Royal Enfield Concept KX (Bobber 838) came with the most fascinating retro-modern console of all time. The round unit looks like any other Cruiser or Bobber from the market but comes with an all-digital display and color-coordinated rpm range. The speedometer and gear position indicator sits in the center. The best part for the console is the connectivity options, marked with Bluetooth, hotspot and GPS symbol on the lower side. The modes can help future owners enjoy navigation, internet sharing and other facilities on the motorcycle. The center section holds a trip meter and digital clock, with reading seen in imperial units for the concept.
The Concept KX may get controls on the left side of the handlebar for very feature integrated into the console system. Offering a touchscreen won’t be a practical option at all as bikers cannot keep one hand away from the handle bar to access these features. The same console can be used in other updated products from Royal Enfield, coupling the same to features like speakers on their tourers and riding modes on performance variants. The Concept KX will still take almost two years to enter the production stage, with features like front girder forks getting erased for added practicality and ease of use.
