Royal Enfield Despatch Rider Gear web

Despatch riders rode long and hard, day and night; the message had to be delivered. Royal Enfield have once again harked back in time in an entirely different way: by re-creating the despatch kit from the World Wars.

Style is one thing. Substance is another. Few motorcycles can boast of the appeal that Royal Enfield bikes command. With their heritage being their foundation, they continue to deliver timeless and classic works of motorcycling art. The Continental GT addresses the demands of the café racers and the Despatch line of motorcycles takes us back to the times of the War. There are few reasons holding you back from owning what will always be a rich piece of history.

To further the experience, Royal Enfield have also added to their portfolio specifically-crafted Despatch Rider gear, and we have the low-down for you right here.
