Be it cringe-worthy marketing tactics, revival of iconic brands or global top dogs foraying into Enfield's segment. Everyone's aim is simple - to eat into RE's astronomical sales figures. Some attempts have been brave, while some downright desperate. A new wave of neo-retro motorcycles have struck Enfield's shore including the already-elusive Triumph Speed 400 and the underdog, updated Yezdi Roadster.
