Royal Enfield has recently unveiled a one-off custom adventure bike that’s turning heads in the motorcycling world. The bike, built in collaboration with David Gwyther of Death Spray Custom, is based on the 650cc platform but features a larger 850cc engine. Let’s dive into the details of this exciting creation. Design and Inspiration The custom adventure bike draws inspiration from the legendary Dakar Rally racing machines of the 1980s and 1990s. Its rugged, purposeful design pays homage to the off-road warriors that conquered grueling terrains during those golden years of rally racing. The bodywork, finished in light pastel pink and purple shades, exudes a modern-retro vibe, reminiscent of the Ducati DesertX. Technical Specifications Engine: The heart of this beast is a bored-out version of the Royal Enfield 650cc parallel-twin engine. The 850cc powerplant promises more torque and a thrilling riding experience. Chassis: The adventure bike features a tweaked chassis from Harris Performance, ensuring stability and agility on various surfaces. Suspension: Adjustable Ohlins suspension components provide excellent damping and control. Wheels and Tires: Spoke wheels wrapped in rally-spec, knobby tires allow the bike to tackle both on-road and off-road adventures. Exhaust System: A custom swingarm and exhaust system, also from Harris Performance, enhance performance and aesthetics. Unveiling at Goodwood Festival of Speed The one-off Royal Enfield adventure bike made its debut at the prestigious Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK. Enthusiasts and industry insiders marveled at its unique blend of classic rally styling and modern engineering. The bike was displayed from July 4th to 7th, capturing the attention of motorcycle aficionados worldwide. What’s Next? While Royal Enfield hasn’t officially confirmed mass production of an 850cc adventure bike, this custom creation serves as a tantalizing glimpse into the brand’s future. Could we see a production version of this middleweight adventure machine? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the spirit of adventure lives on at Royal Enfield.
