These limited edition Royal Enfield Classic 500 motorcycles, draped in a shade of ‘Stealth Black’, were a part of NSGs 40 day motorcycle expedition, aimed at spreading awareness about fighting terrorism and serving the nation. Travelling a distance of over 8000 kms, 15 Braveheart Black Cat NSG Commandos, riding these REs, spread the message of collective responsibility towards fighting terror among citizens. This NSG motorcycle expedition also commemorated the NSG’s 33 years of service to the nation.
