At the 2024 Motoverse event, Royal Enfield launched the eagerly awaited Goan Classic, expanding its 350cc lineup in India. Based on the famous Classic 350, the elegant bobber-inspired bike costs Rs 2.35 lakh for the base model and Rs 2.38 lakh for the top variant (both ex-showroom). It keeps the Classic 350's spirit while adding noticeable bobber-style elements like a tall ape-hanger handlebar and a unique split seat design with a floating unit for the pillion. The Goan Classic 350 is available in four vibrant colour options: Purple Haze, Rave Red, Shack Black, and Trip Teal. The Rave Red is a dual-tone hue, while the other colours are in a single tone.

Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350: What's New?
The Goan Classic 350 blends a more aggressive and fashionable bobber appearance with the classic 350's famous design. The bike's slightly longer swingarm is accommodated by the revised chassis and retuned rear suspension, which improves stability and makes for a more comfortable ride.

In terms of suspension, the Goan Classic 350 has a 41mm telescopic front fork for better handling and smoother bump absorption on the road. It is equipped with twin rear shock absorbers that provide balanced and responsive rear-end performance, allowing the rider to handle a variety of terrains with ease. For braking, the bike uses disc brakes at both ends, supported by Dual Channel ABS.
In an innovative move for the 350cc market, the Goan Classic 350 gets distinctive white-wall tyres from Ceat, which adds to its retro bobber-inspired look. These tyres are mounted on spoked rims designed to accommodate tubeless tyres, offering both style and practicality. The front wheel measures 19-inch, while the rear one is 16 inches, a slight reduction from the Classic 350's 18-inch rear wheel.
Design-wise, the Goan Classic 350's low-slung stance evokes the spirit of a bobber-style bike, giving it a calm and laid-back appearance. The mini-ape hanger handlebars offer a comfortable, upright riding position, while the single-seat arrangement adds to its minimalist appeal.
A pillion seat is also an option for the Goan Classic 350, and it can be easily installed at the bottom of the rider's seat. The Goan Classic 350 is equipped with several tech-savvy features, including a gear position indicator and a Tripper navigation pod for turn-by-turn directions. It also boasts a digital-analogue console that combines traditional and modern elements for easy access to key riding data. For added convenience, the bike includes a USB Type-C charging port.
