Republic Day 2021: Know why army soldiers use Royal Enfield bikes for stunts
New Delhi : Today the whole country is celebrating the 72nd Republic Day. A total of 32 tableaux, 17 of various states and UTs, nine of ministries and six from the defence arm will be seen going down Rajpath this year. Among these, the tableaux of Ladakh, the Union Territory that was created in 2019 after bifurcation of Jammu & Kashmir will be included for the first time. But during this time, the most special is the motorcycle stunt of Indian Army soldiers, which everyone is very excited to see. Soldiers show many stunts with bikes. The Indian Army uses Royal Enfield bikes to do these stunts. For years, this stunt is done with the help of this motorcycle, but hardly any of you know why Royal Enfield bikes are preferred, so today in this article we are going to tell you the reason behind this.
Powerful engine: The Royal Enfield Classic 350 gets a 346cc single-cylinder air-cooled UCE thumper engine, capable of generating 19.3PS maximum power and 28Nm peak torque. This engine is standardly connected to a 5-speed gearbox. This powerful engine is fully capable of bearing the weight of army personnel. Due to the excellent power, this motorcycle is considered to be the best for stunts.
Strong design: Royal Enfield motorcycles have been known for decades for their robust design. During the stunt, when many soldiers ride together on one bike, this motorcycle is safe due to its excellent strength. Such stunts can damage ordinary bikes, but the strength of Royal Enfield motorcycles is much more than ordinary bikes.
Balance: Royal Enfield keeps the weight of its motorcycles slightly higher than ordinary bikes, but due to the increase in weight, it becomes easier to drive and the reason behind this is the tremendous balance. Yes, Royal Enfield is definitely heavier than common motorcycles but it is also called the most balanced bike. This is the reason that riders handle them easily during the parade.
Attachments: Due to the wide and strong attachment it is very easy to attach additional parts to Royal Enfield bikes. These attachments are useful when riding multiple riders on a bike at the same time. Attachments can be added to the motorcycle’s frame to support riders.
