Royal Enfield has reportedly updated its complete range of motorcycles with BSIV compliant engines and Auto Headlamp On (AHO) feature. The company is yet to reveal an official statement about the same.

This update is in line with the government's norms that make it mandatory for all two-wheelers on sale in the country to be BSIV compliant and equipped with AHO feature. Deadline for two-wheeler manufacturers to update their bikes for the new norms is April 1, 2017.

Reports suggest that production of the updated RE models has already commenced. Royal Enfield dealerships across the country are currently accepting bookings for the new BSIV compliant motorcycles, with deliveries expected to start from next month, i.e., April 2017. Post this update, prices of the complete RE range have reportedly been increased by Rs. 4,000.

Royal Enfield has launched the Classic 350 in three Redditch series variants, which get new paint schemes that are inspired by the 50s-era Royal Enfield motorcycles produced in Redditch, UK. The new Classic 350 Redditch series comes in three variants - Redditch Red, Redditch Green and Redditch Blue. Redditch is the birth place of Royal Enfield motorcycles.

No mechanical changes have been made to the Redditch series bikes as they continue to be powered by the 350 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine which develops 19 BHP and 28 Nm of torque.

In addition to the three new colours on offer, the Classic 350 Redditch series bikes will also come with the Redditch monogram, which was first used in 1939 on a prototype of the 125 cc 2-stroke ‘Royal Baby’.

The Redditch series bikes will be available at a price of Rs. 1.46 lakh (on-road Delhi). On-road prices of the bike in other major cities are Rs. 1.58 lakh in Mumbai, Rs. 1.48 lakh in Chennai, Rs. 1.55 lakh in Bengaluru and Rs. 1.49 lakh in Hyderabad.

With the launch of the Redditch series, Royal Enfield now has nine variants in its Classic 350 range of motorcycles. The company will start accepting bookings for the Redditch series bikes from January 07, 2017, at all Royal Enfield stores across India.

Earlier this month, Team-BHP received exclusive images of Royal Enfield's new range of colour options. The new range has already reached dealerships, and Royal Enfield has officially announced the 2016 updates. 

The brand has introduced nine new colours for the existing product line-up, including four new colours for the Classic range, three colours for the Bullet range and one colour each for the Thunderbird and the Continental GT.

It looks like Royal Enfield's model line-up could get updated with new colour options. It is likely that these colours will be offered as updates for the 2016 model year.

For the 350cc range, the Electra 350 (currently offered in 'Red', 'Black' and 'Silver') is expected to get two new colours - 'Meridian Blue' and 'Marsala Red' (lighter shade of red than the current model). In both cases, the fuel tank, side boxes / panels and headlamp casing will feature the new paint job, with the rest of the components featuring a chrome finish like the current model. The seat is also expected to get a new Rexine cover.

The Classic 350 (currently offered in 'Lagoon Blue', 'Ash', 'Black', 'Silver' and 'Maroon') will also get two new colours - 'Chestnut Red' and 'Marshal Green'. Here, the mudguards, fuel tank and side boxes / panels feature the new paint shades, with the headlamp casing and front suspension cover tube finished in black. The Chestnut Red shade also gets a tan seat cover.

Royal Enfield's Classic 500, Classic Chrome 500 and Bullet 500 also get updates. The Classic Chrome (currently offered in 'Classic Black' and 'Royal Maroon') is expected to get two new shades - 'Athena Grey' and 'Forest Green'. Here, the fuel tank, headlamp casing, front suspension cover tube, side boxes / panels are finished in the new paint shades, with new stickers featured on the mudguards.
