Multiple highly-anticipated bikes and scooters from key auto brands will be launched in the Indian market in the coming weeks
We witnessed the launch of several new motorcycles, scooters and EVs from leading auto brands this year in the Indian market. As we inch closer to bid adieu to 2026 with less than 50 days left now, there is still going to be a lot of new model launches by the popular two-wheeler companies in India. In this piece, we will take a comprehensive look at the upcoming bikes and scooters in 2026 in India.
1. Royal Enfield Himalayan 750
Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 made its first public appearance at the EICMA 2026 in Milan, Italy. It will be the company’s most expensive motorcycle till date as the ADV tourer is anticipated to debut on the Indian soil later this month at Motoverse 2026. The Himalayan 750 comes equipped with a 743cc air/oil-cooled parallel-twin engine which delivers top power of 55 bhp at 7,000 rpm and peak torque of 63 Nm at 5,000 rpm, linked to a 6-speed gearbox.
The braking duties are handled by dual-disc units at front and a single disc unit at the back. The braking system is assisted by switchable dual-channel ABS, cornering ABS, and lean-sensitive traction control. A few notable features onboard are riding modes (Road, Road Sport, Rain, Trail and Custom), cruise control, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, 4-inch round digital TFT cluster with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.
2. Harley-Davidson X350T
It was officially unveiled at the EICMA 2026 in Milan, Italy. Sharing the flat-track-inspired design language with the X440T, the roadster has been built particularly for the Indian market to take on Triumph’s 350 range of motorcycles as it launches in the next few days. Some of the bells and whistles onboard the roadster bike are electronic throttle body, riding modes, switchable ABS and traction control.
At the heart, the X350T houses the newly-developed 350cc air-oil cooled engine which is said to deliver best-in-segment torque. However, the brand has not disclosed the exact power and torque figures. Harley-Davidson claims that it has installed best-in-class USD front suspension on the trellis frame. The X350T will be the third locally built Harley-Davidson motorcycle in India after the X440 and X440T.
3. Italjet Dragster 300
The Italian brand will foray into the Indian market with the Dragster 300 at the India Bike Week (IBW) 2026 on December 4 and 5. Motohaus India will shoulder the responsibility of sales, service and operations while the scooter will be locally built at the brand’s factory in Kohlapur, Maharashtra. Italjet Dragster 300 was also showcased at the EICMA 2026.
Sitting on an exposed trellis frame, Itajet Dragster 300 is powered by a 278cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine which churns out 23.5 bhp at 8,250rpm and 26 Nm at 6,250rpm. The scooter comes with dual-channel ABS as standard. The stopping power comes from 240mm disc at the front and a 175mm disc at the rear. Riding on 12-inch front and 13-inch rear wheels, Itajet Dragster 300 has a saddle height of 770mm.
