For now, that’s as a lot as we are able to glean relating to how the bike rides, as the standard media launch hasn’t taken place but.

It is usually the primary clear view we are able to get of the brand new water-cooled 450 motor and, as you’d anticipate for such a drastic change from earlier than (the earlier bike has a 410cc air/oil-cooled unit), it’s a completely completely different wanting beast.

At first look, the right-side engine casing looks very very like the item discovered on J-series powered bikes, like the Hunter 350 and Meteor 350.

One other change is a move to a TFT dash which is basically no shock. There are a load of latest fashions within the Royal Enfield vary that includes a TFT, and provided that this could give the bike turn-by-turn navigation – a should on a modern adventure bike – it actually can only be a great thing.

About the one different factor we are able to glean from the photographs is that the chassis of the brand new bike features correct USD forks, not the telescopic items discovered on the previous machine. We are able to’t inform if there may be any adjustability on the front, however they’re hefty-looking forks, between 43 and 45mm is our greatest guestimate.

These details add to earlier ones, together with a 21-inch front wheel and 17-inch rear wheel, and a single rear shock. Twin-channel ABS has additionally been rumoured, in addition to a ride-by-wire throttle.
