Many individuals prefer to opt for a Royal Enfield when it comes to road trips and tours in India and for good reason too. While the cult following of these motorcycles is still ever-present and the brand is always spoken about in favorable light (which is only testimony to the fact that reliability is never compromised), it offers you a seamless blend of fuel economy, performance as well as styling. All of these elements come together to function seamlessly and harmoniously when you use for a motorcycle trip in India.
Here are a few more detailed reasons why a Royal Enfield is the bike for you if you want to tour around the country.
1. You can cut through traffic in an effortless way
A Royal Enfield is much better when compared to taking a car for a road trip. This is because when you are suddenly faced with surprise traffic jams when you cross a village or small town, you know you are not going to get stuck in it. You do not get the imprisoned feeling you get when you are in the car, making it easier to cut and glide through traffic, through the gaps.
2. It is a dependable mode of transport
Sometimes you are going to come across rough terrain and at other times you are going to find roads that have loose gravel that actual road. The new Unit Construction Engine (UCE) of the Royal Enfield is much more advanced than the older cast iron AVL engines. This ensures they do not break down out of the blue. The classic range comes with 24 months or 24,000km warranty which offers you a glimpse of the improvement in quality it comes with.
3. Fuel efficiency is never compromised
While it can move effortlessly through hills and terrains, you can use it to travel perfectly well on highways and plains too. This is owing to its heavy built and superior low-end torque which offers impeccable stability with no loss of traction. While it also comes with a big engine and heavy built, it offers you a mileage of 30-35 kilometers per liter which provides you fairly good fuel efficiency.
4. It is comfortable even for longer rides
A Royal Enfield is one of the most comfortable bikes that you can get specifically for longer rides. While the overall seating position is ideal for a cruiser, you do not have to worry about coming under any stress during long rides because of this. Also, the scenic routes are much better to ride on even as they are ironically the roads less traveled upon. With a Royal Enfield however, you can certainly hit these roads uninhibitedly.
5. Long-stroke engine for thin air
The Royal Enfield is preferred to ride in places where the air is very thin. Because of its long stroke air stays for more time in the combustion chamber. That is the reason why its engine produces more efficient power in the area with thinner air. Other motorbikes have a shorter stroke than Royal Enfield, therefore, entered air quickly goes out of the combustion chamber.
All in all, motorcycle tours in India are generally more fun with a Royal Enfield mainly because it offers improved mileage and is fairly easier to handle and ride. So if you are going on tour and are thinking about what is the best mode of transport to take you traversing through the interiors and outskirts of India, especially if you have just you or a few others for company, the Royal Enfield certainly ensures you have the time of your life.
