Royal Enfield Bobber 838 (Concept KX) has been showcased at the Bangkok International Motor Show (BIMS 2019). The motorcycle looks identical to the concept version unveiled at EICMA 2018, clearing the fact that the advancement on the prototype model has not been shown on the Thai-spec model. It seems like the updates will result in a close-production concept and at Auto Expo 2022, the bike may launch in the complete production form. However, the exact design inspiration will be seen at the Auto Expo 2020.

The swingarm on the Bobber 838 is one-sided like the other premium motorcycles of the world, most probably staying until the final version arrives before the fans. The Bobber 838 seen here is finished in the same green shade while forks still stay unconventional on the concept. The side profile of the motorcycle shows an extremely long wheelbase.
