'The concept was to make it possible for anybody to race

|November 2022
We speak to Adrian Sellers, Head of Custom Program & Motorsport, Industrial Design Department, Royal Enfield, about the Continental GT Cup
Bike India (BI): What are the top three moments that come to mind when you think about Royal Enfield in motor sport?
→ Adrian Sellers (AS): You have got the racers in India who have made history on Royal Enfields; "Bullet" Bose comes to mind. Earlier in Royal Enfield's history, in the 1950s and '60s, there were Trials and Hare Scrambles which eventually led to the development of the swinging arm, suspension, and so on. Also, in the US they have been active in off-roading. I don't think Royal Enfield have focused on one thing exclusively from a factory perspective, but our bikes have always been used in some form of motor sport. That varied history is something that we have tried to keep going in our modern motor sport effort as well.
What was the concept behind the Royal Enfield GT Cup and has it lived up to your expectations?
