The EICMA 2026 will be held between Nov 3-8 at Fiera Milano Rho in Milan, Italy. Identical to every edition of the motorcycle show conducted till date, we will witness the debut of several new motorcycles by leading two-wheeler brands across the world. Furthermore, multiple keenly-awaited India-bound models will also be unveiled at the event, which is now only 50 days away. Hence, in this piece, we will talk about the top 3 motorcycles likely to be showcased at the EICMA 2026, which will later go on sale in the Indian market.
1. Hero Xpulse 421
Hero Xpulse 421 will make its official debut at the EICMA 2026 a couple of months later in Italy. The upcoming Hero adventure bike was recently captured up close on camera in Ladakh with Ross Branch and Nacho Corenjo from Hero Motorsports team at the saddle. The purpose-built adventure tourer will be up against the likes of KTM 390 Adventure, Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and BMW F 450 GS in India.
Some of the notable elements seen in the spy images are wire-spoke wheels, upright stance, massive windscreen, long-travel suspension setup, and huge fuel tank. Likely to be underpinned by a steel trellis frame, it will ride on 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels with dual-purpose tyres. Mechanically, the Xpulse 421 will debut an all-new 421cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine in the Indian market with the power and torque figures likely to be released closer to the launch.
2. Royal Enfield Himalayan 750
The Himalayan 750 will have its global premiere the EICMA 2026 whilt it could go on sale in the Indian market within the FY27, i.e. by March 2027. The upcoming 750cc adventure bike has already been spotted during the test runs on several occasions in India as well as in foreign countries, including the UK. Recently, a pre-production prototype was showcased in India for the very first time at the 2026 Himalayan Base Camp in Ladakh.
Flaunting a rugged styling, it takes design inspiration from the newly launched Himalayan 440. Some of the prominent highlights of the Himalayan 750 will include USD front forks with preload and rebound adjustability, monoshock rear suspension with adjustable preload, 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels, and a massive fuel tank. At the heart, it will house the newly-developed 750cc parallel-twin petrol engine with top power of at least 55 bhp and highest torque of 60 Nm.
3. TVS Apache RR 450
TVS Apache RR 450 is likely to break cover at the EICMA 2026 in Nov. The road testing of the fully-faired motorcycle began earlier this year in April on the Indian roads. Based on the Tangent RR Concept, which premiered at the EICMA 2025, it will share multiple components with the BMW F 450 GS including the platform and engine, while being the brand’s first motorcycle in the 450cc segment.
The Tangent RR Concept was presented with a monocoque subframe while notable design elements included sculpted fuel tank, USD front suspension, low-set clip-on handlebars, dual-LED headlamps, an under-seat exhaust pipe and side winglets. Tipping the scale between 175-180 kg, it will be equipped with the same 420cc twin-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with max power of 47 bhp and peak torque of 43 Nm. The engine will be coupled with a 6-speed gearbox and slipper clutch.
