Experience the full 2025 line-up – including the all-new Bear 650 and Classic 650 – on May 2nd
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.
For those keen to take part, here’s what you’ll need:
- A full Category A motorcycle licence
- Your own riding gear
- A valid DVLA check code (available online via GOV.UK)
In return, riders will enjoy an hour-long demo on their selected Royal Enfield model, with light refreshments and drinks available on site to keep spirits high throughout the day.
This Sykes-hosted event is just the first stop on Royal Enfield’s REDD calendar. The brand will continue its tour across the UK with further events planned, including:
- QB Motorcycles, West Midlands – Saturday, 31st May
(89-91 High St, Quarry Bank, Brierley Hill DY5 2AD) - Midwest Moto, Stourport-on-Severn – Saturday, 7th June
(Business Park, Ribbesford Rd, DY13 0TF)
Whether you’re a seasoned rider or just beginning your Royal Enfield journey, the REDD events are an ideal way to experience the soul and simplicity that define the brand. Mark your calendar, gear up, and join the ride.
