Based on the Bullet, Royal Enfield’s longest running model, is the Bullet Trials 500 featuring a classic scrambler-styling. It pays tribute to the RE’s Trials motorcycle upon which Johnny Brittain won 50 championships at Trials competition from 1948 to 1965. To differentiate from the standard Bullet that it is based upon, the Bullet Trials 500 sports a handlebar brace, fork gaiters, luggage rack instead of a pillion seat, upswept exhaust and protective housing for the headlamp. In order to make the bike appealing, Royal Enfield has painted the chassis in green in order for the 500 to stand out in the crowd. It also gets chromed highlights on the tank along with pinstriping.
The Bullet Trials 500 is powered by the same 499cc single-cylinder air-cooled unit that is capable of producing 27.2bhp and 41.3Nm mated to a five-speed gearbox. For suspension duties, the motorcycle comes with telescopic forks up front and twin shock absorber at the rear. Braking is done by disc brakes at both ends and is equipped with dual-channel ABS. In order to complete its scrambler look, the Bullet 500 Trials comes with 19-inch front and 18-inch spoke wheels shod with dual purpose tyres.

Nothing exciting in this bike except for dual channel. Exhaust is raised to make it look attractive and aggressive. No major design change. Feels like came old bike being ridden on the roads of punjab village with customized silencer. Heavy bike with better breaking and couple tweaks. Not done re. As the name suggests, better to keep it for trials only. Mass production??? not a good idea.

Turning the pages of history
5 years ago
Sumit Singhal
Why royal enfield is more interested in turning the pages of history rather than giving us an all purpose neo-retro bike. With classic they have tasted success but it seems they have not analyzed the reasons for their success properly. Limited edition variants of classic based on some historic lineages have been successful too but the continental gt failed and himalayan is selling in low numbers. There were high expectations from twins but why did they chose the form factor of an already failed product i.E. Continental gt for their new engine. they must understand what their bikes stand for the indian customer. After all most of these bikes are used for daily commute in bumper to bumper traffic and a few leisurely highway trips. Who would like to race a royal enfield? i guess nobody! those were different times but now there are specialized products available for racing. People would take their re on adventure tours to remote locations in himalayas because of the reliability of the bike, the reliability that has come from the age old simple mechanicals. Would i let a village mechanic to touch my re twin? no! Presently, there are products that are sophisticated but more reliable than re.So re get your act together and give us a retro looking but truly modern twin cylinder low rider cruiser.
