Royal Enfield, a name that equals legacy, style, and unparalleled road presence, has again wooed bike enthusiasts with its new launch the Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350. Tailor-made to woo the young generation, particularly college-goers, this new model has married a vintage retro feel with a contemporary twist.
Daring to be priced competitively and with plenty of premium design cues, the Goan Classic 350 will surely make heads turn on Indian roads.
A Coastal Classic
The Goan Classic 350 is a limited edition of the much-loved Classic 350, Royal Enfield’s top-performing model. But while the Goan Classic inherits the performance of the Classic 350, it gets its inspiration from the free-flowing, colourful, and lively lifestyle of Goa.
Dressed in two-tone paint jobs, beach cruiser vibes, and sleek finishes, this model is crafted to entice the younger audience looking for personality in their vehicle. Whether you’re zipping along college roads or cruising city streets, the Goan Classic 350 makes you do it with style and authority.
Styling That Makes You Stand Out
The moment you glance at the Goan Classic 350, you can tell that Royal Enfield paid extra attention to design elements. This bike is sure to turn heads. Some of the most notable design features are:
- Dual-tone fuel tank with pinstriping
- Chrome-finished exhaust and rear – view mirrors
- Leather-textured single seat with contrast stitching
- Vintage round-shaped halogen headlamp
- Body-coloured mudguards
- Retro theme-inspired Goan badging
This premium appearance sets it apart from the regular Classic 350, and it looks like it’s made for college boys who desire a high-end bike without venturing into the highly aggressive sports category.
Engine and Performance
Beneath the retro look is a known and trusted engine the 349cc single-cylinder air-oil-cooled J-platform motor found on the regular Classic 350. The engine churns out:
- 20.2 bhp of power
- 27 Nm of torque
- Constant mesh 5-speed gearbox
The engine has been tuned for smooth delivery of torque and is ideal for city driving, the odd highway cruise, and daily commuting. The thump of Royal Enfield motorcycles is there, albeit smoother in this new version.
Ride Comfort and Handling
The Goan Classic 350 is not just about appearance. Royal Enfield has designed it for better riding comfort, considering particularly the youth who might drive it for everyday city rides and weekend weekend gateways.
- Front: 41 mm telescopic forks
- Rear: Twin gas-charged shock absorbers
- Ground clearance: 170 mm
- Kerb weight: Approx. 195 kg
Although the bike is heavy, the low-slung riding position and ergonomic seat provide good control and balance even for novice riders.

- Dual-channel ABS for enhanced safety

- LED taillight
- Optional Tripper Navigation Pod (Bluetooth-enabled turn-by-turn navigation)
