Highway Kit
This has been developed over the past year as an
integrated package to provide a modest improvement
in both torque and horsepower . It incorporates a
32mm Dellorto carburettor, modified inlet air
filtration system, and a road legal free flow
silencer which produces a deeper exhaust note. As an
approved kit, its fitting will not affect the
machine warranty.
Royal Enfield owners are often keen to add
accessories and individualise their motorcycles. The
Highway kit is designed to suit UK roads and riders,
adding performance and changing the character of the
engine in an effective way without compromising its
reliability.
Effective, affordable and legal, with full fitting
instructions, the cost to the customer is £299.
The Highway Pack is the first of a series of accessories and
modifications planned for this new Royal Enfield
model. |

Electra
XS |
"On the move, the XS is immensely manageable, surefooted
and manoeverable, with a tight turning circle that puts
most modern bikes to shame..."
Motor Cycle News, February 2007. |
 |
The Bullet Electra XS was developed by Royal Enfield’s UK
distributor, Watsonian Squire, in response to requests for a
machine more in the style of the Company’s sports models of
the 1960’s, such as the
Continental GT and Interceptor.
 The most obvious changes are to the front
end, where chrome speedometer, rev counter and headlight
unit replace the nacelle unit that has served the Bullet for
over 50 years. Flat handlebars complete the look and help to
create a more sporting riding position.
The Electra XS is powered by Royal
Enfield’s new alloy lean burn 500cc single cylinder OHV
engine, which is capable of delivering over 80 mpg (there
are several independent reports of 100mpg plus) giving this
motorcycle an impressive tank range of 250 miles. It is also
fitted with an upswept sport silencer that gives a crisp
authentic big single exhaust ‘bark’ and has the added
benefit of boosting power output by 10% compared to the
standard model.
Stopping power is provided by a competent
280mm single calliper front disc
brake, while Avon Super Venom and Roadrunner tyres work with
gas filled rear dampers to give a reassuringly firm and
responsive ride. The Bullet
Electra XS is produced in gloss black with chrome mudguards.
