Royal Enfield, the Chennai-headquartered iconic motorcycle manufacturer, sells even motorcycles in European markets and in Korea, where it has issued a recall for some models


Royal Enfield is easily among the most iconic names in the Indian motorcycle market today. The retro-style motorcycle manufacturer sells a range of motorcycles in India, which includes models like the Bullet, Classic, Himalayan and the 650-twins.

What’s more, the motorcycle manufacturer even exports motorcycles to many markets in Europe and to South Korea. It is in these international markets that the company has issued a recall for 15,200 units to replace a brake part.

The motorcycles that fall under this recall drive include the Interceptor 650, Continental GT 650 and Himalayan, which are three of its latest motorcycles. The voluntarily recall has been issued after the company found out a brake calliper corrosion-related issue in models sold in these countries.

On further investigating the issue, it came to light that the brake calliper is prone to corrosion on being subjected to sustained, long term exposure to usage on roads that have been treated with a certain combination of salts to prevent the formation of ice during the winter season.

This corrosion is known to damage the brake calliper piston bore and assemblies, which, in turn, leads to unusual braking sound, higher brake drag and even reduced braking efficiency. Also, it is worth a mention here that even though the issue is known to have affected only a few motorcycles, the company prefers replacing the part as a proactive, safety-related service action.

A press statement by Royal Enfield read, “This is a precautionary service intervention, and will be undertaken across the UK, the rest of Europe and Korea. With immediate effect, around 15,200 motorcycles sold in these markets will be called in for inspection, cleaning and part replacement, if required.”

KTM RC 390 Modified as Final Year college project

Saurav Verma’s ‘KTM RC 390 SRV’ takes inspiration from the stance of a falcon KTM products are easily the best in India’s single-cylinder sports motorcycle category. The Austrian brand (in which Bajaj Auto has a 48% stake) has updated all its products to BS6 emission norms at the start of this year. In terms of performance as well as equipment, KTMs have always had an edge over its competitors. In fact, the all-new KTM 390 Adventure has set a benchmark in the Indian motorcycle scenario. In the current KTM India line-up, the faired RC range is relatively outdated. Even though we get only the RC 200 and RC 390 in the domestic market, KTM India assembles and exports the mid-range RC 250 in Bajaj’s manufacturing facility in Chakan, Pune. Meanwhile, the next-gen KTM RC 390 was spotted a few months before doing test runs in European roads in its early prototype avatar. KTM products follow a unique design philosophy with their exposed trellis frame, orange highlights and quir...
