Royal Enfield has recently unveiled the Goan Classic 350 and the bike shares its platform with the Classic 350. Let’s have a look at what’s different in the Goan Classic 350 which makes it stand apart:

Design

The Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 shares its design with the Royal Enfield Classic 350 in many ways. The Goan gets the same set of LED lights, front fender and the side panels. The most noticeable difference is the addition of an ape-style handlebar on the Goan. The handlebar is more upright which gives the Goan a more commanding posture. From the side, the Goan features a new exhaust. At the rear, the Goan gets a different looking fender which is attached directly to the swingarm and it gets a floating seat which elevates the appeal. The Goan Classic 350 is available in four funky colours: Purple Haze, Rave Red, Black Shack and Trip Teal while the Classic 350 comes in a total of eleven colours, which are a bit more conventional: Emerald, Stealth Black, Gun Grey, Commando Sand, Mediallon Bronze, Madras Red, Jodhpur Blue, Redditch Grey, Redditch Red Halcyon Black and Halcyon Green. 

Engine and Underpinnings

Both the motorcycles share the same engine, a 349cc single-cylinder air & oil-cooled engine which makes 20PS at 6,100rpm and 27Nm at 4,000rpm, and is paired to a 5-speed gearbox. They share the same double-cradle chassis, 300mm disc brake at the front and a 270mm disc brake at the rear, a telescopic fork and dual shock absorbers. The Goan’s rear suspension allows 105mm of wheel travel while the Classic only has 90mm at the rear. The Goan’s seat height has also been reduced to 750mm over the Classic’s 805mm to make it more accessible. The wheelbase has gone up by 10mm on the Goan which is now 1400mm. The Goan Classic 350 gets a 19/16-inch front and rear tubeless spoke wheels setup which the Classic continues with 19/18-inch tube spoke wheels. 

Features

The Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 and the Classic 350 share the same instrument console. It’s an analogue speedometer, a small digital inset for the odometer, trip meters and fuel gauge and a tripper navigation pod which shows turn-by-turn navigation. Both the motorcycles get adjustable brake and clutch levers, and dual-channel ABS. 

Price and Competitors

The Royal Enfield Classic 350 starts from Rs 1,93,080 to Rs 2,30,000 (both prices ex-showroom, Chennai). The price for the Goan Classic 350 will be announced on the 23rd of November and it will command a premium over the Classic 350. Once launched, the Goan Classic 350 will go against the likes of Jawa 42 Bobber and the Perak.
