Royal Enfield Bobber 350: What To Expect?
In the 350 cc bike category, Royal Enfield is introducing its fifth model, and there are some interesting features to note. Unlike the current 350cc bikes, the Bobber might come with a standard LED headlight, which is a modern touch. If you take a closer look, you'll also notice white-walled tires on both the front and rear wheels. These are mounted on spoke wheels, which are similar to what you find on the Bullet, Hunter, and Classic models. However, Royal Enfield might also provide alloy wheels as optional accessories.
What sets this Bobber apart is the extra chrome it flaunts, especially on the engine and the exhaust system. Another distinctive feature is the rear floating seat unit, which appears to be exclusive to the Bobber and may even be removable. Furthermore, the handlebar stands out for its taller design, creating a comfortable riding position when combined with the forward-positioned footpegs. So, even if you're not a bike enthusiast, these unique details make the Bobber an intriguing addition to Royal Enfield's lineup.

The upcoming Royal Enfield Bobber 350 is set to make quite an entrance. It might come equipped with a twin-pod instrument console, featuring the handy Tripper Navigation system. However, considering Royal Enfield's recent trends, it's possible that this navigation feature could be an optional add-on rather than a standard feature.
Royal Enfield Bobber 350: Powertrain And Expected Price
Now, let's talk about what's under the hood. The Bobber 350 will share its platform with Royal Enfield's current lineup. This means it will inherit the same J-series 349cc single-cylinder engine found in models like the Classic 350, the new Bullet 350, Hunter 350, and the Meteor 350. This engine packs a punch with 20.2bhp and 27Nm of torque, mated to a five-speed gearbox. However, to fit the Bobber style, the chassis might receive some tweaks and adjustments.
While it is expected that the Bobber 350 will be priced at approximately Rs. 2 lakh when it becomes available in showrooms, Royal Enfield may make an official announcement about this by the end of the year.
Verdict
The Royal Enfield Bobber 350 appears set to bring a unique and stylish option to the 350 cc category. Having modern touches like LED lights and the potential for Tripper Navigation as an option is a welcome step forward. It will be in competition with models like the Yezdi Roadster, Benelli Imperiale 400, Honda H'ness CB350, and the Jawa 42.
