    Upcoming Royal Enfield Motorcycles With New 750cc Engine – Himalayan, Interceptor, Conti GT

    Royal Enfield’s New 750cc EngineTest mules of Himalayan, Interceptor and Continental GT have surfaced online that may be powered by Royal Enfield’s new 750cc engine
    Ever since Royal Enfield unveiled their 650 Twins, (Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650), the company has redefined multi-cylinder motorcycle segment. That is because Royal Enfield launched them at a jaw-dropping starting price of Rs 2.34 lakh (Ex-sh). Thus re-writing the VFM quotient in the multi-cylinder motorcycle segment.
    Today, the starting price of RE’s 650cc portfolio is Rs 3.02 lakh (Ex-sh) and it still holds the crown for being VFM. But there is a new 750cc powertrain rumoured to be under development and test mules donning the same, are spotted on multiple occasions. Here’s what we can expect out of this new 750cc powertrain.
    Royal Enfield Continental GT750 Spied
    Royal Enfield’s New 750cc Engine
    When Royal Enfield came up with their 650cc lineup, powertrain was the main talking point as it was unlike any Royal Enfield from the recent past. Owing to its twin-cylinder engine architecture, it was substantially smooth and vibe-free, something which couldn’t be said about any of the Royal Enfield offerings of that time.
    Even today, Royal Enfield’s 650cc portfolio is arguably the smoothest and the most vibe-free. This vibe-free character is likely to be a strength of 750cc engine as well. Just like the 650cc mill, this 750cc unit will have a parallel-twin architecture. When compared to V-twin architecture, parallel-twin is cheaper to manufacture and will be priced reasonably.
    Bigger Himalayan Spied : Image – Motorbeam
    There is a good probability that this 750cc motor is a modified version of the current 650cc motor. An increase in displacement could either be in favour of a bigger bore, extracting more power or in favour of a longer stroke, extracting more torque. Both bore and stroke may be increased at the same time as well. Throttle body might be bigger too.
    Updated Interceptor : Image – Overdrive
    Royal Enfield is likely to stick with the relaxed character of the current 650cc engine with oodles of torque in reserve. We can expect an increase in performance with this new 750cc motor. More advanced technology, such as ride-by-wire throttle, could be used for smoother on-off throttle transitions.
    More Stopping Power
    With an increase in performance, there needs to be an increase in stopping power too. Royal Enfield is tackling this with the help of dual disc brakes at the front that should provide more stopping power than what is currently on offer with the 650cc portfolio. Test mules of Himalayan 750, Interceptor 750 and Continental GT 750 all have dual disc brakes.
    Considering Royal Enfield takes a long time in research and development, we can expect the launch of the 750cc portfolio by the end of 2025 and it could even extend to 2026. These 750cc bikes will be global products, rivalling other premium and legacy brands with price competitiveness. More

    Royal Enfield Goan 350 Launch Price Rs 2.35 Lakh – 4 Colour Options

    Royal Enfield Goan 350The same J-Series powertrain with 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm powers Goan Classic 350, similar to Hunter 350, Classic 350, Meteor 350 and Bullet 350
    If there is one brand that has etched its name in India’s retro classic motorcycle genre, it is Royal Enfield. The iconic motorcycle manufacturing brand has been launching and unveiling motorcycles left, right and centre. One of the most recent unveilings is Goan Classic 350, a Bobber-style motorcycle with a lot of personality. Let’s take a look.
    Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350
    I remember watching an Indian movie where the antagonist flexes that he has arranged for associates from all around India. Representing Goa were characterful men wearing bright colourful clothes with unique blonde hair and a lot of jewellery to showcase their personality. This is not exactly a stereotype as Goa really is extremely vibrant, colourful and youthful with a personality not seen in many places across the globe.
    Royal Enfield Goan 350
    When Royal Enfield was developing a unique characterful motorcycle based on Classic 350, they came up with Goan Classic 350 as its name. Looking at this motorcycle, the name Goan Classic 350 seems very fitting considering how youthful it is. It was also revealed in Goa, at ongoing Motoverse 2024.
    Royal Enfield is spicing things up in design aspect and the efforts are seen in Goan Classic 350. This Bobber-style motorcycle comes with unique colourways and it also features the brand’s new logo. It is positioned as a premium lifestyle vehicle on top of Classic 350. So, it commands a higher price tag as well.
    Royal Enfield Goan 350
    Goan Classic 350 is the fifth motorcycle based on Royal Enfield’s J Platform – Classic 350, Meteor 350, Hunter 350, Bullet 350 and Goan Classic 350. It characterises itself with design elements like a mini ape hanger handlebar, slash-cut exhaust, painted wire-spoke wheels, white wall tyres, unique graphics on bodywork and more.
    Royal Enfield Goan 350
    Similar to 2024 Classic 350, we get LED headlights and turn indicators with Goan Classic 350 as well. As standard, the bike gets a rider seat only, adhering to Bobber genre. The new mini ape hanger handlebar and lower seat height ensure a unique rider’s triangle for an entirely new experience on any Royal Enfield 350cc offering before.
    What else is new?
    Componentry on Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 is very close to that of Classic 350. Sure Goan Classic 350 gets the new white-walled tyres, for that authentic retro look. Other than that, Goan Classic 350 is very similar to Classic 350 with RSU telescopic front forks, rear twin shock absorbers, single disc brakes at both ends with dual-channel ABS.
    Royal Enfield Goan 350
    Instrument cluster is also the same and has a spot for RE’s Tripper Screen for navigation and other features. The same J-Series 349cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine powers Goan Classic 350, generating 20.2 bhp of peak power and 27 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. Prices start from Rs 2.35 lakh for the single tone colours and Rs 2.38 lakh for the dual tone colour option (ex-sh). More

