Royal Enfield Classic 350
‘Gaur’, by Rajputana Custom Motorcycles, reflects the history of the “Timeless Classic” motorcycles by Royal Enfield. Each custom part on this machine is hand-built and takes inspiration from Royal Enfield motorcycles of different eras. From the old school girder suspension to front & rear drum brakes, leather seat to velocity stack and footrests to the all new fuel tank, rear suspension, tool boxes & chassis, the motorcycle has been detailed and blended in a unique way to appeal to the ever-growing community of Royal Enfield enthusiasts.

Dilli’ by Old Delhi Motorcycles, flaunts a metaphoric build that salutes / is an ode to the ever-evolving spirit of Delhi and the soul of Royal Enfield – a celebration of the old and sometimes eccentric vibe that the city exudes without losing its ability to embrace all. The motorcycle is about the tough love of the Ustads and the grudging reverence of the Shagirds. It is a reflection of narrow bylanes of struggle that melt seamlessly into wide tree lined avenues of success and about the strength of the human hand and its ability to bend, cast and fashion all that the mind envisages. This build is a humble expression of gratitude towards all those who have inspired Old Delhi Motorcycles Co.

The motorcycle by MS Customs, reflects the theme of ‘Urban Roadster’. The beautiful yet functional customized new Classic 350 comes with a ‘60s inspired headlight dome, custom tank and swing arm, wheels and tyres. To give the motorcycle a more personalized look, the twin seats have been handcrafted.
