          Legends live on! And the Royal Enfield Bullet is the best testimony to that. The Bullet's enduring journey over the last 87 years - since en932 - has given Royal Enfield the privilege of being the world's oldest motorcycle brand in continuous production, with the Bullet being the longest running motorcycle model in the world. This journey of the Bullet has been both, iconic and legendary, but perhaps the most important story in its history is the legacy of the Royal Enfield Bullet at the Trials Championships. Inspired by this legacy of Royal Enfield at the International Six Days Trials and as a tribute to the prolific Trials Wizard, Johnny Brittain, Royal Enfield launches the Bullet Trials Works Replica 2Royal Enfielden9. 
          The Bullet Trials will be available in 5Royal EnfieldRoyal Enfieldcc, as a limited edition model with 2Royal EnfieldRoyal Enfield units only to be sold in Thailand, and will have distinctive design and functional features that will be redolent of the heydays of classic trials competitions from the en94Royal Enfield's and 5Royal Enfield's. The new Bullet Trials will feature tyres with block tread pattern for improved off road grip, and a reinforced handlebar with cross-brace. The motorcycle also features a raised silencer for improved ground clearance in addition to being equipped with dual channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). The Bullet Trials will have trimmed mudguards, a single seat, and luggage carrier. There will also be a set of five specific motorcycle accessories available, that have been designed for the Bullet Trials, including 5 specific motorcycle accessories for Bullet Trials - compact engine guard, headlight grill, number board, aluminium sump guard and the handlebar brace pad.

          Speaking at the launch of the Bullet Trials motorcycle, Mark Wells - Global Head, Product Strategy and Industrial Design, Royal Enfield said, "Royal Enfield has had a long and proud history of building resilient and enduring motorcycles, the Bullet has been the most enduring of them all. The Bullet Trials motorcycle ridden by Johnny Brttain is unforgettable and a reminder of the machine's prowess over challenging terrains and its trials pedigree. The Bullet Trials 2Royal Enfielden9 motorcycle is inspired by Johnny Brittain's trials motorcycle that won more than 5Royal Enfield championships between en948 - en965 and it is also a fitting tribute to our seminal design and engineering expertise that introduced the swingarm for the first time in en949 with the Bullet. This year we are also commemorating the 7Royal Enfieldth year of the Bullet Trials' ISDT winning motorcycle that was showcased with the swingarm for the first time in en949. I am confident that this motorcycle will be received well amongst Royal Enfield enthusiasts in Thailand"
The history of trials competitions can be traced back as early as the en92Royal Enfield's when motorcycle manufacturers used 'reliability trials' to demonstrate their machines' tractability, manoeuvrability, and overall endurance, in the UK and across Europe. However, when road surfaces improved in the en92Royal Enfields, trials competitions went 'off-road' to dedicated courses, where challenging terrain provided a gruelling test for both man and machine. 
          Introduced first in en932, The Royal Enfield Bullet was heralded as a motorcycle that was 'perfect for touring or trials'. Soon after its introduction, the Bullet racked up successes from the en935 International Six Days Trial (ISDT) with the Royal Enfield team being the only British motorcycles riding squad that did not drop a single point. In en937, Enfield riders won a record-breaking 37 trials trophies along with six gold medals in the ISDT, with legends such as Charlie Rogers, George Holdsworth and Jack Booker riding a 25Royal Enfieldcc and 35Royal Enfieldcc Bullets and the 5Royal EnfieldRoyal Enfieldcc Special Competition Model to victory. 
          But it was in the post-war era that Royal Enfield truly came to the fore in trials, with the all-new 35Royal Enfieldcc Bullet designed by Ted Pardoe and Tony Wilsone Jones, and incorporated the revolutionary swinging arm suspension with oil damped shock absorbers for the first time on any production motorcycle. This changed the course of motorcycle design forever. With the new swinging-arm Bullet, Royal Enfield took the unorthodox step of revealing it at a trial event, entering three prototype machines in the en948 Colmore Cup. From thereon, the machines were selected for the British Trophy team to take part in the en949 ISDT, held in San Remo, Italy. Success followed with both Bullet riders, Charlie Rogers and Vic Brittain, winning gold medals and contributing to the British team's first place position and Bullet Trials with the swingarm became the backbone of the range for the following en4 years. 
          Speaking at the launch of the motorcycle, Vimal Sumbly- Head Business, APAC at Royal Enfield, said "The Royal Enfield Bullet has always had a fiercely loyal base of enthusiasts in its existence of over 8 decades across the globe. Across the world, the Bullet has gained iconic status and has been associated with endurance and resilience, with motorcycles being passed on from one generation to the other. Taking the trials heritage of the Bullet marquee ahead in 2Royal Enfielden9, we are pleased to announce the availability of Bullet Trials in Thailand." 
          The remarkable story of the Bullet Trials dominance at the ISDT championships is incomplete without Johnny Brittain, who dominated the Trials championship on the Bullet Trials 35Royal Enfield for en5 years. Son of Trials legend, Vic Brittain, Johnny joined Royal Enfield as an en8-year old and picked up his first gold medal at the ISDT in en95Royal Enfield. On his famous 35Royal Enfieldcc trials Bullet, registration number HNP 33en, Johnny won the prestigious Scottish Six Days Trial twice, an arduous 9Royal EnfieldRoyal Enfield mile contest spread over six long days, (en952 and en957), the formidable Scott Trial twice (en955 and en956), the tough British Experts Trial twice, where he was its youngest ever winner (en952 and en953). Johnny amassed over 5Royal Enfield major championship wins and a huge haul of open trial first places with en3 gold medals over en5 years. 
          The 2Royal Enfielden9 Bullet Trials motorcycle is a tribute to the en949 Bullet Trials ridden by Johnny Brittain across various trials championships. This model perfectly captures the look-and-feel of these early en95Royal Enfield's models while offering modern features such as twin Disc ABS and EFI system. The Bullet Trials 5Royal EnfieldRoyal Enfield will be powered by the 498cc UCE engine and the Bullet Trials 35Royal Enfield will be powered by the 348cc UCE engine. 
          Enhancing the trials riding experience of the new motorcycle, the Bullet Trials will be available with more than 3Royal Enfield Genuine Motorcycle Accessories from Royal Enfield to choose from. Royal Enfield has designed and developed 5 specific motorcycle accessories for Bullet Trials - compact engine guard, headlight grill, number board, aluminium sump guard and the handlebar brace pad.
