Royal Enfield is working towards a new motorcycle that will be lighter and shorter than the Bullet, making it easily accessible to different buyers.
Royal Enfield has major plans for next year as it will finally bring in the new generation of its Bullet, Classic and Thunderbird series. However, it will also be discontinuing the 500cc engine from next year, owing to high conversion costs.
The new Royal Enfield motorcycles will get many mechanical upgrades including changes to the frame and addition of a heavily revised engine. Reports reveal that these changes will make the new models easier to ride.
Not only that, to notch things up, Royal Enfield is working on a new motorcycle, codenamed J1C. This will be the most-affordable RE from next year, catering to a wide range of buyers. RE wants to increase its market share in India owing to the sector slowdown.
