1948 Royal Enfield G2 Bullet Trials
In 1948 Royal Enfield made the worlds first full suspension trials bike. The bikes (a batch of just 10) were made with rear swinging arm suspension, alloy rear brake and trials gearbox to use in the International Six Days Trial where they were awarded the Gold Star.This bike is the only known survivor of the 'works 10'.
Owner: Jim Hemingway
The prototype had done well in a performance trial and went on to win the trophy at the 1948 International Six Days Trial and two Bullet riders won gold medals. In 1952 Johhny Brittain won the Scottish Six Days Trial on a Royal Enfield Bullet and in 1953 he also won the International Six Days Trial without losing a single point.
