Royal Enfield has officially rolled out the 2026 model year update for its factory-custom bobber, the Goan Classic 350. Staying true to its old-school charm, the update focuses not on styling changes but on improving everyday usability—a smart move for a motorcycle aimed at urban cruisers.
Prices remain unchanged, starting at ₹2.20 lakh (ex-showroom), keeping it firmly positioned as the most accessible factory-built bobber in India.

What’s New for 2026?
For 2026, Royal Enfield has added two practical upgrades that directly improve the riding experience.
Assist & Slipper Clutch
The biggest update is the introduction of an assist and slipper clutch, bringing the Goan Classic 350 in line with newer Royal Enfield offerings.
- Lighter clutch pull, especially helpful in city traffic
- Smoother downshifts with reduced rear-wheel hop
- Less rider fatigue during long or stop-and-go rides
Fast-Charging USB Port
The existing USB Type-C port has been upgraded to fast charging, allowing quicker smartphone charging for navigation and connectivity on the go.
2026 Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350: Price List
Royal Enfield continues with color-based pricing:
- Mono-tone variants: ₹2.20 lakh (ex-showroom)
- Dual-tone variants: ₹2.22 lakh (ex-showroom)
This slight premium is purely cosmetic, with no mechanical difference between variants.
Iconic Bobber DNA Remains Intact
The Goan Classic 350 still stands apart from the standard Classic 350 thanks to its unmistakable bobber styling.
Key Design Highlights
- Ape-hanger handlebars
- Low-slung stance with floating single seat
- Detachable pillion seat for solo riding aesthetics
- White sidewall tyres for authentic retro appeal
Tubeless Spoke Wheels
A major practicality win, the cross-spoke aluminium wheels support tubeless tyres, a rare and valuable feature in this segment.
Low Seat Height
With a 750 mm seat height, the Goan Classic remains one of the most beginner- and short-rider-friendly motorcycles in Royal Enfield’s lineup.
Engine & Performance Specifications
Power comes from the proven J-series 350cc engine, known for refinement and reliability.
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Engine | 349cc, air-oil cooled, single-cylinder |
| Power | 20.2 bhp @ 6,100 rpm |
| Torque | 27 Nm @ 4,000 rpm |
| Gearbox | 5-speed with slipper clutch |
| Fuel Tank | 13 litres |
| Brakes | Dual-channel ABS (300mm front / 270mm rear) |
This setup prioritizes relaxed cruising and smooth throttle response over outright speed—exactly what the bobber format demands.
Standard Features & Equipment
Despite its retro styling, the Goan Classic 350 is well-equipped:
- Tripper Navigation with turn-by-turn guidance
- Semi-digital instrument cluster
- All-LED lighting for better night visibility
- 170 mm ground clearance, suitable for Indian roads
GadiGarage Verdict
The 2026 Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 doesn’t reinvent the bobber formula—but it doesn’t need to. The addition of a slipper clutch significantly improves refinement, making daily rides easier while preserving the bike’s old-school character.
For riders who love the Classic 350’s mechanical reliability but want a bolder, factory-custom personality, the Goan Classic remains the most distinctive choice in the segment.
So, what do you think — does the slipper clutch make the Goan Classic 350 more appealing, or do you still prefer the raw, old-school feel?
