Royal Enfield, the iconic brand known for its rugged motorcycles and cult-like following in India and abroad, is preparing for a major product onslaught in the coming months. With a legacy rooted in classic designs and thumping engines, the company is now shifting gears to embrace modern demands — including the highly anticipated debut of its first electric motorcycle.
This bold push includes updates to existing models, all-new bikes in multiple engine segments, and an aggressive dive into the electric mobility space — signaling a transformative phase for the brand.
New Launches: From Cafe Racers to Electric Machines
Among the most talked-about upcoming launches is a café racer version of Royal Enfield’s 450cc Guerrilla, expected to hit the market by 2026. Industry insiders believe it could rival Triumph’s upcoming Thruxton 400 in terms of performance and style.

Meanwhile, popular models like the Meteor 350 and Bullet 350 are getting minor cosmetic updates, including new color options. While design tweaks are expected, the core mechanicals — particularly the powertrain — will likely remain unchanged.

Royal Enfield is also expanding its footprint in the higher displacement category. The company has already filed a trademark for the Bullet 650 Twin, confirming plans for a new 650cc offering. Market watchers expect it to be positioned slightly below the Classic 650 in terms of pricing.
That’s not all — development is underway for a 750cc engine platform, internally dubbed the ‘R Platform’. The first bike from this platform, the Continental GT-R, could be launched by 2025 or early 2026, targeting enthusiasts looking for more performance and premium appeal.
A New Era: Royal Enfield’s First Electric Bike
Royal Enfield’s entry into the electric two-wheeler space is one of the most eagerly awaited moves in the industry. The brand’s first electric bike, named Flying Flea C6, is likely to launch in early 2026. Inspired by the brand’s wartime legacy, this EV marks a major step forward in sustainability without losing Royal Enfield’s signature style.

Following the Flying Flea C6, the company is expected to introduce a scrambler-style electric bike, and eventually, an electric Himalayan adventure tourer. Not stopping there, Royal Enfield is also reportedly working on a 750cc petrol-powered adventure version of the Himalayan, underscoring its dual commitment to traditional and electric motorcycling.
