Royal Enfield Classic Squadron Blue Summary

The Royal Enfield Squadron Blue is a special edition version of the Classic 500. Available in a unique matte blue paint scheme, this motorcycle pays a tribute to the Indian Air Force.

The Indian Air Force also started using Royal Enfield in the 1950s and it has been most popularly used by the Air Force Police. The inspiration for the new colour has come from the Indian Air Force and is a tribute by Royal Enfield to its long-standing history with these soldiers of the skies. The matte blue paint scheme and the chromed components complement the Squadron Blue’s old-school looks, increasing the motorcycle’s retro appeal.

Mechanically, the Royal Enfield Squadron Blue is identical to its host motorcycle. It is powered by a 500cc single-cylinder engine, which delivers 27bhp and 41Nm of torque through a five-speed transmission. This air-cooled engine comes with a Keihin electronic fuel injection system to offer better fuelling. The Squadron Blue rides on 19-inch front and 18-inch rear spoke wheels. Suspension setup consists of 35mm forks in the front and conventional gas-charged springs at the rear. It comes with a disc brake at both ends now, and ABS is a Rs 15,000 option.

The Royal Enfield Squadron Blue is offered as a single-seater and in a single paint scheme. Being a niche motorcycle, the Squadron Blue doesn’t have any competition in the Indian market.

Royal Enfield Classic Squadron Blue Review

  • Good Things

    • Features a torquey motor
    • Ergonomics are comfortable for long rides
    • Wide service reach 
  • Could be Better

    • Falls short of modern features
    • Brakes lack bite and feel
    • Heavy weight demands more input while maneuvers

BikeWale's Take

For the retro-styled motorcycle lovers, the Royal Enfield Classic models are one of the go-to options. The Squadron Blue colour scheme, in particular, holds a patriotic value as it is a tribute to the Indian Air Force. Besides that, the torquey motor and comfortable ergononmics of the Classic 500 make it a great companion for long rides.

      Ankh band kar ke le lo.. It's not a machine.. It's a metal bird!! Riding 500 cc sb far better than other models.. Service experience may change place to place apart from that Definitely it will not be your girlfriend.. It's your wife.. I love it.. Keep defensive drive safe drive.. Enjoy the aircraft..air warrior.

      Best in 350 segment buy it blindly

      5 years ago


      Rahul Devale

      1.Buying experience : booked my re signals, i must appreciate royal enfield for their support, waiting period is only 7 working days 2.Riding experience : i must say re has improved the vibration as compared to earlier 350cc model,this bike gives you royal feel,bike is very smooth, with abs braking system is being improved very much.3. If you are defense enthusiast you can buy this bike blindly,look wise this bike is outstanding.. 4.Servicing and maintenance : ride responsibly, change engine oil routinely and avoid unnecessary throttle, 3000 rs yearly 5. Pros :Army look,abs,sand coating black engine, fuel indicator and abs, riding comfort, exhaust note. Cons:Vibration at high speed,if you want to ride speedily don't buy this bike is made for cruidingWeight.

      5 years ago


      Vinay Reddy

      I bought my bike on my 21st birthday with alot of hopes and curiosity..Showroom helped me to get finance easily and make every thing possible very easily...Then i got my bike,it was "royal enfield 500 squadron blue" i don't feel it was a regular bike..It was a beast actually..Every thing goes well on first 500kms..Then it showed its true nature..My silencer got yellow marks near filters..I contacted the showroom they said we will get back to u with in a week with a mew silencer..I waited for one week i didn't get any response from them..I waited another week still i didn't get response..Then i called them..They said it will take one month..Again i called them after one month still no response..Then i talked a little bit harsh towards them then they got a stock silencer from godown and showed me that's its not fitting and make me to wait one more month..Then they had changed after one month..Initially i am very happy..But after a week again it started turning yellow..I called show room they didn't even respond to my call.I mailed to head office regarding my problem..Showroom manager called me and asked about the problem..He said i will help u regarding that..Please take complaint back he asked me..With in a seconds he send me a letter through mail..He made me to fill all the details mentioning that repair has done it was my problem that writing email to you..My bike is still with me i didn't even take it to the showroom..Still i did it for dealer..Then i had given my bike to manager he kept my bike in service centre for a week and returned without even washing the bike..I taught the problem was solved but know it was started changing yellow again..Now i tried to call them but they didn't respond i got fed and i started using in that way only For a bike that costs nearly 2.10l has a poor customer service..I don't know what re is doing..Worst experience!!The bike has 2,3 paint scratches still i accepted it..Slowly with in a month it started changing colour..Poor and quality less painting!!For a engine like 500,braking system should be good and it should have atleast rear disc..It doesn't have abs too Worst braking system!!Engines get heated very fastly, trust me you can even make omelette on engine..Heavy heating problem..On a whole it doesn't worth of 2.10 lakh but only thing you will get is a awesome feeling for riding..It covers every problem that bike actually has!!Pros-Feel,Comfort.Cons-Poor and worst customer service Quality less paintings Braking system Efi Mileage Parts of bike are not made with quality...Everything other than feel are cons in bike..Hope re gets corrected their mistake in coming bikes..Thank you.

      Awesome bike

      6 years ago


      Vijender Kumar Vaid

      Awesome look awesome bike but need abs ,rear disc option and tubeless tyre royal enfield should work on that and royal enfield should provide riding accessories with 500 classic so that one who owns a 500 classic rides this awesome bike with proper riding gears . One problem i faced during my rajasthan tour is servicing.
