Royal Enfield – About Us:

The oldest motorcycle brand in continuous production, Royal Enfield has created beautifully crafted motorcycles since 1901. From its British roots, a manufacturing plant was established in Madras in 1955, a foothold from which Royal Enfield spearheaded the growth of India’s middleweight motorcycle segment. Royal Enfields are engaging, uncomplicated, accessible and fun to ride; a medium for exploration and self-expression. It’s an approach the brand calls Pure Motorcycling.

Royal Enfield’s premium motorcycle line-up caters to varied aspirations and motivations. From stylish retro and neo-retro roadsters like the Hunter 350, the Interceptor 650 and the Shotgun 650, to quintessentially thoroughbred cruisers like the Meteor 350, and the Super Meteor 650; and from adrenaline pumping machines like the all-new Himalayan 450 adventure tourer, the Scram 411 ADV crossover and the Continental GT 650 cafe racer, to the timeless and iconic classics, like the Bullet and the Classic 350; Royal Enfield has an enviable portfolio of motorcycles.

Riders and a passionate community are fostered with a rich profusion of events at a local, regional and international level. Most notable are Motoverse (previously Rider Mania), an annual gathering of thousands of Royal Enfield enthusiasts in Goa, and series of epic rides ranging from peaceful and picturesque to the treacherous and challenging that test the mettle of the rider and the machine, and at the same time deepen the bond between them.

A division of Eicher Motors Limited, Royal Enfield operates through more than 2000 stores across all major cities and towns in India and through nearly 1080 stores in more than 65 countries around the globe.
