Carberry 1,000cc V-Twin Engine
X DETAILS
Carberry Motorcycles currently has a manufacturing unit in Bhilai, Chattisgarh but it will soon move operations to Pune, Maharashtra where the twin-cylinder engine will be built. The new Carberry V-Twin engine carries a sticker price of Rs 4.96 lakh without handling and other charges. The engine will be exported to global markets also, but the pricing and warranty details will be slightly different. The engine comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox and according to Carberry, the engine has been tuned to offer a linear power delivery with lesser vibrations; something which Royal Enfield engines are criticised for. The engine houses a seven-plate clutch with a strengthened primary chain, hydraulic lifters and a heavy crankshaft. The exhaust system, however, won’t be offered with the motor because the design depends on the frame being used and can’t just be bolted on to any existing Royal Enfield frame.
Delivery time for the engine is between four to seven months and customers will have to pay 50 per cent of the amount upfront. We must add though, that the new V-Twin engine hasn’t been given a clearance by ARAI which means it isn’t road legal yet and can only be used for display. Carberry Motorcycles though have added that they are working to make the motors road legal and completely built bikes, with the V-Twin motor, will be made available later this year. The new Carberry V-Twin engine could be a good option for custom bike builders who want the retro charm of an old-school motor while being relatively easier to work on too.
The price after taxes will go up considerably and thus, fans start equating the worth of products above INR 5 lakh with existing stock products like Harley Davidson Street 750 and Triumph Street Twin. Let’s wait and see how Carberry deals with this challenging situation in the coming days.
