Royal Enfield Classic 350 Buoy with Windshield

This upcoming Royal Enfield Bobber style motorcycle will be powered by the same 350cc engine producing around 20.7 bhp and 27 Nm

Although Royal Enfield has already conquered the high-end motorcycle segment of 300cc to 500cc, they are about to further consolidate this segment. Leave no room for pursuit if you can. The company’s 350cc product portfolio is already rich and will witness a new addition in the form of the Classic 350 Bobber (name not confirmed).

The motorcycle has been spotted testing and the latest spy shots show the bike in more detail. First, the camouflage is gone, suggesting a launch may be imminent. Once launched, it is likely to be the quirkier and younger version of Royal Enfield’s 350cc portfolio. Let’s take a look.

Classic 350 Bobber Rediscovered

Royal Enfield has a large range of 350cc motorcycles. These include the completely retro Bullet 350, the darling Classic 350 on the sales charts, the most affordable Hunter 350 and the travel-friendly Meteor 350. These four motorcycles cement Royal Enfield’s image as the best-selling classic bike manufacturer of all time.

Now, there will be the fifth 350cc Royal Enfield motorcycle and it will be a Bobber style motorcycle. The name has not yet been confirmed. But speculations suggest that there may be Classic 350 Bobber, Goan Classic 350, Goan 350 and Bobber 350 etc.

Royal Enfield’s Bobber 350 will be a long-distance cruiser based on the Classic 350 and more user-friendly. While RE’s resident cruiser, the Meteor 350, is about to be launched, the upcoming Bobber 350 has a lot going for it and embodies style as well as functionality. First, we get a massive “U” shaped handlebar, which is a prominent element. This brings a lot of comfort for long journeys.

This style statement comes in single-seater form with optional rear seats. Bobbers are primarily known for this approach. Now, we also see a very tall windshield on the latest test mule. For a long distance cruiser this would be a godsend, deflecting the wind and protecting passengers from gusty winds. This windshield may be an accessory rather than standard.

what happens?

Another noteworthy element seen on this test mule are the whitewall tires, which are a proper throwback touch. Royal Enfield is definitely working with local tire manufacturers to source these whitewall tires. Unlike the Classic 350, the Bobber 350 does not have a peashooter exhaust. Instead, it got a black regular unit. Unlike traditional Bobber bikes, the wheelbase may be the same as the Classic 350.

The Bobber 350 features alloy wheels that help prevent punctures. The instrument cluster is likely to be the same as the Classic 350, with LED headlights, taillights and turn indicators. In terms of power system, the Bobber 350 will be equipped with the same 349cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine with a peak power of 20.7 horsepower and a peak torque of 27 Nm, paired with a 5-speed gearbox.
