Royal Enfield unveiled 2 custom motorcycles named Mo’ Powa’ and Dirty Duck at 2016 Wheels and Wave festival at Biarritz, France. Both the bikes are built by the skilled workers at Royal Enfield owned Harris Customs in the UK.
The Mo Powa is first of kind turbo charged classic 500. It features a elongated wheel base with a longer swing arm borrowed from the Continental GT. Other key highlights of the motorcycle includes K-Tech rear shocks. The lower stance of custom classic 500 Mo’ Powa’ makes it a true dragster.
Royal Enfield said,
“Mo’ Powa’ is Royal Enfield’s rendition of a Dragster-meets-Mad Max motorcycle that exploits ‘built-in survive anything’ characteristics of any Royal Enfield. It was decided to add a brutish appeal to the Classic 500 without losing the beauty of its traditional form.
The most exciting part, of course, was to add the ruthless touch of a Mad Max with a turbo charger. The stunning, custom-built exhaust has been fabricated by hand at Harris Performance. This is a motorcycle that can be pushed to the limits on the track but will be equally appreciated for its elegance off it.”
The second motorcycle that company showcased at the festival is ‘Dirty Duck’. Its a scrambler based on a Royal Enfield’s Cafe Racer Continental GT. The motorcycle is aimed to be ridden on any terrain.
Company said,
Dirty Duck
What machine says “Survive Anything” more than a Jeep or Land Rover Defender in its characteristic rough metal with a big ol’ snorkel sticking out the top? The Dirty Duck is Royal Enfield’ interpretation of the very same idea in a motorcycle form. The existing angular forms and rigid frame of the Continental GT worked perfectly for conveying this idea of utilitarian toughness. The addition of the hand fabricated snorkel completed the look and ability to go anywhere on land or in water giving it the name – Dirty Duck
The fuel tank has been naturally rusted to tell a tale of its long life of surviving adventures and at the same time, make it obvious that one should not feel bad about dropping or hesitate from pushing the Dirty Duck to its absolute limits. The snorkel is without a doubt the highlight of this motorcycle which has been hand crafted by the extraordinary craftsmen at Harris Performance.
