It includes a lowered rider seat for a relaxed riding position, a mini ape hanger handlebar for enhanced comfort and aesthetics, and a distinctive slash-cut silencer end.

The bike also features LED headlamps and blinkers, ensuring modern functionality within its retro-inspired design. These elements collectively enhance the Goan Classic’s stance as a stylish, lifestyle-focused bobber in Royal Enfield’s lineup.

      Royal Enfield continues to captivate motorcycle enthusiasts with exciting developments in its mid-capacity range. The latest spy shots of a new faired motorcycle, likely based on the Continental GT 650, bring fresh intrigue as the brand explores expanding its offerings. Adding to the excitement, this is likely the first Royal Enfield which will be powered by a larger 750cc engine.

      Latest spy shots are credited to automotive enthusiasts Daniel M and Matthews, who managed to spot this new motorcycle in Chennai. This new motorcycle, which could be positioned as a sportier iteration of the Continental GT 650, features several key updates.

      The most noticeable change is the fairing, which is more substantial and extends lower than the bikini fairing seen on earlier test mules. This new design not only adds visual appeal but also hints at improved aerodynamics and potential touring capabilities. The fairing integrates turn indicators, and the front continues to sport the signature circular LED headlight, maintaining the brand’s classic aesthetic.
      The test bike is equipped with sporty clip-on handlebars that promise a committed, cafe racer riding position. The longer seat design indicates an added focus on rider and pillion comfort for extended rides. Alloy wheels, a black exhaust, and tubeless tyres further enhance the bike’s modern appearance and performance attributes.

      The dual front disc setup is also visible, which could mean improved braking efficiency and a move towards enhanced safety. The presence of a concealed digital display unit inside the fairing points to a sleeker cockpit design.

      Potential Upgrade: 750cc Engine Development
      One of the most exciting developments is the potential introduction of a 750cc parallel-twin engine. It has been rumoured since a few years now that Royal Enfield has been working on increasing the displacement of its existing 650cc engine to 750cc. This new powertrain is expected to deliver more power than the current 46 bhp output, providing an even more thrilling ride.

      The latest Royal Enfield motorcycle spied here, is carrying a new engine casing, which is likely to be the 750cc and not the 650cc on offer currently. This test mule features dual front brake discs—a first for Royal Enfield—indicating that the brand may be exploring component testing to match the increased power of the 750cc engine.

      A Broader 650cc and 750cc Lineup
      This new faired model will join Royal Enfield’s robust 650cc lineup, which includes the Continental GT 650, Interceptor 650, Super Meteor 650, Shotgun 650, Bear 650, and the recently showcased Classic 650. If the faired model receives the new 750cc engine, it would set a new benchmark for performance in Royal Enfield’s portfolio. The current 650cc twin engine is already celebrated for its refinement, smooth NVH levels, and torque-rich delivery, and the larger 750cc variant is expected to enhance these attributes further.

      Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 – What’s different?
      New Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 will feature distinctive elements that make it stand out among other 350cc motorcycles from Royal Enfield. For example, the bike will be getting whitewall tyres which were a popular choice during the 1950s and 1960s. Their use was quite common across both cars and motorcycles. Brands like Harley-Davidson and Indian had used these tyres for several of their products.
      Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber Spied
      Whitewall tyres enhance the retro vibes of the bobber-style Goan Classic 350. Enthusiasts who prefer a vintage look and feel will surely be interested in the new Royal Enfield bike. As of now, whitewall tyres are quite rare to be spotted with modern motorcycles. Other changes include a new “U” handlebar that better suits the needs of a bobber-style motorcycle.
      Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 has a ground clearance of 170 mm. It will come with a rider-only seat as standard. A pillion seat will be available as an accessory, along with the supporting kit needed to mount it at the rear. The setup can be similar to that of the pillion seat option available with Shotgun 650. With the rider-only seat, Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 has a kerb weight of 197 kg. With the pillion seat and supporting frame, the weight of the bike will increase by around 9 kg.
      Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber
      Parts borrowed from Classic 350
      Most other features of Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 will be the same as Classic 350. Some of the key highlights include a circular headlamp (probably LED) and rear-view mirrors, tear-drop fuel tank and broad fenders at front and rear. Suspension setup comprises conventional telescopic forks at front and dual rear shock absorbers. While spoked wheels will be better suited for the bobber-style Goan Classic 350, Royal Enfield may provide the option of alloy wheels as well.
      Wheel sizes could be similar to Classic 350 – 19-inch front and 18-inch rear. Braking setup is expected to have 300 mm and 270 mm discs at front and rear, respectively. The twin downtube spine frame will be similar to other 350cc Royal Enfield motorcycles. Powering Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 will be the same 349cc, single-cylinder, air-oil cooled engine that generates 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm of torque. It is mated with a 5-speed constant mesh gearbox.

