Royal Enfield has been on a bit of a streak lately. With the launch of their new 650 twins still fresh in everyone’s minds, here’s another new model from RE – a ‘Trials’ version of the legendary Bullet.
It’s only been a few months since the launch of the brilliant new 650 Twins from RE, and they seem to be doing very well in terms of gaining global recognition. The world appears to have fallen in love with the Interceptor 650 and the GT, making the RE brand stronger than ever. But RE, it seems, has bigger plans, and so, without wasting any time, the oldest bike manufacturer in the world has just launched another model – the Trials 500.
We were invited to take part in a ‘trials race’ on their brand-new Bullet Trials motorcycle. A ‘trials race’ is basically a race where the rider must complete a course ridden with obstacles without putting his or her feet on the ground. It doesn’t seem that daunting actually – until you do it yourself that is, as I quickly found out. The Trials edition of the Bullet is essentially a new model that pays homage to RE’s legacy of winning trials races.
