The new 2018 Royal Enfield C5 Stealth has arrived! I have to say this thing is sweet and the pictures don't do it justice; those of you that saw the bike on display at the IMS show know what I am talking about!

This is officially a limited edition; at this time each Royal Enfield dealer is only being sent a single unit. If you have been waiting for the stealth give us a call. If you aren't the lucky customer that gets the one we have in stock don't worry; we have started a waiting list.

Eh, it looks like a matt black C5. Am I missing something?

Nope. The 2018s are rumored to be coming stock with a pillion though.

My local dealer got one shortly after I bought the Despatch; I think that if it was available at that time I would have one.

IMHO It's cool because the motor and exhaust come blacked out stock. Also 2018's have front and rear disc brake!

New Model?

I was hoping for more than a C5 with some extra powder-coating.

So was I, but  think we got spray paint instead ;)
Never underestimate the value of improved combustion efficiency and reducing parasitic engine and rolling chassis losses.

Saw this at the N.E.C in the UK last Nov. A set of those cast alloys that Hitchcocks have really set it off imo.

No need for tubes either.

I've not checked to see if they're available here sorry.

here in oz when I purchased the stealth model stablemate -the gun metal grey it came standard with pillion seat and abs front rear braking.
best braking I have ever experience on any c5. bring you down from 60 mph pretty quick and drama free. if anything the braking system alone restores your confidence.
bike ran a euro4 spec tune.
I did like the screw on gas cap. the smiley dial now houses engine management and abs lighting.
abs light does not go out till bike hits 5 mph. rectifier has relocated to the back of the outside left computer box.
the side stand is shorter and the bike leans more on the lean.
overall I was pretty happy with mine till I was told by the dealer the new 650 interceptor was only a few hundred $$$ more
so I cashed the bike and pre-ordered the interceptor in chrome and wait it out
