Royal Enfield to launch Diesel bikes by 2012

With the competition getting more and more intense, like many of the Indian two wheeler companies, Royal Enfield is also planning to launch bikes in newer segments, with the idea of bigger engines and diesel variants.

Royal Enfield is now the smallest reputed two wheeler company by volumes. As a part of their improvement plans, they are looking to upgrade to the segment of 750cc engines and above in the coming years. It does not face competition from any manufacturer for the class of motorcycles it makes, with engine capacities of 350cc and 500cc.

Enfield, as a plan to launch varieties, is planning to bring diesel-powered bikes back into the Indian market, a project for which work is already on. It was the first two-wheeler manufacturer to introduce diesel bikes, in the late 1990s.

Amongst new launches, the firm has planned street versions of the Cafe Racer concept, to be introduced over the next 12-18 months. The company does not face competition from any manufacturer for the class of motorcycles it makes, with engine capacities of 350cc and 500cc.

By P.prakash on 22-07-2012

I should also add, that trip the bike reeurntd an actual 70mpg fuel economy, as charted by my pen and pad and gas card. Our resident flat tracker Scott also manage to drag every hard part on a couple of highway off ramps and revealed the one major flaw-ish feature: the foot pegs are fixed, thankfully they are also meaty rubber and left a black streak through the turn. There was still about half an inch of tire left to go when it touched down so it was pretty close to the bikes limits. Most people won't ever ride it that hard.If you search the HFL archives, any pic of a c5 military with an HFL logo on it is the same bike.I would like to secure one to set an ironbutt record with buti haven't had much luck yet.

By Jaspal Singh on 15-03-2012

I have been reading such articles for the last 2 years. And I dont think we will get to see the new breed of diesel bikes anytime before late 2013 or early 2014. Also I would not be surprised to see some Indian company like "Sooraj" re-launching the diesel bike before Hero or Royal Enfield.

One more thing, Royal Enfield was not the first to manufacture diesel bikes in India. The first diesel bike in India was "Sooraj".

By Mahesh on 13-03-2012
