A few days ago we reported about the Royal Enfield Classic 350 Gorkha Edition being spotted, and now the brand has officially launched the motorcycle in India. The new version brings a military inspired look to the familiar Classic 350 and carries the name of the Gorkha Regiment. It costs Rs 2.11 lakh ex-showroom New Delhi and bookings have started.
What makes the Gorkha Edition different?
The biggest change is the new Gorkha Green colour. It gives the motorcycle a strong army style appearance without making the Classic 350 look very different from the regular model.
The fuel tank carries a Gorkha Edition sticker, while the side panels feature the crossed Khukris. This is the official insignia associated with the Gorkha Regiment.
- Gorkha Green paint scheme
- Crossed Khukris insignia
- Gorkha Edition tank sticker
- Separate rider and pillion seats
- Round headlamp and teardrop fuel tank
- Upright riding position

Engine and mechanical details
There is no major change to the engine package. The motorcycle uses Royal Enfield’s 349cc J-series single cylinder engine. It produces 20.2bhp and 27Nm and works with a five speed gearbox.
The Gorkha Edition also gets the Assist and Slipper Clutch. A Type-C USB charging port is included too. The tripper pod is not fitted as standard, but buyers can get it as an accessory.
