Carberry Enfield is all set to introduce its 1000cc V-twin motorcycles based on Royal Enfield 500cc engines in India. The company has found an Indian investor named Jaspreet Singh Bhatia who has convinced them to move to Bhilai for its new base of operations.
If you are a motorcycle enthusiast, you must have heard about Paul Carberry. Paul is the man behind Carberry Enfield, the firm that successfully crafted 1000cc V-twin engine based on Royal Enfield 500cc single cylinder engine. The company sold 13 such motorcycles in Australia before they closed operations because of rising raw material and manpower costs.
Live-Mint has spoken to them and if the news reports are to be believed, the company will start selling 1000cc custom made motorcycles in India.
In terms of mechanics, the bike will be powered by 1000cc, 55-degree V-twin engine based on the Royal Enfield 500cc single-cylinder engine.
Jaspreet Singh Bhatia said,
Paul Carberry said,
But the big challenge for the company will be to meet Indian homologation and emission norms. Government has already declared that they might be leapfrogging from Bharat Stage IV to BS VI emission norms by 2020, in a bid to adopt pro-active strategy to reduce pollution.
Paul Carberry said,
The bigger challenge, according to Carberry, will be in finding the right parts suppliers.
Carberry also said,
The Carberry Enfield retains the original parts of Royal Enfield as much as possible. They develops custom-built crank cases, reworked frames and fuel tanks to accommodate the V-twin engine. So that the bike could be fixed as easily as possible.
It will be too early to quote a price for one such motorcycle. But considering the fact that motorcycle will be manufactured locally in India might drop the cost of production to over half of what it was in Australia.
