Here I am today informing you about the Legacy itself:
The ROYAL ENFIELD.
Before Going to the SIGNALS-350, Let me brief you about the Legacy that Royal Enfield has.
Royal Enfield has its legacy since the second world war and its classic looks was somewhere submerged in the early 80’s but after 2010 Royal Enfield has raised again like a phoenix and this time there is no looking back. It has that retro thump in its engine which attracts people of all age group. It has a standard edition for its standard audiences and it keeps on Experimenting on its variants on Classic 350 and Classic 500. It sometimes launches its limited edition Variants in its Classic 500 like 2 years before It had launched the Camouflage Variants in two colors.
I can say that Royal Enfield made its mark by introducing 2 colour variants in its Classic 500 which is Desert Storm and Squadron Blue. These Bikes increased the sales of the Royal Enfield bikes remarkably in the market and it continues even today.
2 Years Ago It names its Classic 350 with 3 color variants as Reditch which were Red, Light blue and Green in color.
THE PEGASUS 500 Limited Edition

Again earlier this year Royal Enfield launched its Limited Edition Variant in Classic 500 which was called PEGASUS. It was styled as a Homage to the World War-2 Flying Flee motor cycles. These Flying Flee Motorcycles were used by the Mighty Airborne Pegasus Regiment, so this was named PEGASUS. Each PEGASUS bike carried the unique stenciled number inspired by the Flying Flee. Only 1000 units were produced and India have only 250 of them. You will think that Why am I discussing about PEGASUS here!!
3 Months after launching the Royal Enfield PEGASUS which was a Limited Edition Bike. Royal Enfield has now launched its Classic-350 Variant SIGNALS. Which almost looks like the limited edition PEGASUS.
Let us have a look on the SIGNALS.
The SIGNALS have been released in two Colours the STORMRIDER SAND & AIRBORNE BLUE. Royal Enfield claims the bike has been inspired by the military attire. SIGNALS also comprises of the unique stenciled number on the tank with number “49”
It has eradicated all the chrome. It has the black housing head lamps, The Wheel RIMs, all the other body parts like the engine, the Silencer, the handle parts are matt black finish. This gives the bike the military attire and attracts every mindset.
The Royal Enfield SIGNALS has some unique features which the earlier Royal Enfield bikes didn’t had,
Dual Channel ABS (Anti-lock Braking System): This feature was missing in the Royal Enfield bikes which had launched earlier and Royal Enfield claims that it works efficiently even on wet and slippery roads.
Fuel Gauge: after a long wait, fans of Royal Enfield finally get their fuel gauge which was missing in the earlier versions. I think this is the most effective measure taken by Royal Enfield to attract more customers.
All the other features remain the same as the bike is powered by Single Cylinder Aircooled 346 CC Engine that puts out 19.8BHP of max power at 5250 RPM, 28NM of Torque at 4000RPM. And we get the 5 Speed Gear Box. Although the SIGNALS is having the same specifications as the Old Classic 350 Bikes, The ABS and The Fuel Gauge and the matt finish of the bikes separates them from all the other Classic 350 Bikes. The Legacy Continues, Royal Enfield Rocks.
But I have to tell you that some audience are really disappointed by this move of Royal Enfield. Because they had earlier launched the PEGASUS which was a limited version and people had struggled a lot to get this bike which was premium priced at 2.26 Lakhs on road. Now Royal Enfield has launched its regular variant with the features of the special edition in its SIGNALS variant.
Royal Enfield is doing a quiet great job, maintaining its legacy which attracts customers and I believe that it continues further.
