Royal Enfield Launches Classic 350 Gorkha Edition

The special-edition bike pairs regimental green and Khukri insignia with branded apparel to sell style rather than new performance.

Overview

  • Royal Enfield officially launched the Classic 350 Gorkha Edition and opened bookings on Tuesday, August 18, with an ex-showroom New Delhi price of about Rs 2.10–2.11 lakh.
  • The model is a cosmetic tribute that wears a Gorkha Green matte finish, bespoke crossed-Khukri insignia, a ‘Gorkha Edition’ tank badge and chrome wire-spoke wheels.
  • Mechanically the bike is unchanged from the Classic 350’s J-series 349cc single-cylinder package and 5-speed gearbox, but it includes the 2026 convenience updates of an Assist & Slipper clutch and a Type-C USB charging port.
  • Royal Enfield launched a complementary Gorkha Collection of helmets, boots, apparel and collectibles and positioned the release as a homage to the Gorkha Regiment with launch participation from company and brigade representatives.
  • The Gorkha Edition sits near the mid/upper part of the Classic 350 range so buyers are paying mainly for the themed finish and gear; the production bike keeps the semi-digital cluster and does not include a factory tripper navigation pod though that pod may be sold separately.
