Royal Enfield Unveils 'The 30' Cafer Racer At Kustomfest 2019: Custom Built In Indonesia

The 30 cafe racer is based on the company's Continental GT 650 bike and draws its design inspiration from the cafe-to-cafe racing that was done during the 1960s. To make the custom built motorcycle the Continental GT650 has been stripped down, tuned up, and modified to mimic racing bikes of the 60s era.

Vimal Sumbly, Business Head APAC, Royal Enfield, said, "The rich custom culture in Indonesia has been inspiring Royal Enfield for years to collaborate with local talent and create new custom builds every year that we have been unveiling at Kustomfest. Royal Enfield's simple yet evocative motorcycles make them the perfect canvas for customization, to express the builder's vision and personality."

The custom-built cafe racer features a mix of modern-retro design, with a curved windscreen inspired by the race bikes built in the past to gain maximum aerodynamic advantage. The custom motorcycle features a dual-tone tank which is finished in pearl-copper colour and chrome plating on the sides.The cafe racer also features a steel galvanized custom fairing, side panels, hornet and front fender.

The cafe racer also features a host of custom build components which includes an aluminium Clip-On handlebars with custom leather grips, a pair of Nissin brake and clutch levers, an offset custom set sprockets. The 30 features a custom seat finished in leather as well.

The motorcycle also features a 17-inch Akront aluminum spoke wheels at both ends, a Velocity Stack custom air filter, steel galvanized air Scoop and battery-box, and also a throttle body borrowed from the Yamaha R6 motorcycle. The 30 cafe racer sits on a pair of Michelin Power RS 120/60 ZR section at the front, and 180/55 ZR section tyres at the rear.

The custom bike features the same oil-cooled parallel-twin 648cc engine that is featured on the Continental GT 650. The twin cylinder engine produces max power of 47bhp at 7,250 rpm and max torque of 52Nm at 5,250 rpm.
