Royal Enfield Mo ‘Powa’ and Dirty Duck
As a part of its Wheels and Waves 2016
campaign, Royal Enfield has come up with a couple of factory made custom
motorcycles named Mo ‘Powa’ and Dirty Duck.
The Mo ‘Powa’ is a turbocharged Classic
500 which receives extensive modification. RE defines it as a rendition of
“dragster-meets-Mad-Max” motorcycle that adds brutish appeal to the Classic
without compromising its original beauty.
The stance is achieved by lowering the
front forks, using an extended version of Continental GT’s swing arm and a
custom K-Power rear shock absorbers whose mounting point goes below the
swingarm. A fatter rear rim, Continental TKC70 knobbies and a stripped down
seat pan with racing foam adds to the character.
The turbocharger comes in while EFI and
air-box go out. The fuel gauge has been replaced by boost gauge for added
drama.
The Dirty Duck is a rugged old-school
looking off-roader with “survive anything” attitude. Based on the Continental
GT, the motorcycle’s hand fabricated snorkel highlights its go-anywhere
capabilities.
The Conti’s rims have been retained but
tyres have been replaced. RE says that the Continental TKC80 tires are the
biggest and blockiest it could find. Aluminium sump guard, added luggage
carrying capabilities, hand made seats wrapped in ‘oiled leather’, ‘naturally
rusted’ fuel tank, modified air-box, projector headlamps, are the other
highlights.
