Albeit proceeding ahead with great success, the native two-wheeler maker, Royal Enfield has decided to make slight modifications in its best-selling models of Thunderbird and Classic 350 and 500. When asked about the alterations, the iconic bike maker addressed that it would be launching the revamped range of cruisers for a long term purpose, however, for now, changes will be there in clutch, brakes, and headlamp, while the anticipated launch may take place by this fiscal.
Perceiving the sales graph of RE, the auto hunk has recently launched the much-awaited 410cc Himalayan accompanied by overhead cams and counter balance to resolve the niggle and vibration pitfall. The same mechanism is expected to be assimilated in the new motorcycles with the engine unit in between 410cc-650cc.
When it comes to the 650cc engine, a new R&D provision has been set up by Royal Enfield in the UK to spread its pace worldwide. For making inroads globally, the brand has to uplift its mechanical configurations so that effective cruising speeds can be attained. The upcoming beasts are expected to be more powerful and dynamic as compared to the existing products from the company. Besides, the 650cc machine is anticipated to fill in the gap for RE.

As of now, the Royal Enfield Himalayan is on retail with a carburettor in the country. Though, an option for ABS to abide the Euro emission norms and with fuel injection would be offered by the brand in the international markets. Currently, the top dominators of mid-powered engine segment are Harley-Davidson and Triumph. Apparently, by this move RE is planning to get over them.
