Engine performance

Driving this 500cc bike was fun.Engine performance was great with mileage of 30kmpl.Seat was not comfortable for long rides.Maintenance of enfield bikes are high.Specially the fuel pump will stop working after 5-7 years.Replacement from re service centre also does not guarantee a long running fuel pump.Rust on body parts is a major issue in re.Overall good to ride but high on maintenance.

Reliable bike

Over all its strong and reliable bike, Only most important thing you have to care services on time and engine oil.I love my bike.I am using from since 2013 and it's still very best pickup, Engine and best thing is this you can drive hundreds of kilometres without any hustle.

Unreliable service

2.6

Bad, unreliable service and defective electronic interface. Performance is not significant and compatible with engine size.

Latest technology

3.0

It is a great highway cruiser but a pain when driving in the city. It has a powerful 500cc engine which is good. But the vibrations, lack of latest technology are some negatives. Overall its a good bike if you like cruisers and especially the RE bikes with a thump then this one is definitely for you. if not then dont buy it,

Oil leaking

3.4

Love the bike, but couldn't find the mileage, i found a oil leaking always from engine, maintenance cost is heavy the spares are too expensive.
