Royal Enfield has become a venerable player in the market with their 650 parallel parallel twin engine. But the brand is already in works to bring in their new 750 cc twin cylinder engine that would power a newer generation of adventure bikes and cruisers.
While the brand has had profound indigenous roots, it has become a global phenomenon in the recent years. Royal Enfield has witnessed a increased stake in several countries such as North America, Europe, and United Kingdom. To provide for the increasing demands of such countries for a mid size bike with 750 cc engines Royal Enfield has started working on the development of a new 750cc parallel twin engine code named the R2G.
Biggest Motorcycle In The the Lineup
While the 650cc parallel twin engine is considered to be a big engine for a bike in India- the 750cc parallel twin would raise the bar even further. This would be the biggest bike in the whole Royal Enfield lineup and would help the brand serve the global demands of a 750cc mid sized bike with ease.
Royal Enfield Emerging And Evolved Markets
Royal Enfield has recognized its emerging as well as evolved markets. And it would be fair to say that it proceeds to fulfill a dual purpose for the different demand subsets. A new mid size bike for emerging markets, and a alternative to compete against other bikes in evolved markets. This would help the brand combat the increasing grasp of Triumph and Harley Davidson in the overseas market as well.
Recent Test Mule Sighting
In a recent news update a new Royal Enfield Himalayan was spotted being tested in Sothern Europe. While its possible that the vehicle might have been powered by the same 650cc parallel twin engine the rumour mill suggests that its possible that the bike might be powered by a 750 cc twin cylinder engine. The bike that was spotted testing had numerous sensors all along its chassis. These are apparently necessary for durability testing and analysis.
The test mule that was spotted testing had a completely new chassis with a more relaxed rake angle and a longer wheelbase. This would allow the adventure rider to have a much better ride. The Himalayan 650cc would have a 47 bhp engine performance along with a peak torque figure of 52 nm.
But since adventure bikes need max torque in lower rpm ranges the gearing of the bike can be changed. This would allow the bike to be able to face adventure of off-roading much more easily.
