Royal Enfield has
launched the Trials Works Replica in Thailand. The Chennai-based two-wheeler
brand is offering only the 500 cc variant of the motorcycle, that too with the
sales capped at 200 units.
The Royal Enfield Bullet Trials Works Replica is
priced at THB 191,500. The same model retails at INR 2,07,104*
in India. The 350 cc variant, which is not available in the UK or Thailand, is
sold at INR 1,62,345* in our market. Similar to the model sold in India, the
Thai-spec Bullet Trials Works Replica features five accessories - headlight
grill, engine (or crash) guard, number board, aluminium sump guard and
handlebar brace pad.
The Trials Works Replica is inspired by Johhny
Brittain’s trials motorcycle, which won more than 50 championships between 1948
and 1965. The motorcycle uses 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels that use a
wire-spoke design. Designed for trail riding, the Bullet Trials Works Replica
500 model uses dual-purpose tyres. The shorter front and rear fenders on the
Trials Works Replica enhance its off-road focused styling.
Mechanical specifications are identical to the
standard 500 cc version, and the Thai-spec Royal Enfield Trials Works Replica uses
a 499 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine with fuel injection tech. Linked to
a five-speed transmission, the motor produces 27.1 BHP of peak power and 41 Nm
of max torque. Stopping power comes from disc brakes, while the setup is
governed by the safety-net of dual-channel ABS. Shock absorption tasks, like on
the standard bike, are performed by twin-sided rear springs and conventional
telescopic front forks.
