In a recent video that has been doing rounds on social media, the iconic thump of the Enfield gets a major power upgrade with the custom-built 1-litre class bullet, the Carberry Double Barrel 1000. The motorcycle on sale in India takes the iconic Royal Enfield silhouette and has been injected with a hefty dose of horsepower and torque – so much so that it churns out more power than the Maruti Suzuki Alto itself.
Double Barrel 1000cc: Engine and specs
At the heart of the Double Barrel lies a 1000cc V-twin engine, using two 500 cc units sourced from Royal Enfield. This motor cranks out 53.7 hp of power and 82 Nm of peak torque, easily surpassing the now discontinued Maruti Alto 800’s 48 hp, 69 Nm engine. The engine pairs with a five-speed gearbox, featuring a seven-plate clutch.
Overall, the bike retains the classic Royal Enfield look but with subtle modifications to accommodate the larger engine and presumably, the rider’s need for control. In terms of dimensions, the motorcycle measures 2,290 mm in length and is 1,110 mm tall. It has a long wheelbase of 1,550 mm. The motorcycle went on sale back in 2017 at a starting price of Rs 7.35 lakh, ex-showroom.
Carberry Motorcycles was founded by Australian Paul Carberry. Originally launching Dream Engines and Modifications (DEM), Carberry shifted production to Bhilai, India in 2016. What do you think of this hp-loaded bullet? Let us know in the comment section below.
