Carberry Enfield V-Twins Ready to Go

By Paul Crowe

The Carberry Enfield V-Twin has been through a very slow and methodical process on its way to production. We haven’t heard much about them for a while but I just got word they’re now taking orders with 12 crankshafts being assembled and 12 crankcases being machined, not to mention they have a number of the gorgeous V-Twin engines already on the road. New owners of the Carberry engines haven’t confined themselves to the Royal Enfield platform either, a builder in New Zealand installed one in a Triumph frame with a belt drive. If it fits, why not? Whether cafe, touring or standard, it looks like a fine machine.

The Carberry Enfield is a Double 500, a 1070cc 55 degree V-Twin with a 5 speed transmission.

The photos here show the clean design and, like some of the other recent creations appearing on The Kneeslider, these engines look for all the world like a factory option. Nice work guys!

If you’re interested in ordering one of these engines or a complete bike, contact Carberry at the link below.

    Looks great. Wonder if they can do the same with the new EFI Unit engines.

    While it is clear how the engine is upgraded, is there any indication how the transmission is upgraded to handle double the output?

    From their website:
    “The standard Enfield primary drive cover has also been retained. The Enfield clutch is “beefed up” and a bigger engine sprocket is fitted to utilize the extra performance of the V-twin.”

    Amazing! Looks factory. I wonder if the boys at R-E are paying attention. There is an unfilled need for good, basic V-twins with classic styling, that don’t weigh 900 pounds and require riders to wear domers. R-E could do this fairly easily using their new EFI units. Many of the parts would remain the same as the singles. A slightly stretched, beefed-up frame and new bottom end would about do it. Even the stock gearbox might handle the load; output would still be manageable. It would be a genuine 100-mph bike with excellent manners, tremendous low-end grunt and good economy; the best of all worlds. It makes current “cruisers” look like something from Pep Boys.

    Looks great! I wish them all the best!

    The gearbox is easily capable to handle the V-twin power output.
    The Albion 4-speed was essentially the same gearbox as used on the old Royal Enfield vertical twins such as the 750 Interceptor, so it’ll easily handle what the Carberry has.
    The newer 5-speed gearbox shown in the photos is even stronger, and is a much more modern gearbox design, and has 5-speeds. It’s a very nice gearbox.
    I imagine that they are using a clutch derived from the old RE vertical twins too.

    I like the bottem two but that Cafe racer at the top looks way to skinny and bitsy.A bigger fuel tank with knee recesses and a seat to blend in with flow of the bike would help. I do like the look of that engine and its great to see it’s finely going into prodution.

    It’s certainly a cool looking engine. I like the CR the way it is, but then again I’ve never been a big fan of knee recesses. 😉

    Nice bike – not sure about the run of the exhaust system but otherwise very good work…

    Nice looking bike in the standard or cafe style. The V-Twin engine design is the most beautyfull in motorcycling. Very nice work!

    I love it, but I’d like to see at least a rear disc brake. I’d love to see it with dual front discs and a rear disc, and with the new unit engine with fuel injection, and of course, I want the kick starter too! 🙂 Very cool!
