Royal Enfield is kicking off its 2025 riding season with the first REDD (Royal Enfield Demo Day) of the year, offering enthusiasts and newcomers alike the opportunity to get behind the bars of the brand’s latest machines. The inaugural event takes place on Friday, 2nd May 2025, at Sykes Royal Enfield in Lewes, East Sussex (Holmes Hill, BN8 6JA), between 9:00am and 4:00pm.

This hands-on showcase allows attendees to test ride the entire 2025 Royal Enfield range, including the recently unveiled Bear 650 and Classic 650 – two highly anticipated additions that blend heritage styling with modern performance. These new models will be joined by fan favourites such as the Shotgun 650, continuing to make waves with its aggressive stance and custom-inspired DNA.

REDD is more than just a test ride opportunity – it’s a celebration of motorcycling culture. Riders will have the chance to connect with fellow enthusiasts, explore the bikes up close, and chat directly with Royal Enfield staff, who will be on site throughout the day to answer questions and talk through the brand’s latest offers and finance packages. Notably, the Shotgun 650 is now available from as little as £79.99 per month (9.9% APR representative), making it easier than ever to get rolling on a new ride.
