    RE Himalayan Cross-Spoke Wheels Price Hiked – From Rs 12k To Rs 41k

    Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Gets Tubeless TyresSince the Himalayan 450 is widely used for long-distance touring, a reliable tubeless tyre solution greatly enhances the overall experience
    Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is one of the preferred bikes for highway cruising and off-road adventures. The bike has a powerful Sherpa 450 engine, robust suspension setup and is available at an accessible price point. However, since Himalayan 450 was originally launched with tube-type tyres, dealing with punctures was a major hassle. Especially when exploring remote areas.
    As a solution, Royal Enfield improved overall experience by introducing cross-spoke wheels for Himalayan 450. These were launched as an accessory for existing buyers and an option for new buyers in September 2024. Royal Enfield has now increased the price of these cross-spoke wheels for existing customers. Let’s check out the details and the new pricing.
    Himalayan Cross-Spoke Wheels Price Hiked
    For existing Himalayan users, the cross-spoke wheels were earlier available at Rs 12,424. This seemed a reasonable amount, especially for folks who frequently used their Himalayan for long-distance touring. Sold as genuine Royal Enfield accessories, the cross-spoke wheels are also considered more reliable in comparison to aftermarket tube to tubeless conversions. The latter does not come with a written warranty of any sort.
    It is reasonable to expect some change in prices of components with time. But in case of Himalayan’s cross-spoke wheels, the price has been increased by a massive Rs 28,221. This is applicable for existing Himalayan 450 users. Now priced at Rs 40,645, the cross-spoke wheels for the Himalayan account for nearly 15% of the bike’s price.
    Royal Enfield Himalayan Older 21-Inch Front Tube-type Setup
    This applies to the base variant ‘Kaza Brown’, which is available at a starting price of Rs 2.96 lakh (Ex-sh). Such a huge price hike for an accessory is quite surprising. It is also possible that these cross-spoke wheels are being positioned as a premium upgrade.
    Rs 11,000 pricing still applicable for new buyers
    While existing Himalayan 450 users will have to pay a hefty price, new buyers can still get the cross-spoke wheel upgrade at the earlier price of Rs 11,000. New buyers can do this by choosing Royal Enfield’s Make It Yours (MIY) configuration platform.
    As of now, the price of the cross-spoke wheels (90/90-21 at front and 140/80 R 17 rear) is listed at Rs 11,000. It is not certain if this more accessible pricing will be retained on the MIY platform. However, to sustain sales, the cross-spoke wheels may continue to be available at affordable rates exclusively for new buyers.
    Himalayan 450 is currently the 6th bestselling Royal Enfield bike in India. In May 2025, sales were at 1,489 units, contributing 1.96% to the brand’s overall sales. In the 350cc-450cc best selling motorcycles list, Himalayan 450 was ranked 8th in May. It was ahead of KTM 390 Adventure, one of its primary rivals. More

    Royal Enfield motorcycles are quite popular in the custom bike universe as these retro classic cruisers act as perfect vanilla donor bikes. Custom bike builders then drizzle their artistic taste on them and carve out sensational looking builds that are befitting to customer needs and preferences.
    Neev Motorcycles is a renowned custom bike builder in the country and is known to have made quite a few masterpieces based on Royal Enfield donor bikes. Their recent creation is based on a Meteor 350 and has emerged as an absolute cake in this Red, Black and Gold shades along with a host of custom components. Let’s take a closer look.