      Goan Classic 350 – Price estimate
      Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 will be marketed as a lifestyle product and could command a slightly higher pricing in comparison to Classic 350. This can be especially true for the top variants of Goan Classic 350. For reference, Classic 350 single-channel ABS variants start at Rs 1.93 lakh. The top variant is available at Rs 2.30 lakh.

      Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber Spied With Windshield – Standard Or Accessory?

      by

      Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber SpiedThis upcoming Bobber style motorcycle from Royal Enfield will be powered by the same 350cc engine with around 20.7 bhp and 27 Nm
      While they have already conquered the premium 300cc to 500cc motorcycle segment, Royal Enfield is on the verge of fortifying it further. Leaving no wiggle room to catch up, if we may. The company’s 350cc portfolio is already expansive and will witness a new entrant in the form of Classic 350 Bobber (name not confirmed).
      This motorcycle has been spotted testing and the latest spy shots show the bike in more detail. For starters, the camouflage is gone, suggesting that the launch might be nearing. When launched, it might emerge as the more quirky and youthful version of Royal Enfield’s 350cc portfolio. Let’s take a look.
      Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber
      Classic 350 Bobber Spied Again
      Royal Enfield has a slew of 350cc motorcycles in its arsenal. These include the utterly retro Bullet 350, darling of the sales charts Classic 350, most affordable Hunter 350 and the touring-friendly Meteor 350. These four motorcycles have bolstered Royal Enfield’s image as the best-selling classic bike manufacturer of all time.
      Now, there will be a 5th 350cc Royal Enfield and it will be a Bobber-style motorcycle. Name is not confirmed yet. But speculations suggest possibilities like Classic 350 Bobber, Goan Classic 350, Goan 350, and Bobber 350 among others.
      Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber
      Bobber 350 from Royal Enfield will be a friendlier take on a long-distance cruiser, based on Classic 350. While there is RE’s resident cruiser, Meteor 350, upcoming Bobber 350 has a lot of perks and is a style statement along with being functional. For starters, we get a massive “U” handlebar that is a standout element. This lends a lot of comfort on longer journeys.
      The style statement comes from a single-seat approach with an optional pillion seat. Bobbers are primarily known for this approach. Now, we get to see a very tall windscreen on the latest test mules too. This would be a godsend for long-distance cruisers to deflect wind and protect riders from wind blasts. This windshield might be an accessory, instead of being standard fitment.
      Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber
      What to expect?
      Other notable element seen on this test mule is a white-walled tyre, which is a proper retro touch. Royal Enfield must have collaborated with a local tyre manufacturer to source these white-walled tyres. Unlike the Classic 350, Bobber 350 doesn’t get a pea-shooter exhaust. Instead, it gets a normal unit finished in Black. Wheelbase is likely to be the same as Classic 350, unlike traditional Bobber bikes.
      Bobber 350 gets alloy wheels, which will be a boon against punctures. Instrument cluster might be the same as Classic 350 along with LED headlights, tail lights and turn indicators. Powertrains-wise, Bobber 350 will get the same 349cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine with 20.7 bhp of peak power and 27 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. More

      Royal Enfield Classic 650 UnveiledWith the new Classic 650, Royal Enfield has unveiled their 6th 650cc motorcycle with more offerings to come in the future
      Ever since the launch of Interceptor 650 and GT Continental 650, Royal Enfield has held the 500cc+ motorcycle segment tightly in its grasp with around 85% to 90% market share. Super Meteor 650 and Shotgun 650 further added to the sales. Now, Royal Enfield has launched Interceptor Bear 650 and unveiled Classic 650 to further broaden the horizon.
      The new Classic 650 is expected to single-handedly dominate the company’s 650cc portfolio like Classic 350 has done with the 350cc portfolio. The timeless design with retro charm and raw beauty is the primary strength of Classic 650. Launch is likely to happen soon and pricing will be lower than that of Super Meteor 650 and Shotgun 650.

