Royal Enfield announced Classic Chrome 500 for India (on official FaceBook Page)

Royal Enfield has announced through its FB page that the company plans to introduce its Classic Chrome 500 model to India. The launch of the chrome drenched beauty is inevitability now.

The Chrome version of the Classic 500 doesn’t differ much from its regular Classic EFI version in terms of mechanicals and functionality. The engine, transmission and specs would largely remain unaltered, although the possibility of a non-EFI carbureted version for India cannot be denied. The Classic 500 EFI’s 500cc mill is good for 27.2bhp of power and 41.3Nm of car-like torque.
The Classic Chrome 500 sports a rear fender which is completely drenched in chrome. Generous shiny silver treatment has also been given to the toolbox, the tank and the front fender. Expect the Indian version to sport a big 19 inch wheel up front unlike the export variants which have 18 inchers.

The Classic Chrome will sure add a lot of ‘sparkle’ to the world of thousands of RE fans when they take this baby out for a ride on a sunny day.
Sold thus far to the US market only, the Classic Chrome has been around for about a year now. We expect an increment of upto Rs. 10,000 over the standard Classic 500.
Would that be a fair increment? How much extra would you care to pay for that extra chrome?

Guys, it should be a good choice for the exclusivity seekers. Again, I personally don't believe Chrome version should be incremented by Rs. 10,000 more to the already pricey Classic. But again, this was just an assumption and no one from Royal Enfield has confirmed this.
Royal Enfield has recently been on fire as far as news is concerned. They're expanding their Chennai plant, going for a new plant near Chennai, going for branded riding gears, a brand new website, etc. And now this. In fact, I was expecting them to release something here, as the competition is going to make life tough for them. Wish them best of luck.