    Modified Royal Enfield Meteor 35
    Considered as the spiritual successor of Thunderbird 350, Royal Enfield Meteor 350 is an important product in the company’s portfolio. It is a cruiser apt for long distances and supports the riders to embark on their journeys in comfort. Neev Motorcycles have carved out a custom build based on this machine.
    There are many changes on this bike. For starters, we can see a dark Red shade on this bike that sort of looks like an expensive wine. This is perfectly complemented by the overall Blacked-out finishes all across this build. For contrast, there is a lovely Gold shade in a glossy finish that is just icing on the cake.
    Modified Royal Enfield Meteor 350
    Fuel tank looks the same, but is finished in a Gold custom logo along with Gold pinstriping. Bike’s mainframe, subframe and engine compartment look identical to stock motorcycle. Custom elements include a custom belly pan, chopped front and rear fenders, muscular front fork covers, new handlebar and a custom fly screen.
    Custom elements
    This bike gets a single-seat setup. We can see a circular instrument cluster and Tripper screen beside each other, flanking this fly screen. Circular LED headlight is an aftermarket unit and so are its alloy wheels. These wheels are wrapped with high-profile tubeless type tyres with block pattern treads.
    Modified Royal Enfield Meteor 350
    Powering this modified Royal Enfield Meteor 350 is likely to be the same 349cc single-cylinder air-cooled SOHC 2V/cyl engine that is capable of generating close to 20 bhp of peak power and 27 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 5-speed gearbox.

    Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Modified Into A Custom Race Bike

    Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 ModifiedWhen Royal Enfield launched Himalayan 450, it was a completely new direction for the brand. For the first time, we saw a Royal Enfield motorcycle with modern technology and features, which were then translated on to Guerrilla 450, a Roadster bike. Now, XTR Pepo has customized Guerrilla 450 into a race bike with a tonne of upgrades. Let’s take a closer look.
    Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Modified
    There is always a special place for Royal Enfield motorcycles in the custom bike world. There are a lot of custom bike builders across the world who have carved out stunning masterpieces based on Royal Enfield bikes. Renowned custom bike builder Pepo Rosell running XTR Pepo has tastefully modified a Guerrilla 450 into a custom race bike.
    Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Modified – GRR 450
    Called GRR 450, this build was showcased at Wheels and Waves Festival 2025 in Biarritz, France. This build was commissioned by Royal Enfield Factory with a Guerrilla 450 Roadster as the donor bike. Looking at the build details on XTR Pepo website, it is clear that this is a massive project and involves a lot of work, but the spectacular results speak for themselves.
    The main change is in the bodywork, which is completely custom. We can see a sculpted fuel tank, quarter fairing, belly pan and other elements made of fiberglass. Then we have XTR carbon fibre rear mudguard and tyre hugger along with a single-seat setup and an integrated pillion seat cowl with a backrest.
    GRR 450 by XTR Pepo
    Then there are the premium components and changes to GRR 450. This build is based on a modified mainframe and a custom subframe along with Aprilia RS 660’s rear swingarm. The front end is heavily customized with a shorter trail angle, low-set clip-on handlebars, repositioned Tripper Dash TFT cluster and fully adjustable USD front forks from Aprilia RSV 1000.
    Premium components
    Rear suspension is handled by Nitrox mono-shock setup and foot pegs are significantly more rear-set than what they are in Guerrilla 450. We can also see a major overhaul in the braking department as GRR 450 gets dual disc brake setup at the front with Discacciati callipers along with a single disc setup at the rear with Brembo callipers.
    GRR 450 by XTR Pepo
    Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 modified into the GRR 450 runs on Dyman forged aluminium 17-inch alloy wheels at both ends, wrapped with Continental ContiSport Attack 2 tyres (120/70 front and 160/60 rear). Other notable elements include a lighter Lithium based battery, aluminium sprockets and S&P CNC machined triple clamp.
    While it is not confirmed, XTR Pepo might have made some changes to the powertrain to eke out more performance when compared to the stock 40 bhp and 40 Nm figures. We can see a new carbon fibre airbox and a titanium custom exhaust from SPARK. The motorcycle is finished in race-inspired colourway to lend a sporty look. More

