Royal Enfield Classic Chrome and Desert Storm

Royal Enfield Classic Chrome

The Classic Chrome recreates the magic of old school bikes while offering best-in-class technology. With the design philosophy of showing 'metal as metal', the Classic Chrome retains authentic styling with its unique chrome tanks, wide mud guards and oval tool box, complemented by the distinguishing tiger lamps for which Royal Enfield bikes are famed. The single spring saddle seat, unique tail lamp, Royal Enfield emblems on the engine and even the font on the speedometer are all inspired by the original styling of the 1950s. The stunning Chrome is accentuated by artistic paintwork on the tank, crafted painstakingly by Royal Enfield's artisans.
The Classic Chrome story is not limited to striking looks. The bike comes with the 500cc Twin Spark, unit construction engine that is designed to thrill the rider with its performance. The 27.2 bhp power output is made available with excellent drivability, with a world renowned Electronic Fuel Injection system. The absolute reliability of the unit construction engine, along with the hydraulic tappets, the auto chain tensioner, improved piston and piston rings and a more powerful charging circuit adds huge dependability to the Classic Chrome.

Royal Enfield Desert Storm

The Royal Enfield Desert Storm is styled to ignite the pride and excitement of the battlefield in the heart of anyone who rides it. As the whole world is moving towards an age where distinctions are blurred, the Royal Enfield Desert Storm stands apart and delivers as a one-of-a-kind rebel.

The Desert Storm draws inspiration from the World War era, with its bold, macho, sand color-scheme. The matte finish paint job, with the Royal Enfield monogram on the tank and thigh pads, invokes the strength and grit of a true veteran.

The Desert Storm is equipped with all the technical features of the Classic Chrome, including wide mud guards, oval tool box, the signature Royal Enfield tiger lamps, single spring saddle seat and unique tail lamp. It comes fitted with the 500cc TwinSpark, unit construction engine and the 27.5 bhp power output is made available with the Electronic Fuel Injection system.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Shaji Koshy, Senior Vice President - Sales and Marketing, remarked, "Our customers have been demanding the 'Chrome' model of Royal Enfield for quite some time now. Both Classic Chrome and Desert Storm are meant to bring more thrills to the customer. With leisure riding catching up rapidly, both these bikes will offer a unique choice of biking enthusiasts.

"Following the launch of Classic 350 and 500cc in September 2009, we have been continuously equipping our dealerships to take customer satisfaction to the next level. In 2011, we have added 15 dealerships and one Brand Store to our existing network."

Talking about the new bikes, Dr. Venkatesh Padmanabhan, CEO, Royal Enfield said, "When we launched the Classic in November 2009, we had not imagined in our wildest dreams that this new product would occupy almost 40 percent of our total sales within a year of its launch. During this time we have feverishly engaged ourselves in burnishing this gem. The fruits of this labour are now manifested in the Classic Chrome and Desert Storm.
