4 New Royal Enfield Bikes Coming Soon in India

Royal Enfield is expected to launch as many as four new motorcycles in India in the next 12 months. Here we provide an overview of these models

Royal Enfield is gearing up to launch new motorcycles in the 350cc, 450cc and 650cc segments. The popular Classic series is expected to see the arrival of the updated Classic 350, the Goan Classic 350 single seater and the modern retro 650cc roadster bearing the Classic nameplate. Additionally, the 450cc and 650cc ranges will be further enhanced. Here’s a detailed look at the four upcoming models:

1. Updated Royal Enfield Classic 350:

The Classic 350, powered by Royal Enfield’s J-series engine platform, has been well received by customers since its debut in 2021. The brand’s other 350cc models such as the Hunter 350, Bullet 350 and Meteor 350 have achieved impressive sales. These models are expected to undergo mid-life updates in the near future as well.

The Classic 350 is slated to receive a mid-cycle update in the next couple of months. This update will likely include new color options, revised graphics, and additional features. The current 349cc SOHC air-oil-cooled engine, which delivers just over 20PS and 27Nm of torque, will remain the same, along with a five-speed transmission.

2. Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350:

Royal Enfield is planning to introduce a single-seat bobber variant of the Classic 350, possibly called the Goan Classic 350 as the trademark has been filed. This model will feature a raised handlebar, whitewall tires and updated ergonomics compared to the standard version. The launch is expected to take place later this year at MotoVerse 2024 in Goa.

3. Royal Enfield Classic 650 Twin and Bullet 650:

The name Royal Enfield Classic 650 Twin has also been trademarked and will be used for the upcoming retro/modern 650cc roadster. Expected to debut in early 2025, it has already been spotted testing several times in India as well as Europe. It will be equipped with circular LED headlamp, one-piece seat, wire-spoked front and rear wheels, chrome accents, signature pilot lamps and so on.

The Royal Enfield Classic 650 Twin will feature a 648cc parallel twin engine that will produce 47PS of power and 52Nm of torque and will be mated to a six-speed transmission. It will borrow the subframe from the Shotgun 650. In the same vein, the Bullet 650 is expected to be launched in the second half of next year and will be heavily inspired by its 350cc Bullet sibling.
