Key highlights
- Royal Enfield introduces Gymkhana, a new expert-led rider skilling and certification platform
- Open to all riders, not just Royal Enfield owners
- Real-world skill drills across on-road and off-road tracks using multiple motorcycles
Royal Enfield has just rolled out something refreshingly different. It calls it Gymkhana, and no, it is not a new motorcycle. It is a rider training program that actually sounds fun and useful.
Launched in Bengaluru, Royal Enfield Gymkhana is a structured skilling platform built around expert coaching, progressive levels, and certifications. The goal is simple. Help riders get better at riding. Not just faster. Not just braver. But smoother, safer, and smarter.
The best part? You do not need to own a Royal Enfield to join in. If you ride anything on two wheels, you are welcome.
What Gymkhana is all about
Gymkhana offers two-hour certification modules. Riders train and compete across six different tracks. They also get seat time on four different motorcycles. The format mixes guided drills with real-world challenges.
Gymkhana is all about learning how to control a bike better. How to brake harder without panic. How to corner with confidence. How to handle rough terrain without clenching every muscle in your body.
Royal Enfield built purpose-made arenas. Each one focuses on a different riding skill.
- There is Drift and Drag on the Guerrilla 450. Think throttle control and straight-line stability.
- There are Off-road Sessions on the Himalayan 450. This one is all about balance and terrain management.
- The Hustle Arena uses the Hunter 350. It sharpens low-speed control and agility.
- Urban Enduro runs on the Scram 440. This blends road riding with mild off-road challenges.
Each experience builds a specific skill set. Together, they create a more complete rider.
A smart move for Indian riders
India has more motorcycles than riding schools. Most riders learn from friends. Gymkhana fills a real gap. It offers structured training. It uses modern bikes. It focuses on real-world riding skills. It stays brand-agnostic.
Right now, Gymkhana has launched in Bengaluru. Royal Enfield has not confirmed a nationwide rollout yet. But let us be honest. If this clicks, it will travel fast.
