Royal Enfield no longer wants to be limited to just the classic brand in the Indian and international markets. In the coming months, the leading company is working intensively on a completely new engine platform and design, moving beyond updates to existing models. Several new models are set to launch in the 450cc, 650cc, 750cc, and electric segments.
These powerful launches will elevate Royal Enfield’s portfolio to the next level. If you’ve been waiting for a performance-oriented, retro-styled, or powerful twin-cylinder bike, the next two years are going to be very exciting. Let’s explore the full details of this impressive lineup from Royal Enfield.
Expanding the 450cc Platform
Royal Enfield is currently focusing on the 450cc platform, which already successfully powers models like the Himalayan 450 and Guerrilla 450. According to reports, the company is now developing a sporty café racer bike based on this 450cc engine. Several prototypes spotted testing clearly indicate that Royal Enfield is working to transform this 450cc engine into a performance-oriented retro bike. This new bike is expected to launch by 2026 and will directly challenge newly launched rivals like the Triumph Thruxton 400.
Bullet 650 Twin
The Bullet 350 is currently one of Royal Enfield’s most affordable models, but the company is now preparing to elevate it to a higher segment. Royal Enfield has trademarked the Bullet 650 Twin name, making this impressive addition to the lineup a strong possibility. This bike could be slightly cheaper than the Classic 650 Twin. The Bullet 650 Twin will aim to attract customers who like the look and feel of the traditional Bullet, but want more power and smoother performance. This model will offer the premium and accessible convenience of a twin-cylinder engine.
750cc Engine Platform and Continental GT-R
Royal Enfield is now making a big move beyond the 650cc segment. The company is developing an entirely new 750cc engine platform, currently named the ‘R’ architecture. This engine platform will help the company compete in the international market. The first bike based on this powerful engine could be the Continental GT-R, which is expected to hit the market by the end of this financial year. This bike will carry forward the company’s classic cafe racer design and will be widely sold, especially in the international market.
Flying Flea C6 and Electric Himalayan
The most exciting news in the upcoming lineup involves Royal Enfield’s significant move into the electric segment. Royal Enfield is rapidly preparing its first electric motorcycle, dubbed the “Flying Flea C6.” This electric bike is expected to launch as early as 2026. Following its launch, a scrambler-style electric bike will also be introduced. Additionally, the company is also working hard on the electric Himalayan, which has been spotted testing several times.
Himalayan 750 and Hardcore Off-Road Variant
Royal Enfield is also planning to strengthen its portfolio in the adventure segment. The company has hinted that a 750cc version of the Himalayan may be introduced in the future, offering more power and capability.
Additionally, a more adventure-focused variant of the current Himalayan 450 may also join the lineup. This model will be designed for hardcore off-road riders, featuring improved suspension and higher ground clearance.
