If you are an automotive enthusiast, which most probably you are considering the fact that you are reading this review on our website, a brand called ‘Royal Enfield’ needs no introduction. So, without trying to weave tasteful phrases about the history of a brand which almost everybody seems to be knowing, we dvelve straight into the subject. Royal Enfield right now is in an enviable situation in which almost all its models are sold out for months together in advance. The Classic twins, launched in 350 and 500 variants, has been a phenomenal success and the waiting list to own one is still around 5 to 6 months. [click to continue…]
Royal Enfield has launched two new variants of the Classic 500. The Classic Chrome and Desert Storm are the latest variants of the Classic 500. The Classic 500 is one of the most desirable bikes and the new colour options make it all the more desirable. The changes are cosmetic and visual only but do a very good job in terms of visual appeal unlike other bike manufactures who come out with only stickering job and new colours. Engine option still remains the same, with power coming from the massive thumping 499cc UCE engine producing 27.2bhp of power and 41.3 Nm of royal torque. The company also has deferred the thought of a carburettor version of the Classic 500 which comes with Fuel Injection. [click to continue…]
Royal Enfield fans can rejoice as the company has finally decided to launch the Chrome edition of the Classic 500 in India. The Classic 500 Chrome has been in existence for more than a year now, but is being sold in the United States only. The Classic 500 Chrome is expected to cost Rs. 10,000/- more than the normal Classic 500 variant. But now, on the Facebook page of Royal Enfield, the company has finally disclosed that the Classic Chrome would soon be arriving soon (screenshot below). [click to continue…]

If you delve deep into the history of Indian motorcycling, you are sure to come across the name of one such company that has delivered some of the most iconic and respected motorcycles. It is the “Royal Enfield”. I am sure giving any kind of introduction about this company is absolutely pointless so we come straight to the topic. This company has launched the CLASSIC 500 and the 350 and we decided to test the 500 to check out if this machine has the same vibrancy like the old icons and also does it make sense in the current Indian era.
