A lot of claims were made that appear to have been exaggerations, like the one that it provided protection like a helmet in case of a crash (!). Having <a href="https://myroyalenfields.blogspot.com/2010/02/enfield-fantabulus.html">missed out on the scooter craze</a>, it was thought that the fairings combined the best of motorcycles and scooters, or so claimed Major Smith in the Daily Mail. Somehow the public seems to have been unconvinced, not the least by the fact that the Airflow added 20% to the cost of a Crusader, for instance.
