It's a coin toss. Some are in the shop every month, some are bulletproof.

I've had mine great for commuting. It's not Japanese levels of refinement, though.

The old UCE is much more reliable than the new J-series engine. Big improvement.

It's old-school reliable. If something does go wrong, it’s easy to fix it yourself.
What will the ape hanger handlebars on the Goan Classic 350 do for long distance riding comfort?
09 January 2025 09:36
If you've ridden bikes with ape hangers before, I can say that they're not as bad as you might think for cruising. It also takes pressure off your lower back and your arms are relaxed.

Big time there's going to be suffering with long distance comfort. High bars may look cool, but they will turn you into a sail at highway speeds. It's going to be a real issue for wind fatigue.

It’s going to be one of those love it or hate it things. The upright position is more comfortable for long rides for some people, while other people will miss the more tucked in position of the standard bars.

I think it'll be fine for moderate distances, but anything over a couple of hours is going to wear me out. That means the key will be to find the right balance between style and practicality.

Most Goan Classic buyers aren’t going to be doing cross country tours. Let’s be real. For the casual weekend rider, those ape hangers will be more than comfortable and help to enhance the overall experience.

That is going to make the bike more comfortable in city traffic. A big plus for urban riding is being able to sit upright and see over cars.

The ape hangers might actually make for a more comfortable ride on bumpy roads. It's also nice on India's varied road conditions, as your arms act as natural shock absorbers in that position.
Will tubeless spoke wheels on the Goan Classic 350 be the first of many for Royal Enfield?
09 January 2025 09:36
I really hope so! The best of both worlds, tubeless spokes are classic with modern convenience. I just hope RE didn't leave this off other models.
Will tubeless spoke wheels on the Goan Classic 350 be the first of many for Royal Enfield?
09 January 2025 09:36
I'm skeptical. It may be that RE will want to keep this as a "premium" feature to offer on special editions, and therefore charge more for them. Even if it’s frustrating to consumers, it’s a smart business move.
Will tubeless spoke wheels on the Goan Classic 350 be the first of many for Royal Enfield?

This is about time RE offer this. We'll see it on the Bullet and other Classic variants within a year, I bet. They can't do that for too long without ignoring the demand.

It'll depend on how well the Goan Classic sells, I think. If it works, we'll definitely see tubeless spokes on other models. But if RE can't, it'll write it off as a failed experiment.

This could be RE testing the waters. Perhaps this is all part of testing the water using the Goan Classic to see how it goes, and iron out any kinks in a wider rollout.
