The new SG 650 Concept has some special elements that are a first for a Royal Enfield concept. For the record, the tank on the bike is CNC billet machined from a solid block of aluminium, as have the wheel rims with integrated ABS, bespoke designed brake calipers, and dual front brake disks.
It also gets upside down forks, integrated aluminium top yoke / nacelle unit and low rise extra-wider bars with all aluminium switch cubes - while the twin rear shocks, mounted to the classic chassis loop, hand stitched black leather floating solo seat.
Says Adrian Sellers, Group Manager, Industrial Design and lead for the SG650 Concept project, “We’re really excited to unveil this concept and write another chapter in the rapidly evolving story of Royal Enfield design. It is always exciting to design for a “What if…" scenario, and the brief to create a motorcycle that would both be recognizably Royal Enfield but at the same time push what a Royal Enfield could be was a real challenge. This was a wonderfully collaborative and rewarding project to develop, as it required the creative input of many different aspects of the design team - from Industrial Design to Color Trim and Graphics and CGI - each contributed a piece of the puzzle to bring this other world."
More details about the upcoming Royal Enfield SG 650 concept will be revealed later in the day during the EICMA debut of the motorcycle at the company's official social media handles.
