A journey back in time for Royal Enfield has this range of motorcycles combining
classic styling cues with modern parts which bring the Retro up to a highly
covetable position. These motorcycles blend power, fuel efficiency, reliability
and simple, yet drop dead gorgeous post war styling.
The Classic Desert Storm comes to you with a “sand” paint scheme
reminiscent of the war era, a time when Royal Enfield motorcycles proved their
capabilities and battle worthiness by impeccable service to soldiers in harsh
conditions of the desert. Donning a younger look with styling cues one would
expect only from a genuine Royal Enfield: single cylinder air-cooled pushrod
engine, 1950s style nacelle and toolboxes, traditional paint scheme and buffed
engine components, this motorcycle is all set to bring you the pleasures of
modern motorcycling while reflecting the aura of eternal classic styling.
First introduced in 1932, the Royal Enfield Bullet has a long
tradition of military service; thousands were supplied to the British Army and
RAF for use by despatch riders during the Second World War. When updated for
1949 the Bullet was chosen for patrol duties by the Indian Army, a fact that has
ensured its survival to this day. The Battle Green and Desert Storm models pay
homage to the company’s military heritage. Both have bodywork and frame painted
in matt colours, with plain white decals, in contrast to the high gloss finish
of the majority of traditionally styled models in the Royal Enfield range.
Powered by the latest fuel-injected unit engine, with 5-speed
gearbox and multi-plate clutch, the Battle Green and Desert Storm combine
classic looks and sound with modern levels of performance and reliability thanks
to front disc brake, gas-filled rear suspension, hydraulic pushrods and 12-volt
halogen headlight. This package delivers enhanced performance and handling with
reduced emissions and maintenance compared to the machines originally supplied
to the armed forces.
