Royal Enfield Fury

Motorcycles and Powered Two- and Three-Wheelers

The Royal Enfield Fury is the name of several Royal Enfield motorcycles. The original, launched in 1959 at the company factory in Redditch, was a 499 cc single planned for the United States export market to compete with the BSA Gold Star and the Velocette Venom. It was developed from the Bullet with an aluminium alloy barrel with a cast iron liner and a high compression piston, and its engine was tuned up from the 27 hp of the Bullet to 40 bhp. Meant for serious off-road and competition use, it had an 18 inch rear and a 19 inch front wheel, and only 191 were made between 1959 and 1963. The name was reused by Enfield India for a 163 cc licensed copy of the Zündapp KS175 assembled from German parts after 1984, and again in 2011 for a 499 cc fuel-injected single with twin exhaust pipes and digital instruments.
