Royal Enfield – Since 1901 building legendary bikes
Thursday, November 12th, 2020

Royal Enfield, like many early motorcycle manufacturers, has its origins in bicyclesโbut it also supplied firearms parts to the British governmentโs Royal Small Arms Factory. It created its brand name simply by combining the rather impressive-sounding โRoyalโ and the name of the town in which the factory was located: Enfield, England. The first Royal Enfield motorcycle, essentially a bicycle with an engine bolted to the front downtube, was built in 1901.
