Carberry Motorcycle With 1000 cc Royal Enfield Engine Launched In India

Australian-based Carberry Motorcycle set-up shop in India last year and has now opened order books for its custom 1000 cc bike in the country. The 1000 cc V-Twin Carberry motorcycle is powered by two 500 cc UCE engine blocks from Royal Enfield and is priced at Rs. 7.35 lakh (ex-Factory). Started by Paul Carberry with his Indian partner Jaspreet Singh Bhatia, the bikes will be built in Bhillai, Chattisgarh and will be shipped across the country. The builder had previously announced that it will also export the engine overseas to custom builders.

As part of the first batch, Carberry Motorcycle is accepting up to 29 orders while the waiting period is said to be up to 10 months. The bike is yet to clear homologation from ARAI, but Carberry says it is currently in the process of acquiring the same.

The original Carberry Double Barrel motorcycle built in Australia used a 1000 cc V-Twin cast-iron engine from the older REs. However, the company has now moved to the UCE derivative for its easy availability. The new 55-degree V-Twin motor gets a dual carburettor set-up and produces up to 52 bhp and 82 Nm of torque. The engine is paired to a 5-speed gearbox with a seven plate clutch. It gets a heavy duty starter and a heavy crankshaft.

The motor has an oil capacity of 3.7 litres, while the lifters and oil pumps run in their own housings, protecting the engine cases from wear and tear. The exhaust system is not a part of the engine setup as the same is frame dependent. Keeping up with modern times, a fuel injected version of the motor is also said to be in the pipeline.

The new Carberry Double Barrel will be using an all-new double cradle frame while a host of components will be shared with Royal Enfield. That said, Carberry has used several custom components for the engine and the bike. The bike will also get beefy forks and disc brakes at the front and rear, while ABS will be standard as well.
