Royal Enfield Bobber 350 India Launching Soon

It is no secret that Royal Enfield is working on a new Bobber motorcycle based on the J platform as many test mules have been spotted in the recent past. However, patent images of the Royal Enfield Bobber 350 have surfaced online, raising speculations that it might be launched in the Indian market soon. The upcoming Royal Enfield Bobber 350 is not a completely new motorcycle but rather a variant based on the Classic 350.

What will set the Bobber 350 apart are the various design elements, such as the taller handlebars and slightly forward footpeg to give it a distinct riding position. Other visual differences include split support rails, whitewall tires and different seats. The seating setup appears to be similar to the Shotgun 650 where the rear seat can be removed. This was also the case with the original Royal Enfield Classic 500, which was offered as a single-seater variant. In terms of features, the Classic 350 Bobber appears to have the same instrument cluster as its roadster sibling.

Mechanically, the Bobber 350 will feature the same 350cc engine as all J-Platform bikes. It will be interesting to see if the engineers at Royal Enfield go for a more relaxed tune as seen on the Classic/Bullet 350 or a sportier tune like the Meteor 350. The air-cooled single cylinder engine delivers 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm and it is engaged. to a 5-speed gearbox. Even the chassis, suspension and braking components are likely to be common with the Classic 350.

While there is no official announcement from Royal Enfield, we expect the upcoming Bobber 350 to make its debut in India by June 2024. In terms of price, the Royal Enfield Bobber 350 will be positioned between the Classic 350 and the Meteor 350.
