A Glimpse into Royal Enfield’s Storied History
Royal Enfield’s motorcycle journey began in 1901 when the company produced its very first motorcycle, designed by Bob Walker Smith and Jules Gobiet. This inaugural model featured a 1.5 hp engine mounted in front of the steering head, driving the rear wheel via a long rawhide belt. The company’s legacy of craftsmanship and innovation is encapsulated in its motto, “Made like a gun,” reflecting its origins in weapons manufacturing.
Over the decades, Royal Enfield has experienced significant milestones, including supplying motorcycles to the Indian army in the 1950s and establishing manufacturing operations in India. The brand has continued to evolve, blending classic design elements with modern technology to cater to a diverse and growing global audience.
As a dealership committed to offering the best to our customers, we celebrate Royal Enfield’s historic achievement and look forward to bringing you the latest and most sought-after models from this esteemed manufacturer.
Please note that India’s financial year runs from April 1 to March 31, differing from Australia’s financial year, which spans July 1 to June 30. This distinction is essential to avoid any confusion when interpreting these figures.
