Royal Enfield reveals design for much-anticipated Goan Classic 350 bobber
Royal Enfield has revealed the design of its much-anticipated 350cc bobber, the Goan Classic 350. The motorcycle, which has been under development for some time, is expected to deliver a power output of 20.2hp and torque of 27Nm. Despite the design image being in low-resolution and monochrome, it showcases an appealing bike that is sure to attract enthusiasts.
It incorporates elements from Classic 350 model
The Goan Classic 350 borrows several design elements from the popular Classic 350 model. These include the headlamp nacelle, front forks, engine, and some body panels. However, it also introduces new features such as a removable pillion seat and an ape-hanger handlebar. This handlebar design is expected to offer a more upright hand position compared to other models.
Unique seating configuration sets it apart
A key feature of the Goan Classic 350 is its seating configuration. Unlike its direct competitors, the Jawa bobbers, this bike can comfortably seat two people as standard. The pillion seat appears easily removable, and is attached directly to the main frame, instead of on the rear fender like in the Classic and Bullet models. When detached, it gives the bike a sleek and minimalist look characteristic of true bobber style.
Goan Classic 350 to feature whitewall tires as standard
The Goan Classic 350 also stands out with its whitewall tires. It will be one of only a few new bikes available in 2024 that come with whitewall tires as standard, joining ranks with models like the Harley-Davidson's Heritage Classic. This feature further enhances the bike's appeal and sets it apart from other models in its category.
Goan Classic 350 to house a 350cc engine
The Goan Classic 350 will house a 350cc J-platform engine that currently powers four models. While it's expected to retain an identical power output of 20.2hp and 27Nm of torque, minor adjustments might be made to align with the bike's laid-back nature. The exhaust muffler also appears to sport a new blacked-out design, hinting at potential internal modifications.
