"This Showcase features the latest KX Concept images & film shot for Royal Enfield and just released in Milan at EICMA. We shot the prototype through its journey from CAD to concept, producing two films, a reveal and a backstory, alongside a series of stills.

The exciting new KX Concept celebrates the heritage of the model, but the Royal Enfield design and technical development teams have pushed it well into the future.

It is a stunning homage to the historic KX produced by Royal Enfield in the late 1930s. The original KX was a 1140cc V Twin and the most powerful machine made to-date, reaching top speeds of 130km/hr and advertised at the time as 'the last word in luxury'.
