This one also gets the same 5-speed gearbox.

Introducing the new motorcycles, Rudratej (Rudy) Singh, President, Royal Enfield said, "We try to stick to doing things that are authentic. In that spirit, the new Gunmetal Grey and Stealth Black variants of the Classic are an ode to our riders and their journeys. It is an authentic expression of self and a celebration of the dark and the spirit of the various shades of the night when a rider reminisces the day gone by and the day that is to unfold. We are confident that this will resonate with riders and aspirants who believe in what we believe. Pure Motorcycling. With these new Classic additions, riders have more ways to tell their story"
