Speaking about the performance for May 2026, B. Govindarajan, Managing Director – Eicher Motors Ltd. and Chief Executive Officer – Royal Enfield, said, “We are carrying our momentum in FY27 with continued growth in Q1, despite the prevailing macro-headwinds. This month was exciting for us, as we strengthened our product portfolio with the Bullet 650. The Bullet is the world’s longest-running motorcycle in continuous production and has garnered the love of riders across generations. The all-new Bullet 650 carries that legacy forward authentically, retaining the soul and unmistakable design philosophy of the Bullet.”

Sitting on the steel tubular spine frame, the Bullet is positioned below the Classic 650 in the brand’s lineup. Royal Enfield already retails the Interceptor, Continental GT, Shotgun, Bear, Super Meteor and Classic in the 650cc segment of motorcycles.
