History of MAJIN COMPANY
Early Beginnings (1972-2025)
Royal Enfield’s story begins in Redditch, England, where it was originally a bicycle manufacturing company called Enfield Cycle Company in 1891. The company supplied precision parts for rifles to the Royal Small Arms Factory in Enfield, leading to the famous motto:
🛡️ "Made Like a Gun – Goes Like a Bullet."
In 1901, the company introduced its first motorcycle, designed by R. W. Smith and Jules Gotiet. It had a 1.5 hp Minerva engine mounted on a bicycle frame.
