KUALA LUMPUR: The Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350, inspired by the stripped-down and ‘tripped-up’ creations of Goa’s custom builders, has been launched by Didi Group Malaysia.
The motorcycle is available in four vibrant single and dual-toned colourways, priced at RM25,200 (Shack Black or Purple Haze) and RM25,500 (Trip Teal or Rave Red).
All the motorcycles come with unlimited mileage warranty.
The Goan Classic 350 is a tribute to the kaleidoscope of self-expression that formed India’s unique Goan moto-culture.
It is a child of the freewheeling counterculture that emerged in Goa in the seventies and eighties - a four-stroked, sun-soaked hippie machine.
It is powered by a 349cc air-oil-cooled, single-cylinder engine that makes 20.2bhp at 6,100rpm and 27Nm of torque at 4,000rpm.
This engine is tuned for smooth, unhurried performance, ideal for the laid-back nature of bobber riding.
The five-speed gearbox allows for easy shifts and relaxed cruising.
Built on a twin downtube spine frame, the motorcycle offers a smooth and stable ride.
Its telescopic front suspension with 41mm forks and twin rear shock absorbers ensures the right balance between comfort and control.
The edge-laced 19-inch front and 16-inch rear aluminium spoke wheels and whitewall tubeless tyres provide excellent grip, while dual-channel ABS with 300mm front and 270mm rear disc brakes offer enhanced stopping power.
The relaxed riding posture, mid-mounted foot controls, and ergonomic handlebars make long rides comfortable and enjoyable.
The Goan Classic 350 comes with an easy bolt-on arrangement pillion seat, allowing the rider to switch between single and dual seat configurations.
Its dashboard includes a gear position indicator and the Tripper navigation pod for turn-by-turn directions.
A USB Type-C charging port allows riders to stay connected on the go.
The motorcycle features LED lighting, including headlamps, pilot lamps, and turn indicators, improving visibility while enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
Royal Enfield business head for Asia Pacific markets Manoj Gajarlawar said, “The Goan Classic is a heartfelt tribute to the spirit of freedom and individuality that Royal Enfield has championed for decades."
Didi Group Malaysia chairperson Rewi Hamid Bugo added, “The Goan Classic 350 represents a lifestyle built around freedom, individuality, and self-expression.”
Meanwhile, Royal Enfield is collaborating with Rafu’D to bring a collection that draws inspiration from the hippie counterculture of the 70s and 80s.
Oversized shirts, breezy trousers, and playful accessories like bucket hats and totes offer a style that’s effortlessly cool.
The new Goan Classic arrives with a range of bespoke, bobber-inspired Genuine Motorcycle Accessories (GMAs).
This includes a custom rider seat, handlebar grips, bar-end mirrors, touring screen, touring handlebar, deluxe foot pegs, and foot control rubbers — all designed in custom-brown shades.
Royal Enfield Malaysia will be hosting a Goan Classic Open House on May 29 – 30 (Batu Caves dealership).
