The Original Royal Enfield

As the name suggests, ‘The Original Royal Enfield’ inspired by the 1900s has drawn inspiration from the very first motorcycle unveiled by Royal Enfield at London’s Stanley Cycle Show in November 1901, marking its foray into the world of two-wheelers. Powered by a 1 ½ hp single-cylinder engine mounted ahead of the handlebars and driven at the rear by a crossed-over rawhide belt, it was the seed that grew into a dynasty. Just like the hemet, this motorcycle followed a very simplistic design. The unique helmet adorns the first-ever Royal Enfield logo that was used on motorcycles and marks the advent of this illustrious era. 

With ISI, DOT, and ECE certification, ‘The Original Royal Enfield’ is an open-face helmet that endorses the highest safety standards. Weighing about 1280 grams approximately, it comes with a face-covering bubble visor, Premium Leather with Polygiene treated fabric internals, and hand-stitched leather trims at shell beading. The outer shell of this helmet is made out of lightweight fiberglass material and has a UV coating on bubble visors. Just like Royal Enfield’s motorcycles this helmet is tested to meet the highest of standards and proudly carries the epithet, ‘Made Like a Gun’. This collector's item is a perfect amalgamation of classic design and modern technology. The helmet is priced at INR 6950 and will go on sale on 23rd October at 12pm exclusively at store.royalenfield.com until/120helmets the stock lasts.

The Racing V Twins

The second helmet is  inspired by the 1910’s. In an era where reliability was as critical as outright speed, racing legends like Bert Colver claimed spectacular victories,   V-twin engines formed the backbone of the Royal Enfield range and the buying public loved their reliability, performance, and ease of maintenance. The second helmet from the limited edition helmet range is ‘The Racing V Twins’, drawing inspiration from the Royal Enfield V Twin motorcycles, which were indeed very capable machines and were instrumental in many races wins across the world in the famous TT Series. 

The full-face Racing V Twins helmet weighs about 1600 grams approximately and endorses ISI, DOT, ECE certification, Neck curtain and D ring for higher safety. With hand-crafted designs on the shells, this helmet also promises improved Ventilation with ON/OFF front Chin & Top vents, Rear exhaust hot air remover integrated into a well-designed Spoiler, and a pair of side vents.