    RE Bullet 350 Price Hike Up To Rs 3,000 – Colours, Details

    Royal Enfield Bullet 350Bullet 350 is currently the third best selling Royal Enfield bike in India, contributing over 20% to overall sales volumes
    Even with newer options available in the 350cc segment, Bullet 350 continues to witness robust demand. Royal Enfield has now increased prices of Bullet 350 in the range of Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,000. This is likely based on increased production costs. Let’s check out the new pricing.
    Royal Enfield Bullet 350 Price Hike
    Bullet 350 range starts with the Battalion Black variant, which was launched last year in September. One of the key USPs of the Battalion Black variant is its enhanced retro aesthetics. Bullet 350 Battalion Black variant is available at a starting price of Rs 1.75 lakh (Ex-sh). Interestingly, Battalion Black is now priced lower than Military Black and Military Red, which was not the case before.
    Speaking of, Military Black and Military Red variants, are now priced higher than Battalion Black at Rs 1.76 lakh. Earlier, these two variants were priced at Rs 1.74 lakh (all prices Ex-sh). Bullet 350 Standard Black and Standard Maroon variants are now priced at Rs 2 lakh. These were earlier available at a starting price of Rs 1.97 lakh. The top variant, Black Gold, is now available at Rs 2.18 lakh. It was earlier offered at Rs 2.16 lakh. As is evident, prices of Bullet 350 have been increased in the range of Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,000 (all prices Ex-sh).
    Royal Enfield Bullet 350 Price Hike
    Bullet 350 to get slipper/assist clutch
    Royal Enfield is in the process of updating its 350cc bikes with an assist and slipper clutch. This feature has already been introduced with 2025 Hunter 350. A slip-assist clutch ensures lighter clutch action and smooth gearshifts, thereby reducing fatigue and improving overall ride experience. Bullet 350, along with other 350cc Royal Enfield bikes, will also be getting the slip-assist clutch. Such updates are necessary, as rival offerings from Honda and Triumph already offer these features.
    No other changes
    As of now, there are no changes introduced with the Bullet 350. The new-gen version based on the J platform was launched in 2023. It is interesting to note that the first model, GS 350cc Bullet, was launched in 1932. That makes the Bullet the world’s oldest motorcycle in continuous production. Over the years, multiple new versions were launched such as the Bullet Machismo (1990), Bullet Electra (2002) and Bullet Trials 500 (2019).
    Existing Royal Enfield Bullet 350 utilizes the new 349cc, single cylinder air-oil cooled engine that generates 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm of max torque. It is mated to a 5-speed constant mesh gearbox. The new J platform and engine have significantly reduced noise and vibrations. The improvements have ensured smoother, more comfortable rides, even across long distance journeys.
    Bullet 350 Battalion Black
    Bullet 350 utilizes a twin downtube spine frame, with 41mm telescopic front forks with 130mm of travel. At the rear, the bike has twin tube emulsion shock absorbers with 6-step adjustable preload. Wheels are 19-inch at front and 18-inch at rear, wrapped in 100/90 front and 120/80 tube type tyres. Braking setup comprises 300 mm front and 270 mm rear discs, integrated with dual-channel ABS. More

