Royal-Enfield-110
1936 - Honours were even at a wet and windy Donington Park on Easter Bank Holiday, with Norman Croft (499cc Rudge) and Ginger Wood (492cc New Imperial, left) taking a win and a second apiece in the large capacity solo races. The pair set the crowd alight in the unlimited solo race; despite the Rudge appearing the faster machine, the lead regularly swapped until after the halfway stage. With Croft breathing down his neck, Wood (left) took the chequered flag with a race speed of 65.59mph, but less than a second separated the pair

Royal-Enfield-1960-350cc-Clipper-01
70mm x 90mm bore and stroke dimensions gave the Clipper its 346cc capacity. The 17 bhp
developed by this alloy-head, ohv motor, was identical with that obtained from the 248cc â€œCrusader
Sportsâ€ but, there was much more low-down grunt, more flexibility and with peak power coming in
at 5,500 rpm, a more leisurely ride.
A q.d., rear wheel was standard and the 33/4 gallon tank offered a good touring range. This was a
single-cylinder motorcycle in the best British tradition, would there be enough takers out there to
justify its well-intentioned makeover?

Royal-Enfield-1960-350cc-Clipper
Royal Enfieldâ€™s model designations began to get complicated at about this point; as the â€œ350 Clipperâ€ for 1960 was more in tune with the; spec level of the standard 250 â€œCrusaderâ€; rather than its â€œ250 Clipperâ€ namesake. Actually; this was a new introduction and a breakaway; from earlier middleweight Clippers; in that it represented a detuned and dechromed â€œBulletâ€; rather than the utility model it had previously; been.; By reducing the compression ratio; fitting 6â€ diameter brakes; touring â€˜bars; applying a sober mist grey/black paint finish and omitting most; of the chrome; the sporty â€œBulletâ€ had bred the new â€œ350 Clipperâ€.; At a moment when others in the industry were moving to scaled-up 250s for their middle capacity mounts; Enfield were staying faithful to; the scaled-down 500 approach; at least for another twelve months.
