BAAK workshop introduces this Royal Enfield Classic 500 Trial 1960 Ltd. A lightweight machine with character, a great finish level and pure off-road skills.
The Royal Enfield Classic 500 EFI is a machine that creates a mix between modernity and tradition, which BAAK entirely re-designed to give it aesthetic and dynamic qualities that remind one of the glorious past of indo-britanic firm in trial racing. .
Throughout this project, BAAK team aimed at building a 60’s trial machines replica while focusing on the reliability, the security and the finish level of the build. This project is a real return to the origins for the Classic 500, essential to make this motorcycle stand out from the mass and get redesigned in a classic way. It’s all about a unique motorcycle with a strong personality, off road friendly and which enables his owner go on the trial spot by road. Our work made it 42,5Kg lighter than the original Classic 500 EFI, which is clearly one of the reasons of its radical dynamic features transformation. Like our other creations, this Royal Enfield is in line with the backdating trend: We aimed at giving a classic timeless look to this modern motorcycle, while keeping the comfortable features of a 21th century one (security, braking, reliability, handling...). A riding experience which feels different and which awakens the senses of the rider.
