The Dominar 400, featuring a 373.3cc liquid-cooled engine, will be deployed towards improving patrolling and emergency response services in the region. 

To meet law enforcement requirements, the units have been modified from their standard specifications. Technical additions include dual-channel ABS, traction control and electronic suspension adjustments to assist in high-speed operations and varying terrains.

The 'Police Model' Dominar 400 includes several integrated systems for communication and visibility:

• Communication: Public Address (PA) systems with push-to-talk radio transmission and sirens.
• Visibility: LED emergency lights for traffic management.
• Storage: Lockable side panniers and a top box for carrying forensic tools, documents and first-aid kits.
• Connectivity: GPS tracking systems and dedicated charging points for walkie-talkies and mobile devices.

Before being permanently allocated to the three departments for law enforcement duties, the motorcycles will serve as the official convoy for the Bajaj Pune Grand Tour 2026. This event covers a 437-km route through 150 villages and nine talukas, utilising recently upgraded road infrastructure in the Pune District.

Amitesh Kumar, Commissioner of Police, Pune, along with other high-ranking officials, received the fleet. The deployment is part of a broader trend of agencies adopting high-performance motorcycles to navigate urban and rural landscapes with greater speed.

Chennai-headquartered mid-sized motorcycle major Royal Enfield has launched the 2026 edition of the Goan Classic 350, introducing mechanical and functional updates to the bobber-styled motorcycle.

The updated motorcycle is now available at authorised stores across India, with prices starting from INR 219,787 (ex-showroom).

The 2026 edition features an assist-and-slipper clutch, designed to prevent rear-wheel hop during aggressive downshifts and reduce the force required to operate the clutch lever. Additionally, the integrated USB Type-C port has been upgraded to support faster charging for mobile devices.

The motorcycle retains the 349cc air-oil-cooled, single-cylinder engine, which produces 20.2 bhp at 6,100 rpm and 27 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. This power is delivered through a five-speed gearbox. The chassis maintains its bobber silhouette, characterised by mid-ape handlebars, chopper fenders, a slash-cut exhaust and a floating seat.

The Goan Classic 350 is fitted with whitewall edge-type aluminium tubeless spoke wheels, combining traditional aesthetics with modern tyre technology. The model is available in four colourways: Shack Black, Purple Haze, Trip Teal Green and Rave Red.
