Royal Enfield Bobber 350Thump and Rumble: Classic 350 Bobber’s Roaring Symphony, Handlebar HijinksWith the exception of a taller handlebar, Royal Enfield Bobber 350 doesn’t get a lot of Bobber-name-worthy elements and attributes. Of all recent Royal Enfield test mule appearances, Himalayan 450, Roadster 450, Scram 650, and Shotgun 650 (rumoured names) are more frequent. Also, Bullet 350, Classic 650 and other test mules have made multiple appearances. But Classic 350 Bobber sightings are less frequent.Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber was previously spied in April 2023. This is the second time, test mule spyshots have surfaced online. In the video, we can even hear the sweet and soft thump of its beating heart as well.Spy Games: Classic 350 Bobber Spied in ActionBobber 350 is essentially a Classic 350 with slight modifications. If we think in that direction, all 350cc Royal Enfield motorcycles emerge from the same base vehicle. In previous sightings, test mules revealed a single-seat layout.In the recent spy video, we see a double-seat model. So, Royal Enfield is likely to offer both seating variants. Or rear seat could be optional. Hey, it is supposed to be a Bobber. It is extremely similar to Classic 350. Wheelbase is not extended like that of a Bobber and riding dynamics should remain the same.[embedded content]There are differences, though. Headlight is still the same 7” round unit. But it now gets LEDs from factory, similar to the 650s. Tail lights and indicators seem to be similar to Classic 350’s, with LEDs instead of halogen bulbs. Instrument cluster is similar to Classic 350 and gets a Tripper Screen too.In terms of primary aesthetic differences, Classic 350 Bobber gets White-walled tyres. Previous test mules had White-walled tyres with a teal tint to them at both front and rear, while new test mules have fully white walls. Only, front white wall is dirty. Rear grabrail is new too and chunkier than Classic 350’s.Same DNA, Different Swagger: Classic 350 BobberThere is a single-sided exhaust and is different from Classic 350’s. It gets a black finish along with engine bay. Exhaust note is starkly similar to other J-Series motorcycles in the company’s portfolio. Main differences lie with ergonomics as there is a new handlebar. This new handlebar is the only Bobber element in the whole bike.Exhaust and rear white-walled tyreThis new handlebar enables an upright and relaxed posture which should help in mile munching (or km munching). Suspension is still RSU telescopic at the front and twin shock absorber at the rear. There are single-disc brakes at either ends and Dual-Channel ABS will be standard. Engine will be the same 349cc with 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. More

Motorcycle in the image is a Benelli 502C – For reference onlyRoyal Enfield is the leading two wheeler maker in the 350-500cc segment – They will launch a range of new motorcycles to maintain leadershipRoyal Enfield has plans to launch 4 new motorcycles every year. One of these new motorcycles will be the K1D. This is the codename of Royal Enfield’s upcoming power cruiser, which will be powered by the same engine that will power the upcoming Himalayan 450cc. Design sketch of the Royal Enfield K1D power cruiser has now leaked online. From what it looks like, it is a direct inspiration from Ducati Diavel, one of the OGs in the “power cruiser” genre.Royal Enfield K1D Power CruiserFor starters, it is likely that Royal Enfield will have a slightly different-looking motorcycle than the Ducati Diavel, Benelli Leoncino and Bajaj Dominar range. But pulled-back handlebars, front set footpegs, relaxed and ergonomically upright seating posture are most probable.Royal Enfield K1D Power Cruiser LeaksThis motorcycle will come off as muscular and will flash its muscle to dominate rivals (see what I did there?). Given that the single-cylinder 400cc to 500cc motorcycle genre has had a bit of an uproar in the recent past, Royal Enfield would logically consider launching it in this segment. It will go against Triumph Speed 400 and Harley-Davidson X440.What to expectRoyal Enfield’s new 450cc single-cylinder engine will go on a bunch of other products before gracing on this new power cruiser. As of now, this engine is speculated to produce around 40 bhp of power and 45 Nm of torque. A 6-speed gearbox and liquid-cooling setup seems to be evident.We hope it brings a large fuel tank. Probably 20L to 25L would be nice. Similar to the Thunderbird range of the past. Componentry could include USD front forks similar to Himalayan 450, rear mono-shock unit, alloy wheels, fat tyres, and more.If we take a look at brand’s 13 upcoming motorcycles from their annual report, they don’t have a power cruiser planned in it. It is highly likely to be a project for the next phase of launch. By this logic, the K1D Royal Enfield power cruiser could launch in 2025 or 2026.Source More

Royal Enfield Electric Bobber BuildWith around 5 kW of power from its rear hub motor, Royal Enfield Electric Bobber by Bulleteer Customs can travel 90 km on a single chargeElectric mobility is currently every automobile manufacturer’s future plan. The new wave of electric mobility is engulfing almost all automotive segments including 2W, 3W, 4W and even commercial trucks. Legacy motorcycle brands like Royal Enfield is also getting ready to enter this segment.Royal Enfield EVs launch is still some years in the future. But what if you wanted your old Bullet modified into an EV? An innovative marriage between old school and new age, isn’t it? Bengaluru-based Bulleteer Customs has done just that. Let’s take a look.With Owner and Maker Ricky from Bulleteer CustomsRoyal Enfield Electric BobberBulleteer Customs first showcased it at Royal Enfield Mania half a year ago. More recently, BikeWithGirl conversed with Ricky, owner and benefactor of this insane build. This is a custom motorcycle with Royal Enfield’s original chassis with modern electric powertrain.Even though it has ‘Gasoline’ written on its custom fuel tank for irony, this is a fully electric build. Donor vehicle is a 1984 Royal Enfield Standard, previously owned by Ricky’s father.[embedded content]The best thing about this motorcycle is not that it is electric. Instead, it is the attention to detail that Ricky has put into it. Battery cover is custom made to resemble a large engine with chrome finish fins. Ricky got this project done in less than a week.Royal Enfield Electric Bobber BuildThere is a large battery pack in the original chassis with candy red finish, where the engine used to be. Battery and motor controller are in its fuel tank. A 5 kW rear hub motor drives this vehicle. Battery takes 6 hours to fully charge and ekes out 90 km of range per charge.An absolute eye-candy!Because it is electric, it has a reverse function too. There are aggressive clip-on handlebars, machine-finished wheels, single disc setups at both ends, a custom instrument cluster unit, fat tyres, round headlights, and a lot of charisma and attitude about it. It looks so surreal and unreal at the same time.Royal Enfield Electric Bobber Build – ChargingRiding posture reminds me of Harley-Davidson Street Rod 750 with front-set footpegs like a cruiser and far-set handlebars like a track machine. BikeWithGirl asked Ricky what the cost would be to recreate a Royal Enfield Electric Bobber for customers with an old Bullet. He replied that there would be multiple choices in battery size and motor power. But a figure of around Rs. 3 lakh to 3.5 lakh is most probable, excluding donor vehicles cost. More
