The Motorcycle that Changed Motorcycling
Launched in 1948,
the groundbreaking 350cc trials Bullet was the first production motorcycle to
feature swinging arm suspension. Two years later, a precociously talented
18-year-old joined Royal Enfield. John Victor Brittain, universally known as
Johnny Brittain, was to become its star rider. C
Legends live on! And the Royal Enfield Bullet is the best testimony to that. The
Bullet’s enduring journey over the last 87 years - since 1932 - has given Royal
Enfield the privilege of being the world’s oldest motorcycle brand in continuous
production, with the Bullet being the longest running motorcycle model in the
world. This journey of the Bullet has been both, iconic and legendary, but
perhaps the most important story in its history is the legacy of the Royal
Enfield Bullet at the Trials Championships. Inspired by this legacy of Royal
Enfield at the International Six Days Trials and as a tribute to the prolific
Trials Wizard, Johnny Brittain, Royal Enfield launches the Bullet Trials Works
Replica 2019.
The Bullet Trials will be available in 500cc and 350cc, and will have
distinctive design and functional features that will be redolent of the heydays
of classic trials competitions from the 1940’s and 50’s. The new Bullet Trials
will feature tyres with block tread pattern for improved off road grip, and a
reinforced handlebar with cross-brace. The motorcycle also features a raised
silencer for improved ground clearance in addition to being equipped with dual
channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). The Bullet Trials will have trimmed
mudguards, a single seat, and luggage carrier. There will also be a set of five
specific motorcycle accessories available, that have been designed for the
Bullet Trials, including a sump guard for added engine protection.
Speaking at the
launch of the Bullet Trials motorcycle, Mark Wells - Global Head, Product
Strategy and Industrial Design, Royal Enfield said, “Royal Enfield has had a
long and proud history of building resilient and enduring motorcycles, the
Bullet has been the most enduring of them all. The Bullet Trials motorcycle
ridden by Johnny Brttain is unforgettable and a reminder of the machine’s
prowess over challenging terrains and its trials pedigree. The Bullet Trials
2019 motorcycle is inspired by Johnny Brittain’s trials motorcycle that won more
than 50 championships between 1948 - 1965 and it is also a fitting tribute to
our seminal design and engineering expertise that introduced the swingarm for
the first time in 1949 with the Bullet. I am confident that this motorcycle will
be received well amongst Royal Enfield enthusiasts in India”.
“It was in fact
the proven success of the Bullet Trials motorcycle over challenging terrains
that caught the eye of the Indian Army. It was around 1952 when the Indian Army
placed an order of 800 Bullet motorcycles to patrol the harsh border regions of
Kashmir and Rajasthan directly leading to the creation of Enfield India in 1955.
This year we are also commemorating the 70th year of the Bullet Trials’ ISDT
winning motorcycle that was showcased with the swingarm for the first time in
1949. ” added Mark Wells.
Speaking at the
launch of the motorcycle, Shaji Koshy - Head India+ Business, Royal Enfield,
said “The Royal Enfield Bullet has always had a fiercely loyal customer base in
India and has been in existence for over 8 decades across the globe. In India,
the Bullet has gained iconic status and has been associated with endurance and
resilience, with motorcycles being passed on from one generation to the other.
Taking the trials heritage of the Bullet marquee ahead in 2019, we are pleased
to announce the availability of Bullet Trials in India.”
The 2019 Bullet
Trials motorcycle is a tribute to the 1949 Bullet Trials ridden by Johnny
Brittain across various trials championships. This model perfectly captures the
look-and-feel of these early 1950's models while offering modern features such
as twin Disc ABS and EFI system. The Bullet Trials 500 will be powered by the
498cc UCE engine and the Bullet Trials 350 will be powered by the 348cc UCE
engine.
Enhancing the
trials riding experience of the new motorcycle, the Bullet Trials will be
available with more than 30 Genuine Motorcycle Accessories from Royal Enfield to
choose from. Royal Enfield has designed and developed 5 specific motorcycle
accessories for Bullet Trials - compact engine guard, headlight grill, number
board, aluminium sump guard and the handlebar brace pad.
