Royal Enfield Goan Bobber
The upcoming Goan Bobber will be based on the same platform as the Classic 350. It will boast a mini-ape style handlebar, and a raised pillion seat which seems to be a detachable unit or a part of the accessory, these style changes will give the motorcycle complete Bobber characteristics. The rider footpegs are expected to be a bit forward set to give a more comfortable riding posture. Other design characteristics such as the headlamp, fuel tank, tail lamp, indicators, and other elements will remain similar to the Classic 350.
The hardware of the motorcycle will also remain the same which will include telescopic front forks, dual-spring shock absorbers at the rear, and front and rear disc brakes with dual-channel ABS. To give it a more Bobber-friendly look and sound the brand might also change the exhaust of the motorcycle. The tyres on the motorcycle will be white-walled spoke wheels.
