km/h.
Speaking on the new Squadron
Blue colour, Mr Rudratej Singh, President, Royal Enfield said, “The Classic 500
Squadron Blue is a tribute to Royal Enfield’s war time presence and association
with the armed forces. We wanted a variant with a genuine armed forces heritage
for our customers and for this, Royal Enfield turned to the Indian Air Force
for inspiration. We had to be very particular about the colour to create an
authenticity and also provide the motorcycle its post war appeal. This
inspiration led us to create the Classic Squadron Blue which is now available
at price of Rs 186,688 on-road Delhi”.
