Royal Enfield will launch multiple new motorcycles in the ICE and EV segments later this year in the Indian market
Royal Enfield has been a dominant force in the middleweight segment (350-450cc) of motorcycle from the last several years. The introduction of GST 2.0 last year in Sep made it even better for the brand as the prices of the 350cc bikes dropped and subsequently sales volumes soared higher than before. The company is working on multiple new models in both ICE and EV segments, which are slated to launch later this year. Hence, in this piece, we will talk about the 4 upcoming Royal Enfield motorcycles confirmed to launch in 2026.
1. Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6
The brand’s first all-electric motorcycle will be launched in Q2 2026 (Apr-Jun) in the Indian market. It has been showcased multiple times in India ahead of the official debut. The Flying Flea C6 was spotted undisguised in production-ready form near RE factory last month in Chennai, which hinted that the bike is ready to hit the roads in the next few weeks.
The retro-styled electric motorcycle comes with striking design elements in the form of round LED headlamp, Girder front suspension, detachable pillion set, alloy wheels, centre stand, exposed rear frame, and belt-drive setup. It is likely to get front and rear disc brakes with a dual-channel ABS. The technical specs are not in public domain yet. However, we expect the Flying Flea C6 to return a range of 200+ km on a single charge while performing like a 350cc ICE-powered bike.
2. Royal Enfield Bullet 650
The Bullet 650 had its world premiere at the EICMA 2025 in Milan, Italy. Later, it had its public premiere in India at the Motoverse 2025 in Goa. The sales of the Bullet 650 have not commenced yet in the Indian market. However, it is confirmed to launch this year in our market and join the existing 650 line-up of RE bikes which has the likes of Interceptor, Continental GT, Shotgun, Super Meteor, Bear and Classic.
Riding on 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheels, the Bullet 650 will be available in Canon Black and Battleship Blue paint schemes. Some of the notable features onboard will be rotary switches, adjustable levers, dual-channel ABS, semi-digital instrument cluster, and USB type-C charging slot. At the heart, it will have the same 648cc parallel-twin petrol engine with top power of 46.4 bhp and peak torque of 52.3 Nm. The engine will be paired to a 6-speed gearbox.
3. 2026 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450
The brand is planning to roll out a mid-cycle facelift of the Guerrilla 450 in the Indian market with meaningful updates. Likely to go on sale by the end of March 2026, it is believed to come with an improved rear suspension for better comfort. In addition, the 2026 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 is expected to boast of USD front forks and cruise control as standard features.
Royal Enfield could also introduce new colour options with the facelifted version of the roadster bike. The existing paint schemes will continue to be sold alongside the new colourways. Mechanically, the 2026 Guerrilla 450 will be equipped with the same 452cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled Sherpa petrol engine at the helm. This engine produces max power of 39.7 bhp and peak torque of 40 Nm. The engine is paired to a 6-speed gearbox.
4. Royal Enfield Flying Flea S6
The Chennai-based two-wheeler brand’s second all-electric motorcycle made its global debut at the EICMA 2025 while the Indian enthusiasts got the first glimpse of the Flying Flea S6 at the Motoverse 2025 in Goa. The company has officially confirmed that it will be launched by the end of 2026 in our country as presently it is scaling up the annual production capacity to 20 lakh units at the Chennai facility.
The all-electric Scrambler is developed for all-terrain riding as it sits on the same L platform as the Flying Flea C6. Some of the prominent highlights of the Flying Flea S6 are enduro-style seat, dual-purpose tyres, chain drive setup, magnesium battery case, switchable dual-channel ABS, off-road mode, cruise control, integrated navigation and traction control. The battery specs and range will be announced as we inch closer to the launch.
