Launch

The bike is not a production-ready model. So we won’t ever see it on the roads. The bike will heavily influence design, paint work, specs and other stuff from the future. The bike is a concept vehicle and will not be launched. A Royal Enfield Bobber will eventually come and will retain a lot design language we saw on the bike showed at 2018 EICMA.

Design

The Royal Enfield Bobber is a low slung bike. This shouts bobber in every way. The bike is seen here with a large single-seat, a large tank which is a break from the teardrop design normally seen on RE bikes. The daytime running LEDs look great with the projector headlamps. It also receives a twin exhaust muffler, twin disc brakes on the front wheel, flat handlebar and a long wheelbase. The suspension includes a telescopic front fork and a mono-shock at the rear. Dual-channel ABS is standard. The large twin-cylinder engine is part of the bike’s appeal and looks very cool.

Engine

The engine for the bike is an 834cc, liquid cooled, fuel injected, V Twin engine developed with help from Polaris Industries (Indian Motorcycles). The engine is capable of 90bnp power and around 100Nm torque.

 Competition

It is not a production ready bike. But the KX concept shows us with the Bobber how Royal Enfield is ready to take on the likes of Harley Davidson, Triumph and Indian.
