Details 2019 Royal Enfield KX Concept debut at EICMA 2018 | Royal Enfield KX 838 Concept 2019
838cc v-twin royal enfield concept kx unveiled at eicma 2018
In Royal Enfield they are living a second youth. Since the British firm was acquired by its new Indian parent are putting all the meat on the spit and after having presented their new 650 twin-cylinder now it's the turn to something much fatter.
Taking as a starting point the original Royal Enfield KX of the 1930s, British and Indian designers have created a prototype of a V-twin that has hit the Hall of Milan hard: the Royal Enfield KX Concetp.
Royal Enfield KX Concept: reinterpreting the future of the brand
Not as in the case of the Yamaha 3CT that is a prototype very close to the production model, this Royal Enfield KX Concept must be taken with tweezers because if it reaches the market it will do so with many nuances with respect to what we have seen. Although the truth is that I wish it would arrive as it is, because it has an overwhelming presence.
It is a neo-retro style motorcycle that borders the classic segment with a much more custom style than we are used to in Royal Enfield. A design without limitations that has resulted in a bike with low and elongated lines with classic influences reinterpreted in the 21st century.
In this Royal Enfield KX Concept highlights a long tank that joins the seat in a natural way, following the same line below, leaving the spotlight to a new twin-cylinder engine in air-cooled uve that could advance a new range of motorcycles in the brand. They have not transcended specifications.
The rims are made of classic-looking aluminum alloy with non-conventional suspensions. A deformable parallelogram fork is used in the front axle, while the swingarm is a single arm on the left side with a hardtaik look that leaves space on the right to the double exhaust line.
Unfortunately, Royal Enfield in its own statement ensures that the KX Concept will stay in that, in a concept that will not reach production, although in these cases in which they take so much trouble showing the design and its capabilities it costs a lot to think that not going to transcend anything from this bike to the product line of the brand. We will cross our fingers.
Back in the late 1930s, Royal Enfield made a bike called the KX. Touted as the biggest, fastest, classiest, most luxurious bike on the market at the time (a claim most bikemakers made, to be fair), it was powered by a big 1,140cc sidevalve V-twin and holds the record for largest bike produced by Royal Enfield. Fast forward a few decades, through company shakeups and countless 500cc singles, to today when the company unveiled the Concept KX at EICMA 2018 and, whew lad, it's something else.
Enfield teased the KX last week with a mysterious picture of the bike draped in a black cover. Gearheads and Royal Enfield enthusiasts across the internet were all atwitter wondering what it could be. Was it a bobber? Was it related to the 650 twins? Was it the long-rumored V-twin? Was it something else entirely? Spoiler alert: It was the V-twin and now we have evidence.
The Concept KX is an extremely handsome bike with its long, low silhouette and sweeping lines that harken back to the company's 30s-era design language. Details are pretty scant, but the engine—apparently an 838cc, water-cooled mill with a clean sheet design—looks great nestled under that old-school fuel tank. A small, cantilevered solo saddle perches over a tire-hugging rear fender giving the bike its bobber bona-fides, and the twin exhaust looks like something straight out of Brough Superior's catalog. I assume a monoshock is tucked in the back somewhere, (looks like it may be under the saddle connected to a single-sided swingarm?) and the front end is a curious faux-girder affair, the engineering of which I'm dying to know about. Lights look like LED units, and Enfield did a great job of hiding the electrics to drive home the KX's retro roots.
Royal Enfield told the EICMA crowd that work on the KX started way back in March of 2017 and that it was largely built as a design exercise to see if the company could do it. As such, there aren't any plans to bring the KX to market. That said, response to the unveiling was pretty positive, so I'd be surprised if we didn't see something like it on showroom floors in the next year or two.
