ROYAL ENFIELD TRAILS PRODUCTION CROSSED 800

• Will come with dual-channel ABS as standard.
• Upswept exhaust to boost water-wading capabilities.
• Looks quite similar to the spied motorcycle from a couple of months ago.
• Should be Rs 10,000 more than respective Classic model.                                                      There were reports suggesting that Enfield was building a slightly off-road-biased scrambler of sorts based on the Classic platform. Finally, we have received a teaser video from Royal Enfield itself for the media ride. Not just that, they have revealed that the new Trials 350 and Trials 500 will be launched in India on March 27. Earlier, rumours suggested that the new bike could be named either “Scrambler” or “Trials.” After speaking with a few Royal Enfield dealers we have now come to know that the Chennai-based bikemaker has decided to go with the latter. In foreign markets, Enfield did use to sell a motorcycle with the same name, featuring a raised handlebar, upswept exhaust and dual-purpose tyres.The Trials will appear with two engine options - the 350 and the 500. It is unlikely that Enfield will change the tuning for the bikes as both motors have more than adequate low-down torque. What is different is the end-can is radically upswept, which should help it cross those nasty rivers while going to Ladakh. Will it retain the classic thump heartbeat? The Bulleteers do hope so.
