-cut silencer end. The design incorporates a short front fender with a mudflap and tubeless retro-styled tyres for added durability and a vintage appeal.
At the rear, a swing-arm-mounted fender, rigid fender stay, and a stylish tail lamp casing complete its classic silhouette. The bike also features LED headlamps and blinkers, ensuring modern functionality within its retro-inspired design. These elements collectively enhance the Goan Classic’s stance as a stylish, lifestyle-focused bobber in Royal Enfield’s lineup.
