Royal Enfield is preparing for a major expansion of its motorcycle portfolio in India, with two new 750cc models and an electric scrambler among its upcoming launches. The Chennai-based manufacturer unveiled the Himalayan 750, Continental GT 750 and Flying Flea S6 at the EICMA 2026 motorcycle exhibition in Milan on November 3, marking a significant step into higher-capacity motorcycles and electric mobility.
The new models were showcased as Royal Enfield celebrated its 125th anniversary. The Himalayan 750 and Continental GT 750 share an all-new 743cc parallel-twin engine, the largest-capacity engine developed for a Royal Enfield production motorcycle.
The company also presented a limited-edition Shotgun 650, developed in collaboration with motorcycle and lifestyle brand Deus Ex Machina.
The Himalayan 750 is the most significant addition to Royal Enfield's adventure motorcycle range since the Himalayan 450. Positioned above the existing model, it is designed for long-distance touring while retaining the ability to handle difficult roads and off-road conditions.
The motorcycle is powered by a 743cc air- and oil-cooled parallel-twin engine producing 63Nm of peak torque at 5,000rpm. According to Royal Enfield, 90% of the peak torque is available from 3,500rpm, which should help riders maintain performance without frequently changing gears.
The Himalayan 750 also introduces several electronic features. These include five riding modes, a six-axis inertial measurement unit, cornering ABS, lean-sensitive traction control and cruise control.
It uses a 19-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear wheel, with tubeless tyre options on both cast and spoked wheels. An adjustable windscreen, separate rider and pillion seats, and a payload capacity of 195kg strengthen its touring credentials.
The Himalayan 750 could make its Indian market debut at Royal Enfield's Motoverse 2026 event, scheduled for November 26-28 in Goa. The motorcycle will be introduced during the event, although the company has not confirmed an Indian ex-showroom price.
Indian automobile websites have offered varying price estimates, generally placing the Himalayan 750 in the ₹4.4 lakh to ₹6 lakh range. However, these remain unofficial projections, and the final price could differ depending on local specifications and variants.
The Continental GT 750 is another important addition to Royal Enfield's upcoming portfolio. Built around an uprated version of the new 743cc parallel-twin engine, it is expected to become the company's highest-performance production motorcycle.
The motorcycle retains the retro-inspired café racer styling associated with the Continental GT range but introduces substantial mechanical and equipment upgrades.
Royal Enfield will offer the motorcycle in two versions: faired and unfaired. The faired variant features a lower handlebar position and a sportier riding posture, while the unfaired version retains the familiar Continental GT silhouette.
Despite its performance focus, the motorcycle retains a relatively simple instrument layout, featuring a hybrid twin-pod TFT display rather than a fully digital dashboard.
At EICMA, Royal Enfield displayed the motorcycle in Red Line, TT Blue and Master Clean colour schemes.
The company has not announced the final power output, Indian launch schedule or price. Market estimates suggest that the motorcycle could be priced from around ₹4 lakh, depending on specifications. The figure is not an official indication from Royal Enfield.
Royal Enfield is also extending its electric motorcycle business through Flying Flea, its dedicated electric mobility brand.
The Flying Flea S6 is a scrambler-style electric motorcycle developed for urban commuting and occasional use on unpaved roads. It shares its basic lightweight construction and chassis architecture with the Flying Flea C6.
The S6 features a high-torque electric motor, an enduro-style seat and a circular touchscreen display powered by the company's Fleaware.OS operating system.
A dedicated off-road riding mode distinguishes the S6 from the more road-focused C6. The motorcycle was showcased in Dart Yellow and Lightning Grey.
Royal Enfield has confirmed a summer 2027 launch for the S6, although a specific Indian launch date has not been announced.
The company has not disclosed the electric motorcycle's battery capacity, certified riding range or price. Estimates for India vary considerably, ranging from approximately ₹2 lakh to ₹3.4 lakh across motorcycle websites.
Another attraction at EICMA was the Shotgun 650 'Son of a Gun', developed in partnership with Deus Ex Machina.
The motorcycle features a distinctive red, cream and gold paint scheme, contrast-cut alloy wheels and a brown leather seat. Only 100 units are planned for worldwide sale in 2027.
Royal Enfield has not disclosed whether India will receive an allocation or what the limited-edition motorcycle will cost.
The new models reflect Royal Enfield's strategy of expanding beyond its traditional 350cc and 650cc categories.
The Himalayan 750 could strengthen the company's position in the adventure-touring segment, while the Continental GT 750 would appeal to customers looking for a more powerful café racer. The Flying Flea S6, meanwhile, offers the manufacturer an opportunity to establish a presence in the premium electric motorcycle market.
For parent company Eicher Motors, the expansion into higher-capacity motorcycles could also support premiumisation and higher revenue per vehicle. ICICI Direct Research has identified the new 750cc platform and the Flying Flea electric range as potential drivers of future portfolio expansion.
However, their commercial performance will depend on pricing, ownership costs, dealer support and customer demand.
With the Himalayan 750 potentially arriving in India before the end of November, the next few weeks could provide a clearer indication of how aggressively Royal Enfield intends to compete in the country's premium motorcycle market.
