2009 Royal Enfield Electra EFI DL

Royal Enfield has added a new Deluxe model of its range of fuel-injected Electra motorcycles.

Featuring a black and chrome tank with gold pinstripes and rubber knee pads, the Electra EFI DL captures the essence of British motorcycles from the 1950’s and ‘60’s. Chrome mudguards front and rear, chrome tool box covers and authentic Avon Speedmaster tyres enhance the period appearance of this 500cc air cooled single.

The impression of a classic British bike is reinforced by the exhaust note and character of the engine, which retains the same pushrod construction, with a bore of 84mm and 90mm stroke, as in the original Bullet motorcycle.

In fact this is a case of old meets new, because this is a brand new engine, with fuel injection and unit construction, (until now Royal Enfield motorcycles had a separate gearbox, but the new design combines it in the engine casing, which makes it lighter and more efficient). Power is increased to 27.5 BHP, with 41.3 Nm of torque at 4000rpm, which makes for a free revving machine.

Available from Royal Enfield dealers across the UK, the Electra EFI DL sells for £4007 on the road.
