Royal Enfield, known for its classic motorcycles, is set to unveil four new models at EICMA 2024, including its first-ever all-electric offering. This move reflects the company’s commitment to innovation and expansion in the global motorcycle market.

Expanding the 650cc Lineup

Royal Enfield Bear 650

Royal Enfield will introduce a new scrambler, the Bear 650, based on the Interceptor 650. This rugged motorcycle will feature USD forks, a single-sided exhaust, and dual-purpose tires mounted on spoke wheels. A fully digital instrument cluster, borrowed from the Himalayan 450, adds a modern touch. The Bear 650 will be powered by the proven 648cc parallel-twin engine, likely with tuning adjustments to optimize performance for its intended use.

Royal Enfield Classic 650

Joining the Bear 650 is the highly anticipated Classic 650. This larger displacement version of the popular Classic 350 is expected to share its platform with the Shotgun 650. Powered by the same 648cc parallel-twin engine as the Shotgun 650 and Bear 650, the Classic 650 will deliver 47.4 bhp and 52.4 Nm of torque. The motorcycle will sport a retro aesthetic, complete with wire-spoke rims and a twin peashooter exhaust setup. Alloy wheels with tubeless tires may be offered as an option.

A New 350cc Bobber

Royal Enfield Classic Goan 350

Royal Enfield will further diversify its 350cc range with the introduction of the Classic Goan 350, a bobber-style motorcycle based on the Classic 350. This new model will feature a distinctive design, highlighted by an ape hanger handlebar, a round headlamp, a teardrop fuel tank, and a split floating seat. It will be powered by the 349cc J-series single-cylinder engine, which produces 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm of torque. Royal Enfield may adjust the gear ratios of the 5-speed gearbox to suit the bobber’s riding characteristics.

Entering the Electric Era

Royal Enfield Electric Bike

Perhaps the most anticipated debut is Royal Enfield’s first electric bike, potentially named the Flying Flea. Recent sightings suggest a retro-inspired design with a round headlamp, girder forks, alloy wheels, and a single-seat configuration. A belt drive system is also likely. While technical details remain limited, the prototype’s large battery pack hints at a possible range of 200 kilometers. The Royal Enfield electric bike is expected to launch in the Indian market sometime next year.
