Royal Enfield Showcases Custom Builds At Wheels And Waves, 2019

Royal Enfield has unveiled the all-new BAAK Motocyclette build and ‘Nought Tea GT along with 5 other exciting custom motorcycles at the eighth edition of Wheels and Waves 2019. Royal Enfield epitomizes this year’s theme of Wheels and Waves – ‘Back to roots’ as it has always taken inspiration from its legendary past. Wheels and Waves is one of Europe’s iconic motorcycling festivals, all centered on the classic as well as custom motorcycles, surfing, skateboarding and the culture that goes with it: music, visual arts and other forms of expression.

Royal Enfield has been pushing the envelope with its custom builds in terms of capabilities as well.   Royal Enfield motorcycles participated in riding events at Wheels & Waves.  The “Two Smoking Barrels” nitrous-boosted drag racer showing the capability of the 650 Twin motor in the Punks Peak Rally, and a Himalayan taking to the dirt for the Swank Rally event.

BAAK Motocyclette-    Base: Royal Enfield Interceptor INT 650

The custom motorcycle has been built jointly by Royal Enfield and BAAK Motocyclette. The build harks back to the past, with a “bathtub” style rear fender concept, but expresses it through uniquely modern proportions.  

Nought Tea GT-    Base: Royal Enfield Continental GT 650

It is a unique blend of style and function, developed in collaboration with the chassis experts at Harris Performance, the Nought Tea GT takes the stock Continental GT 650 and prepares it for the race track.  

Two Smoking Barrels x Sinroja for the Sultans of Sprint-    Base: Royal Enfield Continental GT 650

 A stripped down, lean and mean drag racer in collaboration with Sinroja Motorcycles.   Instead of trying to add more power, Sinroja decided to strip as much weight as possible, getting the build down to only 150 kilos.

Mjr. Roach-    Base: Himalayan

MJR Roach is designed to survive anything.  Inspired by video games, MJR Roach takes the base Himalayan and makes it the most it could be with enormous chunky tires, a formed aluminum single-sided swingarm, and - because why not! - A Garret turbocharger.

Midas Royale (@ Art Ride)-    Base: Royal Enfield Continental GT 650

Art in carbon and gold - the Midas Royale from Rough Crafts elevates the stock Continental GT 650, stripping away weight and adding some of the best performance parts and materials available

Malle Rally Royale-    Base: Royal Enfield Interceptor INT 650 

Showcasing the long distance potential of the Interceptor INT 650, these two dedicated Rally builds were designed specifically for completing the Great Malle Rally in 2019, an end to end ride the length of the UK.
