Royal Enfield has a great history to it. It is one of the oldest surviving motorcycle manufacturers in the world. It is even older than the legendary Harley Davidson. Established in the year 1901, the iconic British manufacturer started manufacturing a diverse range of products such as motorcycles, lawnmowers, bicycles, and stationary engines. But their most popular production was that of weapons. Till date, the motto or the tagline associated with the brand is the same. “Made of Gun”, is what the models are known as paying homage to its legacy.

In the year 1994, Eicher Motors took over the company, and that move turned out to be pivotal. The change of ownership led to a resurgence of the brand. Royal Enfield had a tough time in the mid-19^th century, but after Eicher took over, demand started to increase. A sudden and serious fanbase was building for the bike throughout the country. The best part Eicher did was not to fidget with the classic styling and old-school heritage of the bike. They just used the legacy and symbol for excellence and powered it with modern technologies. The idea turned the fortune of Royal Enfield as it is one of the fastest growing bike makers in the country.

Royal Enfield has an image of a lifestyle motor manufacturer; the current company has used it to full potential as it stood tall in the Indian market.
