It was a motorcycle bonanza at this year’s Royal Enfield MotoVerse event in Vagator, Goa, with an array of concerts, custom bikes, and not one but two main updates. First up was the launch of the Goan Classic 350, a bobber-inspired twist on the iconic Classic. Hot on its heels was the Scram 440, unveiled ahead of its January 2025 launch.
Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 Launched At ₹2.35 lakh; Delivery, Booking, Power And More
The Goan Classic 350
Royal Enfield took its iconic Classic 350 and added a generous dose of Feni to it. Priced at ₹2.35 lakh (ex-showroom), the Goan Classic 350 gets a bobber-style swagger, finished with a solo seat (also available with a passenger seat), ape-style handlebars, tubeless spoke wheels, and forward-set footpegs. The colour options, meanwhile, are as vibrant and eclectic as the shirts you’d find in Anjuna’s flea markets.
At its heart is the same tried-and-tested 349cc J-platform engine seen in the Bullet, Meteor 350, Hunter, and the standard Classic. It delivers 21PS of power, and 27Nm of torque, and weighs in at 197kg—2kg heavier than the Classic 350. However, it borrows premium touches from its 650cc cousins, like metal switch cubes, and offers more rear suspension travel (105mm, compared to the Classic’s 90mm). The 750mm seat height and forward-set footpegs borrowed from the Meteor helps with its relaxed, cruiser-style aesthetic.
The Scram 440
While the Goan Classic is for the beachside, the Scram 440 is built for trails. Set to launch in January 2025, the Scram 440 packs a bored-out 443cc engine, now producing more power and torque at around 26PS/40Nm, paired with an all-new six-speed gearbox. Folks at RE also added that the new Scram will have less of a clutch-effort than the older model.
Helping on those said trails is the long-travel suspension, with a 43mm telescopic fork up front and gas-charged shocks at the rear. Its 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheels come wrapped in dual-purpose tyres. What’s interesting, though, is that RE will now offer a choice of tubeless tyres and alloy wheels, although the spoked wheels continue to be on offer. The company has also incorporated switchable ABS, which was missed on the older Scram. The new Scram also gets LED lighting and a compact, off-road-inspired design with a minimalist digital instrument cluster. Expect it to cost around ₹2.6 lakh (ex-showroom).
