Heritage Classic - Changes in performance (Part - 3)

Hello everyone,

Thank you so much for reading and sharing about the Heritage Classic. I kindly ask those who haven’t yet read the previous parts about the Classic Heritage to take a moment and check them out—I’ll provide the links at the end of this blog.

Now, let’s dive in! One of the most noticeable changes in my bike is how bold it looks, even though its overall length has been reduced. Despite that, it still has a strong and heavy presence, thanks to the tires. As I mentioned earlier, we replaced the original rims and tires. We opted for a broader, radial Timsun tire. The front tire is sized 90/90 R19, and the rear tire, model TS 822, is 120/80 R18. These Timsun tires not only have a sleek look but also boast excellent quality and finishing. The wider rear tire doesn’t just make the bike look broader—it also raises the bike's height, increasing ground clearance. The short mudguards provide plenty of space to showcase the tires. The extra ground clearance boosts confidence while riding.

We also decided to remove the crash guard, which makes the engine more visible, giving it a larger appearance. To enhance this, we wrapped half of the exhaust pipe with a black silencer wrap, further accentuating the bold look of the engine and exhaust. The higher ground clearance and exposed engine create a solid, powerful visual core for the bike. Additionally, we replaced the iconic Royal Enfield headlight shade and swapped the chrome ring around the headlight for a matte black one. Our goal was to minimize the chrome and give the bike a modern touch, so we also changed the chrome backing of the indicators to matte black.

As I’ve mentioned in my previous blogs, my father and I wanted to give our bike a modern makeover while keeping its classic, retro charm.

The Ultimate Guide to Turbo Engines: Power, Efficiency, and Maintenance Tips

Turbocharged engines, often called "turbo engines," have become synonymous with high performance and fuel efficiency in modern vehicles. But what exactly are turbo engines, and why are they revolutionizing the automotive world?  This comprehensive guide explores how turbo engines work, their advantages, common applications, and tips to maintain their performance. What is a Turbocharged Engine? A turbocharged engine uses a turbine-driven forced induction system (the turbocharger) to increase its efficiency and power output. The turbocharger compresses the air entering the engine, allowing more oxygen to mix with fuel for a more powerful combustion.