    2026 RE Super Meteor 650 Spied Testing – New Features Likely

    2026 RE Super Meteor 650After the Thunderbird 500, Super Meteor 650 was Royal Enfield’s first attempt at a low-slung long distance cruiser motorcycle. It has seen great success as it packs new-age components, while still offering a retro charm the brand is synonymous with. Now, there is a new Super Meteor 650 spied testing abroad that could bring new features. Let’s take a closer look.
    2026 RE Super Meteor 650 Spied
    With the launch of 650 platform, Royal Enfield has firmly held the 500cc+ motorcycle segment in its iron fist with an almost consistent 90%+ market share. While 650 Twins (Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650) constitute the chunk of 650cc sales for Royal Enfield, Super Meteor 650 sales are not bad either.
    2026 Super Meteor 650
    To boost sales and give this motorcycle a thorough update, Royal Enfield seems to be working on a refreshed model. This new Super Meteor 650 might launch in 2026 and it is expected to pack a comprehensive range of updates to keep this motorcycle well-kitted and appealing to target demographic.
    As seen in the new spy shots from abroad, 2026 RE Super Meteor 650 seems to be retaining its design and appeal intact. We can see the same wheels, fuel tank, side body panels, seats and other components as current model. So much so that Royal Enfield has not even bothered to camouflage it to conceal its identity. Like hiding in plain sight.
    2026 Super Meteor 650
    We can see some testing equipment strapped to its subframe, replacing its pillion seat. The company is likely to be recording data for further analysis, suggesting that there may be a re-tune of its 650cc engine. Currently, this 650cc engine develops 46.3 bhp of peak power at 7,250 RPM and 52.3 Nm of peak torque at 5,650 RPM.
    One particular update could boost the new Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650’s appeal considerably is the addition of Tripper Dash which gets Google Maps support and music control. This would completely transform user experience and is more apt for a long distance cruiser than the tiny Tripper screen offered with current model.
    2026 Super Meteor 650
    Is It 750cc?
    Looking at a new test mule of a 2026 RE Super Meteor 650, one might wonder whether it is a Super Meteor 750 under testing. However, that is highly unlikely as this particular test mule has production-spec body panels that clearly reads Super Meteor 650.
    Also, Royal Enfield’s upcoming 750cc lineup are expected to come with dual disc brake setup as seen with Interceptor 750, Continental GT 750 and Himalayan 750 test mules. This dual disc setup is absent in the 2026 RE Super Meteor 650 test mule.

    Royal Enfield Scrambler Electric Bike Spied In Ladakh

    Royal Enfield Scrambler Electric SpiedThe iconic motorcycle manufacturer, Royal Enfield, has been stepping up its game in electric motorcycle segment. After Himalayan Electric and Himalayan 750 test mules, both Flying Flea C6 and S6 have been spied during altitude testing. With these latest spy shots, let’s take a closer look at Flying Flea S6, which is the Scrambler version of this bike.
    Flying Flea S6 Scrambler – Royal Enfield Scrambler Electric
    Royal Enfield has been taking significant steps towards the realm of electric motorcycles. Known for its nostalgic design and thump of its long-stroke engines, Royal Enfield is working on an electric version of Himalayan and then an entirely new range of urban electric bikes called Flying Flea.
    Royal Enfield Flying Flea S6 Scrambler
    Flying Flea S6 is a Scrambler style motorcycle while Flying Flea C6 is more of a neo-retro style machine. Both these machines made their global debut at 2024 EICMA Show and are slated to launch in 2026. Both machines are positioned on Royal Enfield’s upcoming L Platform, which will spawn lightweight urban electric bikes.
    Royal Enfield Flying Flea S6 Scrambler
    When compared to C6, Flying Flea S6 Scrambler bears similar design and body panels. The main differences can be seen in terms of components as S6 ditches Girder forks in favour of USD telescopic front forks. Front mudguard is also high-set and it gets wire-spoke wheels wrapped with dual-sport tyres with block pattern. Both C6 and S6 gets rear mono-shock suspension.
    Royal Enfield Flying Flea S6 Scrambler
    What to expect?
    These spy shots suggest that Flying Flea S6 Scrambler is close to production-spec version, which was not the case with Himalayan Electric. We can see a lot of use of aluminium in S6 and C6 in their mainframe, subframe, swingarm, rear grab rails, heel plates and many other. This particular test mule had a split pillion seat too, wrapped with Brown seat cover.
    Royal Enfield Flying Flea S6 Scrambler
    Strapped to pillion seat was a AC charging cable with a high-viz Orange shade. Final version will likely get a more polished provision for storing the charging cable. Where features are concerned, Royal Enfield Flying Flea S6 seems to get the same Tripper Dash instrument cluster with Google Maps support along with snazzy-looking switchgear. So, no touchscreen.
    Royal Enfield Flying Flea S6 Scrambler
    We can also see a button on fuel tank (not really a fuel tank), which could be a Start/Stop button. This suggests keyless go feature, which is a first for any Royal Enfield. Powertrain details are not known yet and are likely to be revealed in the coming months. An exact launch timeline is not known yet. But 2026 is the speculated year when we can get our hands on one.
