[New motorcycle model] Royal Enfield Announces New "GOAN CLASSIC 350" for 2026! Easier to Handle with Newly Adopted Slipper Clutch

PCI has announced the 2026 model "GOAN CLASSIC 350" from Royal Enfield. Pre-orders will begin on Thursday, July 23, 2026, with sales starting Friday, July 31, 2026. The manufacturer's suggested retail price starts from 800,800 yen (including tax).

Improved Comfort and Stability with Assist & Slipper Clutch

Royal Enfield has announced the 2026 model of the "GOAN CLASSIC 350," a popular bobber-style custom motorcycle. The biggest highlight of this minor model change is the newly adopted assist & slipper clutch.

This new feature significantly reduces clutch lever effort, lessening rider fatigue in city riding and traffic jams. Furthermore, it mitigates the impact of sudden engine braking during downshifts, preventing rear-wheel hop and enhancing riding stability.

As a practical update, the USB Type-C charging port located below the clutch lever has been upgraded to support fast charging. This allows for quicker charging of devices like smartphones, further improving convenience during touring.

The basic frame and engine are shared with the company's flagship model, the "CLASSIC 350." The 349cc air-oil cooled single-cylinder engine produces a maximum output of 20.2 PS and a maximum torque of 27 Nm, offering strong and smooth acceleration from low RPMs.

The combination of the "Mini-Ape Handlebar" and the lowest seat height in the Royal Enfield lineup at 750mm provides a relaxed and comfortable riding position. The 19-inch front and 16-inch rear tubeless wheels are fitted with whitewall tires, creating a modern classic aesthetic.
