Royal Enfield has introduced a new special edition of its popular retro motorcycle, the Classic 350 Gorkha Edition, priced at ₹2,10,684 (ex-showroom, New Delhi). Created as a tribute to the courage, heritage and traditions associated with the Gorkha Regiment of the Indian Army, this edition gives the familiar Classic 350 a distinctive military-inspired identity.
While the mechanical package remains unchanged, Royal Enfield has used exclusive colours, symbolic detailing and themed accessories to make this version stand apart from the standard Classic 350 lineup.
Classic 350 Receives a Distinctive Gorkha-Inspired Look
The most noticeable feature of the Classic 350 Gorkha Edition is its exclusive Gorkha Green paint scheme, which gives the motorcycle a rugged and understated appearance.
Adding to its unique identity is a special insignia featuring the iconic crossed Khukris, a symbol closely associated with the Gorkha Regiment. This detailing clearly separates the special edition from the other variants in the Classic 350 range.
The motorcycle continues to retain the timeless design elements that have made the Classic 350 so recognisable. These include the signature teardrop-shaped fuel tank, circular headlamp, wide mudguards and upright riding posture.
Royal Enfield has also retained chrome detailing on components such as the engine casing, exhaust and wire-spoke wheels. The chrome finish provides a striking contrast against the military-inspired green bodywork.

Familiar 349cc J-Series Engine Under the Tank
The Gorkha Edition may look different, but it continues with the same mechanical setup as the regular Classic 350.
Power comes from Royal Enfield’s 349cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled J-series engine, producing around 20.2 PS and 27 Nm of peak torque. The engine is paired with a 5-speed transmission.
Royal Enfield has not positioned this edition as a more performance-oriented version of the Classic 350. Instead, it retains the relaxed and smooth riding character that the motorcycle is known for.
For existing Classic 350 riders, the riding experience will therefore remain familiar, while new buyers get the option of choosing a version with a more distinctive visual personality.
Assist & Slipper Clutch and Type-C Charging Included
The Classic 350 Gorkha Edition also carries forward the updates introduced with the latest 2026 Classic 350 range.
These include an assist and slipper clutch, designed to offer smoother clutch operation and reduce the impact of aggressive downshifts. The motorcycle also gets a USB Type-C fast-charging port, adding a practical feature for riders who need to charge devices on the move.
However, these upgrades are not exclusive to the Gorkha Edition, as they are already available on the updated Classic 350 range.
Dedicated Gorkha Collection Adds to the Theme
Royal Enfield is taking the Gorkha-inspired concept beyond the motorcycle with the introduction of a dedicated Gorkha Collection.
The range includes riding gear and lifestyle merchandise inspired by regimental colours and design elements. This allows the company to extend the identity of the motorcycle into a broader lifestyle offering.
The approach fits well with the Classic 350 brand, which has always placed importance on heritage, individuality and personal expression alongside its mechanical package.
Another Special Addition to the Classic 350 Family
The Classic 350 remains one of Royal Enfield’s most iconic and popular motorcycles, and the Gorkha Edition gives buyers another distinctive option within the expanding lineup.
Rather than introducing additional power or major mechanical changes, Royal Enfield has focused on creating differentiation through its exclusive colour scheme, military-inspired symbolism and unique detailing.
Priced at ₹2.11 lakh (ex-showroom), the Classic 350 Gorkha Edition is positioned around the middle of the wider Classic 350 range. It is not being marketed as an ultra-premium performance variant, but rather as a special edition designed for buyers looking for a motorcycle with a stronger visual identity and a connection to the legacy and traditions that inspired its design.
