The Royal Enfield Crusader was the biggest seller among the 250 cc machines of The Enfield Cycle Company, a 248 cc pushrod overhead-valve single producing 18 bhp (13 kW). The Road Traffic Act 1960 restricted learner motorcyclists to machines with engines smaller than 250 cc, which gave makers a reason to raise the performance of their 250 cc models to appeal to young riders. A five-speed gearbox was an option on the Crusader, and its frame was the basis of the Moto-X scrambler, which added leading-link forks and a Villiers Starmaker engine, and of the 1964 Turbo Twin with a Villiers 4T two-stroke twin. The British Crusader is a different machine from the later Indian Sherpa and Crusader.
