Quick Overview Of the Royal Enfiled Bobber
The design of the bobber 838 is based on the KX 1140. It has the same bobber type design with low seat height, fat tyres and round headlamps. The Bobber 838 concept has a perfect combination of retro design and modern equipment. The production-ready design will look much simpler than the concept version.
The Royal Enfield Bobber 838 will be equipped with an 838cc V-twin, air-cooled engine. It will be the third twin-cylinder bike from Royal Enfield stable. The power & torque figures are not revealed yet, but we expect it to produce 70-80 HP of max power and 80-90 Nm of peak torque.
The engine will be mated to a six-speed gearbox like the 650cc twin. The Royal Enfield Bobber 838 will the most powerful bike from the Enfield lineup, replacing the Interceptor and Continental GT. It will be powerful enough to cruise at triple-digit speed on the highway with ease. The mileage output will be on the lower side, due to the bigger and powerful engine.
The Royal Enfield Bobber 838 will be equipped with a USD front fork and dual hydraulic rear shock absorbers. To stop this beast, Royal Enfield will use ByBre callipers dual disc brakes at the front wheel and ByBre callipers single disc brakes at the rear wheel. It will come with BOSCH Dual-Channel ABS as a standard offering.
It will be loaded with premium equipment like a fully-digital instrument cluster, LED lighting and single-sided swingarm. The concept version of the Royal Enfield Bobber 838 features a unique round LED headlamps and LCD console with Bluetooth connectivity. These features might be retained on the production-ready version.
Verdict On Royal Enfield Bobber 838
The Bobber KX from Royal Enfield is undoubtedly a great concept and it has already garnered a lot of attention. Royal Enfiled has already started working to make this a reality. A cruiser type RE bike was also spotted testing recently, This indicates that the Royal Enfield Bobber is just a few days away from its official launch.
Obviously, the production-ready version of the Royal Enfield bobber will have some cut downs to keep the price in check. It is unclear whether it will come with a 650cc or 838cc engine. A smaller capacity engine derived from its 650cc sibling will help Royal Enfield to price it very competitively.
If the Royal Enfield Bobber is priced like its siblings in the 3-4 Lakhs range then it will have a large number of potential buyers. Also, Royal Enfield may cut down on some premium equipment like USD forks and single-seat layout to make it more affordable and attract a wider range of audience.
We are excited to see what Royal Enfield comes up with, we hope it is something as good as the 650cc twins. The Royal Enfield Bobber 838 will have great success in the Indian market if it is priced below the 5 lakhs range. As it has been already spotted testing, it is expected to be launched soon.

I would love to see this come to the United States. It would compete very nicely with the Indian scout 60 and Harley-Davidson sportster, as even on the high end RE could price this 25% less than a comparable model from the competition.
Launching date Pune
Eagerly waiting for release of RE Bobber
