Over the years, Royal Enfield has expanded its lineup with new models that blend tradition and innovation. Some builds are extensions of existing platforms, while others introduce entirely new concepts. The Goan Classic 350, though not a completely new motorcycle, brings a refreshing twist to the much-loved Classic 350. From aesthetics to mechanics, Royal Enfield has introduced several updates to craft the Goan avatar. To experience this exciting addition, we spent a day riding the bike along the scenic roads of Goa. Here’s what we discovered about this vibrant new offering.
Aesthetic Appeal
Royal Enfield’s recent focus on experimenting with paint schemes is evident in the Goan Classic 350. Following color customization seen in models like the Himalayan 450 and Guerrilla 450, the Goan Classic introduces four striking options: Purple Haze, Rave Red, Shack Black, and Trip Teal. Each scheme exudes character and showcases meticulous attention to detail.
The bike’s design elements are equally eye-catching. A tall ape-hanger handlebar, bobbed tail section, bullet-style indicators, and white-walled tires combine to create a retro-modern aesthetic. The rims, painted to match the body color, and a brushed aluminum finish add to its visual charm. Subtle touches, like the Goan Classic 350 badge on the seat and the brushed-finished air-filler valve on the rims, elevate its premium feel.
From the paint quality to the welds and neatly embedded logos, the build quality is a step above the standard Classic 350. The Goan Classic 350 is more than just a motorcycle; it’s a statement piece—perfect for leisurely weekend rides or even as a showpiece under warm indoor lighting.
Performance and Features
Built on the trusted platform of the Classic 350, the Goan Classic retains the same 349cc single-cylinder engine. Delivering 20.2bhp at 6,100rpm and 27Nm of torque at 4,000rpm, the engine is paired with a five-speed gearbox for a smooth riding experience.
The bike’s hardware is largely consistent with its predecessor, featuring telescopic front forks, dual rear springs, and disc brakes at both ends. However, the Goan Classic 350 brings a notable upgrade: cross-spoke wheels with tubeless tires. This innovation reduces the hassle of dealing with punctures and eliminates the need for tubes, offering riders greater convenience and cost savings.
Final Thoughts
With its captivating design and dependable performance, the Goan Classic 350 strikes a fine balance between style and practicality. It not only delivers the trusted Royal Enfield experience but also adds a touch of flair and modernity. Whether you’re cruising along the coast or admiring its craftsmanship in your garage, this bike promises to stand out as a bold and charming addition to Royal Enfield’s lineup.
