Royal Enfield motorcycles gains BSIV and AHO - Report

Royal Enfield Bullet is the world’s oldest continuous production motorcycle.

Royal Enfield India has increased prices of their entire line-up and has made them BSIV compliant as per a report in Car and Bike. This move comes after a government notification which ordains that all two-wheelers sold in India from April 1, 2017, should be BSIV compliant.

The 2017 Royal Enfield Electra 350 starts at INR 1.27 lakhs while the range-topping 2017 Royal Enfield Continental GT cafe racer now gets a sticker price of INR 2.05 lakhs (both prices ex-showroom, Delhi).

Apart from BSIV compliance the bikes also gain Auto Headlamp On (AHO), another safety feature which the government is making compulsory. All time on headlamp will help make the bike be more visible to road users at dusk and poorly lit surroundings.
