Royal Enfield was a brand name under which The Enfield Cycle Company
Limited of Redditch, Worcestershire sold motorcycles, bicycles,
lawnmowers and stationary engines which they had manufactured. Enfield
Cycle Company also used the brand name "Enfield" without the "Royal".
The first Royal Enfield motorcycle was built in 1901. The Enfield Cycle
Company is responsible for the design and original production of the
Royal Enfield Bullet, the longest-lived motorcycle design in history.
Royal Enfield's spare parts operation was sold to Velocette in 1967,
which benefitted from the arrangement for three years until their
closure in early 1971. Enfield's remaining motorcycle business became
part of Norton Villiers in 1967 with the business eventually closing in
1978.

fork and dual shock absorber suspension setup, same as its siblings. It

270mm disc with a single-piston floating calliper at the rear. There’s
also the safety net of dual channel ABS or single-channel ABS in the
more affordable Retro variant.

craftsmanship of the past as it is reborn. Inspired by the post war G2

testament to the timeless design which took the motorcycling world with