      Royal Enfield Classic 650 Unveiled
      With Classic 650, Royal Enfield aims to provide Classic 350 owners a worthy upgrade, while still offering the same design. This is an incredible feat to achieve and Royal Enfield has done it beautifully. Classic 650 looks exactly like Classic 350, but the timeless design has been proportionally ported over to the larger size.
      At passing glance, Classic 650 looks like a Classic 350. But that’s deliberate as the design is what sells the Classic brand and has turned Royal Enfield’s fortunes around. From the looks of it, Classic 650 might very well be one of the prettiest middle-weight retro motorcycles on sale in the world. It weighs 243 kg, though.
      Classic 650 Unveiled
      Unlike the just launched Interceptor Bear 650, Classic 650 is based on the same chassis as Super Meteor 650 and Shotgun 650. While those two motorcycles pack in more premium componentry like USD Telescopic front forks, Classic 650 stays relatively simpler in terms of components with 43mm RSU telescopic front forks.
      Classic 650 Unveiled
      Rear suspension is taken care of by twin shock absorbers. Instrument cluster of Classic 650 is similar to Classic 350 and gets a Tripper Screen as standard that supports Bluetooth connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation. The exhaust setup is similar to Super Meteor 650 and Shotgun 650 with two tail pipes.
      Classic 650 Unveiled
      Specs and Features
      Classic 650 has LED headlights with a visor, LED tail lights and LED turn indicators. There are single tone and dual tone colours including chrome finishes. Braking setup is handled by single discs at both ends with dual-channel ABS as standard. There are single seater and pillion seat options for buyers to choose from.
      Classic 650 Unveiled
      Powertrain is the same 648cc parallel-twin oil-cooled motor that offers relaxed touring with sufficient torque reserves for quick overtakes. Performance metrics include 46.3 bhp of peak power and 52.3 Nm of peak torque, mated to a slipper clutch and a 6-speed gearbox. India launch is expected soon. More

      Royal Enfield Himalayan Electric 2.0 Showcased At EICMA – New Motor, Battery

      by

      Royal Enfield Himalayan Electric 2.0 ConceptWith the showcase of Royal Enfield Himalayan Electric 2.0 concept at EICMA 2024, the company is flexing its interest to e-mobility
      Being among the best-selling classic and retro motorcycle manufacturers in the world, Royal Enfield has built on nostalgia and past heritage. However, the company is equally invested into the future with electrification and sustainability being among the concerns shared.
      In that regard, Royal Enfield just debuted its Flying Flea lineup at EICMA 2024. However, there was another showcase at EICMA 2024 and it was a second iteration of electric Himalayan concept showcased at EICMA 2023. Called Himalayan Electric 2.0, this motorcycle debuts a new and improved battery and motor.
      Royal Enfield Himalayan Electric 2.0
      Royal Enfield Himalayan Electric 2.0
      With the launch of Himalayan 411, Royal Enfield established itself as a dominant player in India’s mainstream ADV sector. This segment had only witnessed lower capacity offerings from Hero MotoCorp and soon became an instant hit. The Himalayan 450 built on this bike’s legacy and unlocked better highway cruising capability.
      Last year at EICMA 2023, Royal Enfield showcased HIM-E concept, an electrified ADV motorcycle under the Himalayan sub-brand. It featured a large battery element where a typical fuel tank and engine would go and powered a mid-mounted electric motor that propels the rear wire-spoke wheels shod with off-road tyres.
      Himalayan Electric 2.0
      The formula with new Himalayan Electric concept showcased at EICMA 2024 is the same as last year. However, it now features iterative updates making it a better product technologically than last year’s concept. It has to be noted that there might be a couple of iterations in the future to reach production phase.
      Himalayan Electric 2.0 is visually more related to Himalayan 450 on sale, unlike the too futuristic looking HIM-E Concept showcased last year. The seat is not shaped like a fuel tank this time around and lends a non-conventional appeal. Below the flat-ish seat, we have the massive battery pack and a mid-mounted motor.
      Himalayan Electric 2.0
      What are the changes?
      Tank brace for jerrycans and other accessories is redesigned and is finished in White, as opposed to last year’s Red. Headlights are LEDs and USD front forks are finished in a Gold shade. Tall windscreen, round ORVMs, tall seat height, high ground clearance, and relatively clean tail section are notable elements.
      Notably, Royal Enfield Himalayan Electric 2.0 concept has an electronically controlled suspension setup, single disc brake at either end, Gold colour wire-spoke rims, a purposeful design and a lot of road presence. As per the company, the battery and motor on this concept are all new. More
