Royal Enfield launches Gorkha Edition of Classic 350 in Nepal

Royal Enfield has introduced a special Gorkha Edition of its Classic 350 motorcycle in Nepal, celebrating the nation's distinct identity. Alfa Automotive, the brand's official dealer, unveiled the new model in Kathmandu, with retired Chief of Army Staff Rajendra Bahadur Chhetri presiding over the event.

Meghraj Poudel, director at Alfa Automotive, emphasized that the "Gorkha" name signifies more than just a brand; it embodies Nepali bravery and discipline. The launch aims to honor this heritage alongside Royal Enfield's established legacy.

The Gorkha Edition largely mirrors the standard Classic 350 in design and mechanics. Its primary distinction lies in its "light military" olive-green paint scheme, complemented by special graphics and a prominent crossed-khukuri motif, a symbol closely associated with the Gorkha Regiment. Classic design elements such as wire-spoke wheels, round mirrors, and chrome accents on the exhaust and headlight are retained.

Under the hood, the motorcycle is powered by the same 349cc single-cylinder J-series engine, delivering 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed gearbox. It also features a semi-digital instrument cluster. The Classic 350 Gorkha Edition is priced at Rs 599,000 and follows its recent launch in the Indian market.
