Royal Enfield, the iconic motorcycle manufacturer renowned for its retro-classic designs, has launched the Goan 350, a stylish new addition to its growing portfolio. This Bobber-style motorcycle blends vintage charm with modern features, offering a ride that’s both nostalgic and contemporary. The Goan 350 is priced at ₹2.35 lakh for the single-tone colour variants and ₹2.38 lakh for the dual-tone versions, making it a premium offering in Royal Enfield’s 350cc lineup.
A Nod to Goa’s Spirit
Named after the lively, colourful state of Goa, the Royal Enfield Goan 350 is designed to reflect the region’s youthful energy, boldness, and vibrant culture. Goa is famous for its beaches, festivals, and laid-back lifestyle, and the Goan 350 captures that spirit with its eye-catching, modern Bobber styling. With features like mini ape hanger handlebars, slash-cut exhausts, and striking colour schemes, this motorcycle is as much about expression as it is about performance.
The motorcycle’s unique graphics and painted wire-spoke wheels make it stand out in the Royal Enfield lineup, combining retro elements with a contemporary twist. The Goan 350 is available in four colour options, giving riders plenty of choices to reflect their personal style.
Powered by Royal Enfield’s Reliable J-Series Engine
Under the stylish exterior, the Goan 350 is powered by Royal Enfield’s renowned 349cc J-Series engine, the same engine found in other popular models like the Classic 350, Meteor 350, and Hunter 350. This air-cooled, single-cylinder engine churns out 20.2 bhp of peak power and 27 Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a 5-speed gearbox, offering smooth, efficient power delivery suitable for both city commutes and long highway rides.
With the same powertrain as its siblings, the Goan 350 promises reliability, performance, and the classic Royal Enfield riding experience. Whether you’re cruising along coastal roads or navigating through city traffic, the Goan 350 is designed to provide an engaging and comfortable ride.
Modern Features for a Contemporary Ride
Although the Goan 350 maintains its retro-inspired looks, it’s packed with modern features to enhance the riding experience. One of the standout additions is the LED headlight and turn indicators, offering better visibility and safety, especially during nighttime rides. The instrument cluster is equipped with a spot for RE’s Tripper Screen, a navigation tool that connects with your smartphone and guides you to your destination with ease.
The rider-only seat ensures that the Goan 350 adheres to the Bobber genre, with its minimalist design and emphasis on solo riding. The mini ape hanger handlebars paired with a lower seat height offer a new, more relaxed riding position compared to other motorcycles in the 350cc range, making the Goan 350 a great option for riders looking for comfort with style.
Comfort and Control: A Closer Look at the Chassis
The Goan 350 shares its chassis and suspension setup with the Classic 350, but with added styling flourishes like white-wall tyres that give it a distinctive look. The motorcycle features RSU telescopic front forks and twin shock absorbers at the rear, providing a comfortable and stable ride, even on rougher terrains.
For safety, the Goan 350 is equipped with dual-channel ABS and single disc brakes at both ends, ensuring superior braking performance and control. These features, coupled with the motorcycle’s reliable suspension system, make the Goan 350 an excellent choice for riders seeking both style and substance.
Pricing and Availability
The Goan 350 is available in four different colour options, with pricing as follows:
- Single-tone colours: ₹2.35 lakh (ex-showroom)
- Dual-tone colours: ₹2.38 lakh (ex-showroom)
This places the Goan 350 at the higher end of the 350cc Royal Enfield range, but the motorcycle’s unique design, modern features, and exceptional build quality justify its premium pricing.
