Royal Enfield showcases custom built Surf Racer and Gentleman Brat at Wheels and Waves festival

1/5

Royal Enfield is attending the Wheels and Waves, a festival held every year in the French town of Biarritz. Over the years, this festival has built a culture around personalisation of motorcycles and art and fun. Royal Enfield first showcased its custom-built motorcycles at this festival in the year 2016. This year, Royal Enfield has come up with two new custom bikes based on the Continental GT and the Himalayan – the Surf Racer and the Gentleman Brat.

2/5

The Surf Racer is based on the Continental GT, a cafe racer that has been stripped further for an ultra light-weight motorcycle. It is powered by a 535cc engine that has been tuned for extra power.

3/5

It has gets an under seat “jet” style tail exhaust, 17" performance wheels, upside forks and an under engine rear shock.

4/5

The Surf Racer has half fairing, and the graphics are fairly simple, but in style with racing heritage. The graphics also include a Sinroja hallmark, which has collaborated in the build of the two motorcycles.

5/5

The Gentleman Brat is based on the Himalayan, the first purpose built motorcycle by Royal Enfield. The Himalayan has off-road capabilities, and so does its Wheels and Waves cousin. It has undergone a lot of weight reduction. It gets 16" rims with fat white wall tyres, and upgraded suspension.
