Royal Enfield Bullet 650 Launch
The Bullet 650 is perhaps the most anticipated launch for the brand's traditional fan base. Having been unveiled at the Motoverse event last year, the official market launch is expected within the coming weeks. The motorcycle will serve as a larger, more powerful version of the Bullet 350, maintaining the classic silhouette that has defined the brand for decades.
Powering the Bullet 650 is the proven 649cc parallel-twin engine, which produces 47 bhp and 52 Nm of peak torque. While the design remains retro, the inclusion of the twin-cylinder motor brings a modern level of refinement and performance to the heritage nameplate.
New Royal Enfield Himalayan 750
The brand is also set to introduce its most powerful adventure motorcycle yet, the Himalayan 750. Based on an entirely new platform, this model marks Royal Enfield's entry into the 750cc segment. The bike features a heavily modified version of the current 650cc engine, which is expected to deliver approximately 55 bhp and 65 Nm of torque.
Spotted testing on multiple occasions, the Himalayan 750 adopts a design language derived from the Himalayan 450 but with a taller stance and enhanced off-road capabilities. This twin-cylinder tourer is slated for a global unveiling followed by a market launch later in 2026.
Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 Electric
In a significant shift toward sustainable mobility, Royal Enfield is testing its first electric motorcycle, currently dubbed the Flying Flea C6. Developed on the new L platform, the bike is designed as a premium electric offering tailored for urban commuting.
