What Royal Enfield Brought to EICMA 2025
Royal Enfield is planning a storm of new motorcycles for 2026. Still, at EICMA 2025, it was more of a wait-and-see situation, as in Milan, it showcased two brand-new products: an update or another variant of its popular ADV, and a couple of special editions. So here’s what the retro bike maker brought to the show floors of Milan. Now, a classic is always followed by a bullet, and the same holds for the 650s: Royal Enfield has brought out the Bullet 650 in its iconic black and gold shade, and yes, it uses the same 650cc parallel twin engine as well as the foundations of the classic 650.
So the same power, the same torque, the same weight, the same suspension, the same tyres, the same brakes, virtually identical. Now, the differences in identity stem from visual changes and ergonomic tweaks. So the Bullet 650 arrives in two iconic shades: blue and black.
Bullet 650: Design and Features
Now, each one of them gets traditional hand-painted gold pinstriping, and the rear mudguard is boxier. Furthermore, the ergonomics is a slight tweak. Now we’ve seen the same on the 350s. So on the 650s, you get a single-piece bench seat and raised handlebars , whereas the Bullet has a more traditional setup. That’s it. Those are the only changes.
International prices are already out, and India’s launch is likely to take place at Motoverse in a couple of weeks. So, what will the Bullet 650 cost? Well, traditionally, the Bullet sits below the classic. So the same will hold for the 650s. Now the classic 650 costs around 3.6 lakh. So expect around 20,000 rupees less for the Bullet 650.
Flying Flea Scrambler S6: The Next All-New Royal Enfield
The next all-new Royal Enfield at EICMA 2025 was the flying flea scrambler S6 in a production-ready prototype avatar.
It was initially teased as a visual sketch in 2024, but now it looks ready to hit the streets. And again, like the C6 last year, we have very few specs to go by for the S6, but Royal Enfield has shared a few details. So, for starters, it runs on a 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel setup.
It gets an Enduro-style seat and a lot of IMU-aided electronic rider aids, which are switchable and can be completely turned off. There is a dedicated Enduro riding mode, and a few more electronic rider aids. Now Royal Enfield says that the launch of this motorcycle will take place towards the end of 2026. This urban scrambler will come towards the end, but the electric commuter motorcycle, which is the C6, is likely to hit the streets by March 2026.
Himalayan Rally Edition: Mana Black Edition
The Himalayan Rally Edition, or, as Royal Enfield likes to call it, the Mana Black Edition, is more of a factory-fitted, accessorised version of the standard Himalayan, not a hardcore ADV. So what you get now on the bike is a lovely all-black Mana colour scheme that looks stunning, but personally, I like the Hanle Black a little more.
But this edition has the tubeless spoke wheels as standard, no knobby tyres or adjustable suspension though. And many of the accessories you see on your screen give the bike a slightly taller, meaner persona. As a result, seat height has increased to 860mm, which means shorter riders will find it a bit more challenging to handle.
And as for its pricing, well, considering that this bike has a lot more kit and is a more special version of the Himalayan, it is likely to cost around Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 30,000 more than the Hanle Black version. So roughly around Rs. 3.5 lakhs ex-showroom. Now, considering that this is very close to a certain other orange rival of it, would you still consider buying this Mana edition of the Himalayan or the KTM 390 Adventure? Let me know in the comments.
Special Editions and 750 Prototypes
There was also a special edition of the Classic 650 on display at EICMA, celebrating the 125th anniversary of the retro bike maker, as well as a custom shotgun, of which 100 units will go on sale by February 2026. Now, those two were there, with more details on zigwheels.com and bikedeco.com, but the more exciting bikes were the 750 prototypes.
So both of the exciting 750s on display at EICMA were kept in dedicated boxes, with the catch that the Himalayan 750 and the Continental GT 750 race bike were under development. Top 7 SUVs Under ₹10 Lakh After GST Cut (2025 List)
But early details suggest that these bikes will get a twin-disc setup at the front, the adjustable front suspension on the Himalayan, and the 658cc mill currently in use; well, that will be bored out to 750cc. So the launch or the first look of the final version of these bikes is likely to take place at EICMA 2026. So the bike’s launch will take place, say, in 12 months or sometime around 2027.
And don’t worry, fans, the Interceptor 750 is also coming, as we’ve seen it tested several times. So exciting times ahead for Royal Enfield, but that’s what it showed at EICMA this year, and we’ll get you up close and personal with some of these machines at Motoverse in a couple of weeks.
