Royal Enfield This is the magic of Royal Enfield and its tribute to the wildest motorcycle culture
Are you classic but wild? Here is the tribute that Royal Enfield has launched to Goa's 1970s motorcycle culture
Royal Enfield, a British brand, has drawn inspiration from the iconic motorcycle culture of Goa in the 1970s and 80s.
Imbued with its spirit, it has launched the Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 in Europe.
This is a motorcycle with bobber reminiscences that celebrates the free spirit and the desire to break with the conventions of the era.
The Goan Classic 350 is a tribute to the kaleidoscope of forms of personal expression that started a unique motorcycle culture: that of Goa.
It is the offspring of the anarchic movement that emerged in Goa in the 1970s and 80s. A hippie motorcycle under the sun, in a perpetual quest for self-discovery and self-liberation.
Fusion of movements
Every line of the RE Goan Classic is inspired by the unembellished creations of Goa's custom model builders.
These were motorcycles in which the spirit of a bobber was fused with the sense of freedom that permeated those splendid decades.
Some of its particular winks to all that can be found in the classic fender, "ape hanger" handlebars, low seat, or the rear silhouette.
These are details that attest to the spirit that drove motorcyclists of the time to do without everything unnecessary so their motorcycles would reflect their personality.
This motorcycle with bobber DNA is also characterized by a floating single seat, whitewall tires, and spoked wheels.
Classic-style engine
The single-cylinder 349 cc (21.3 cu in.) air-oil cooled engine is defined by showing a personality very much in line with that movement.
This engine has been calibrated to offer smooth and calm performance, designed for the relaxed nature of bobber riding.
Even the 5-speed gearbox helps make every journey a pleasurable and relaxing ride.
Stress-free suspensions
Its double cradle frame provides a calm and harmonious ride on any road, with simple suspensions using twin rear shock absorbers.
As we say, the cross-spoke wheels with red rim are made of aluminum; they accept tubeless tires, combining classicism and practicality.
Of course, the riding position is relaxed and features mid-height foot controls and handlebars in keeping with its style.
This very special Royal Enfield includes a passenger seat that is bolted on to choose between the single or double seat option.
The instrumentation features a gear indicator, Tripper Pod navigation system, and an accessible USB-C charging port.
LED lighting equipment is not missing, along with other high-quality details, such as aluminum switches.
European exclusivity
It is available in Europe with a limited edition in Trip Teal, a color inspired by the unique patterns of a mandala, with vivid tones that contrast orange with teal.
Also standing out are the chrome details and diagonally cut silencers, which give it an unmistakable bobber look. Its price is 5,287 euros.
If you are looking for even deeper customization, there is a range of exclusive original accessories with a strong bobber inspiration.
