with the Bullet the shining star of much of the
company’s trials successes.
Just three years after the introduction of the
Bullet into the Royal Enfield range, a team of its
riders took on the International Six Days Trial
and were the only team to not drop a single
point.
In 1937 alone, Royal Enfield Bullet riders won
a total of 37 trials trophies along with six gold
medals in the ISDT, while post-war legendary
British rider Johnny Brittain (a good patriotic
name that) took the now swing-arm suspended
Bullet through its most successful period in
racing.
Brittain gave Royal Enfield prestigious victories
in the Scottish Six Days Trial twice, (1952 and
1957), the formidable Scott Trial twice (1955 and
1956), the tough British Experts Trial twice, where
he was its youngest ever winner (1952 and 1953),
and amassed over 50 major championship wins
and a huge haul of open trial first places.
