Classic Squadron Blue

2016 Enfield Classic Squadron Blue Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Enfield's classic motorcycle lineup, the 2016 Enfield Classic Squadron Blue features a 499 cc (30.5 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 27.2 HP (19.9 kW) at 5,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 41.3 Nm (30.5 lb-ft) at 4,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 54.5 HP per liter and a 1,250 rpm working window between peak torque (4,000 rpm) and peak power (5,250 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

On the scales, the Classic Squadron Blue measures 187 kg (412 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.15 HP/kg (6.88 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,360 mm (53.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 14.5-liter (3.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 120 km/h (75 mph).
