Engine, Transmission & Performance

The new Royal Enfield Electra Twinspark is powered with a 346cc engine that generates a maximum power of 19.8 bhp at 5250 rpm and a torque of 28 Nm at 4000 rpm. The Electra Twinspark uses a BS29 / UCAL carburetor. The motorcycle company claims that the Electra Twinspark is capable of hitting a top speed of 120 kmph. Now engine is made from aluminum alloy, and weight of the motorcycle is only 180kg. Unfortunately, exhaust sound is not so powerful as its predecessor – the standard Bullet thanks to new glass wool filled silencer by royal enfield, which not only reduces noises and heat transmission, but also complies with Euro 3 reduced emission norms. But hey if you badly need more thump, you can always choose several after market options for exhaust system. Compression ratio on the Bullet Electra Twinspark is 8.5:1



The UCE facilitates smoother operation, power delivery and cleaner emissions too according to the company. The bike has gas-filled shock absorbers that enable smooth riding over potholes and speed breakers. The bike can touch a top-speed of 120kmph and will give you a mileage of around 30-40 kmpl. But the mileage might vary depending on the condition of the bike and how you actually ride it. Well, RE bikers are very well aware of the fact that the Bullets aren’t for mileage.
Coming to transmission part, the bike comes laoded with a Constant Mesh 5-speed. Upshifting/downshifting feels nice and smooth, and the power range spreads out very evenly. With much shorter gear ratio it feels a bit like a Japanese sports bike. Here comes the problem- Locating neutral is still a problem with this bike but according to a royal enfield mechanic there is nothing to worry and the problem will vanish automatically once the bike completes 1500-2000 kms on odo.
