The Enfield inked its name in the history books 2 years ago when they last launched 4 new models that is improbable to be rewritten 2 years ago. They have received pre-bookings over 8,000 units and took over 6 months to deliver. Here they come again in 2 days to launch another new model. Are we going to see something again like that again this time? This would take quite some thinking.

Royal Enfield through its local distributor Royal Enfield Bangladesh – IFAD Motors Limited launched 4 new models in 2024 that are Classic 350, Hunter 350, Bullet 350 and Meteor 350. After creating a huge buzz around the country and delivering over 12,000 bike in just a few months, slowly Enfield lost its blaze in the market (Please read our Headlight section https://vulcanfastlane.com/royal-enfield-one-season-wonder/ )and it now feels like the gun is operating without much ammunition.

Through a social post, Royal Enfield has announced to launch a new model again but no details have been shared. However Vulcan Fastlane team has learned that the probable model is Goan Classic 350. This is a premium, bobber style motorbike that would interest classic bikers more than the mass. The expected price we have researched on should be around 4-4.5 lacs.
