And now, Royal Enfield has introduced standard dual-channel ABS on the Himalayan. We want Royal Enfield to look into our problems and resolve it before launching the newer version of the bike. In the middle of nowhere his rear break gets jammed for no reason, since this guy is a highly skilled rider he controls his bike and comes to a stop. 2018 Royal Enfield Classic Stealth Black ABS It gets a 6-speed transmission with a slipper clutch as standard. Both the bikes have become immensely popular in the Indian market and in January 2019, Royal Enfield dispatched more than 1,000 units of the new 650 Twins in the Indian market.The first problem listed by the owner is the positioning on the footrests. That’s good as it means it’s not overly sensitive, but the brakes don’t offer the kind of performance that lends itself to easily locking wheels, or breaking any stopping distance records. Combine that with the compliant ride, partially thanks to the sprung seat, and open ergonomics and I felt like I needed to break out a half face helmet, goggles or aviators and find a manly white scarf to truly make the most of the experience.One area that was noticeable, especially on the freeway, was vibrations particularly compared to our experiences with previous Classic models, and we dropped the press test bike in to Royal Enfield Sydney who explained the most common complaint is vibrations, and this is generally due to loose engine mount bolts, something they diagnosed our machine with, after a quick look.Overall I think my original thoughts on the 2016 model remain true, so check out the full test – So we’ve now got ABS, plus a rear disc brake which makes sense for the ABS, not to mention because mashing that foot lever and locking the rear is probably the most common mistake when it’s slippery.We’ve also seen the inclusion of a pillion seat on the Stealth Black version, while also boasting an extensive black-out, across the engine and exhaust and some raw metal retained tastefully on the kickstart, wheel spokes, fork bottoms, shocks and engine fins.In my eyes, not having lived through the era, it seems pretty true to form and while I’d personally lean towards a regular Classic with the glossy paint, or even a Chrome edition, I can see the appeal of the Stealth Black version.I also felt like this 2018 model had a bit more go than the model I tested back in 2016 (the Squadron Blue Classic), although it did have more miles on the clock, which may have helped.The ABS is also a nice backup, but even in slippery wet weather conditions I had to force activation, or really be doing something silly to get it to kick in.

Royal Enfield is recalling 15,200 motorcycles in the United Kingdom, Europe, and Korea for corrosion issues with a brake caliper. 2018 Royal Enfield Classic Stealth Black ABS The brake is stuck for around 15 mins while we try our shenanigans and then magically releases.
I had my fair share of wet weather and found the bike easy to manage in slippery conditions, despite it still being a heavy machine.With the thin wheels and tyres the handling is easy and natural, with good balance, despite the bike being obviously heavy if you’re rolling it around by hand. Royal Enfield Interceptor and Continental GT 650 have become the talk of the town after they were launched last year at a shocking price tag. The Royal Enfield Interceptor and the Continental GT 650 get dual-channel ABS as standard too.Both these bikes have become quite popular in the Indian market.
