Royal Enfield’s 2016 motorcycle line-up and new colour options leaked
Royal Enfield is revamping its entire line-up for 2016, and this is what we can expect
Royal Enfield, one of the oldest and most iconic marquees in the motorcycling world, is revamping its entire line-up for 2016. And, ahead of its official announcement, images and more details of the updates have been shared by members of the Team-BHP forum, giving us a fair idea of what to expect soon from the bikemaker.
From what we can infer from the presentation slides that have leaked online, the major changes for 2016 are in the form of paintjobs and visual refreshes.
First up is the Bullet Electra, the 350cc model that is currently offered in red, black and silver. The 2016 Bullet Electra will now also be offered in two new colour schemes: 'Meridian Blue' and 'Marsala Red'.
Then there’s the Classic 350 that will get two new colours: 'Chestnut Red' and 'Marshal Green', while the Royal Enfield Classic 500 and Classic Chrome 500 will be updated with two new shades: Squadron Blue, Athena Grey and Forest Green respectively.
Finally, there’s the Bullet 500, which is currently offered in 'Forest Green' and 'Black', and is now likely to get the aforementioned new 'Athena Grey' colour.
Mechanically, we reckon Royal Enfield will be sticking with the same engine and powertrain options as before, although there are some more visual tweaks apart from the new paint jobs like new stickers on the tool box, chrome RE logos on fuel tank (on Electra), new rexin for the seat assembly, and new finish for the headlamp casing and fork’s short cover.
Royal Enfield is also expected to introduce the highly-anticipated Himalayan adventure tourer with a brand-new 410 cc engine this year.