    Royal Enfield Scram 440 Debuts – 6-speed Gearbox, More Power, Torque

    Royal Enfield Scram 440 DebutsThe just debuted Royal Enfield Scram 440 is the spiritual successor of Scram 411 and it will be launched in January 2025
    Iconic motorcycle manufacturer, Royal Enfield, is currently on a roll revealing and launching new motorcycles left, right and centre. The company just launched Interceptor Bear 650 in India, showcased Goan Classic 350 and now, it has debuted Scram 440 at Motoverse 2024 in Goa, which is the spiritual successor of Scram 411. Let’s take a look.
    Royal Enfield Scram 440 Debuts
    Right after showcasing Goan Classic 350 Bobber-style motorcycle, Royal Enfield has taken the veil off its new scrambler. Instead of positioning it on the Sherpa 450 platform underpinning Himalayan 450 and Guerrilla 450, Scram 440 is positioned on the same platform that underpinned Scram 411. There are as many as 5 unique colourways with Scram 440.
    Royal Enfield Scram 440 Debuts
    Unlike its predecessor which derived its powertrain from Himalayan 411, Scram 440 doesn’t derive the Sherpa 450 engine from Himalayan 450. Instead, it is powered by a modified version of 411 block displacing 443cc, courtesy of a 3mm bigger bore on its long-stroke (LS) engine.
    Results of which, Scram 440 now boasts 25.4 bhp of peak power and 34 Nm of peak torque. When compared to Scram 411, performance metrics are up by a total of 1 bhp and 2 Nm. However, the main change over Scram 411 comes in the form of a 6-speed gearbox, replacing the older 5-speed unit.
    Royal Enfield Scram 440 Alloy Wheel
    This should change this motorcycle’s performance characteristics, unlocking better highway cruising speeds. For enthusiasts, main draw for Scram over Himalayan was its lower kerb weight and manoeuvrability. I personally know someone who sold their Himalayan 411 in favour of Scram 411.
    New Variants, Improved Components
    Unlike Scram 411, Royal Enfield Scram 440 comes in two distinct variants – Trail and Force. Trail variant stays true to its name with wire-spoke wheels with block-pattern tyres, while Force variant comes is more road biased as it gets alloy wheels with tubeless tyres.
    Royal Enfield Scram 440 Accessories
    Braking equipment now gets bigger calipers than before. Which is a good thing considering the added performance. There is dual-channel ABS as standard, which is switchable, if rider wants to have some fun off-road. Seat height is 795 mm despite the ground clearance being 200 mm, which is very accessible. It would be nice if Royal Enfield offered a Tripper Screen as standard.
    Overall design and aesthetics are similar to Scram 411. Notable features include knuckle guards, single-piece seat, circular semi-digital instrument cluster, circular fully LED headlight, circular ORVMs, halogen turn indicators and playful dual-tone colours, among others. While an exact launch date has not been announced, Royal Enfield is expected to launch it in January 2025.

    Royal Enfield 750cc Faired Motorcycle SpiedUpcoming Royal Enfield Faired Motorcycle Spotted: A New Chapter in Performance and Design with Potential 750cc Engine
    Royal Enfield continues to captivate motorcycle enthusiasts with exciting developments in its mid-capacity range. The latest spy shots of a new faired motorcycle, likely based on the Continental GT 650, bring fresh intrigue as the brand explores expanding its offerings. Adding to the excitement, this is likely the first Royal Enfield which will be powered by a larger 750cc engine.
    Royal Enfield 750cc Faired Motorcycle Spied
    Latest spy shots are credited to automotive enthusiasts Daniel M and Matthews, who managed to spot this new motorcycle in Chennai. This new motorcycle, which could be positioned as a sportier iteration of the Continental GT 650, features several key updates.
    Royal Enfield 750cc Faired Motorcycle Spied
    The most noticeable change is the fairing, which is more substantial and extends lower than the bikini fairing seen on earlier test mules. This new design not only adds visual appeal but also hints at improved aerodynamics and potential touring capabilities. The fairing integrates turn indicators, and the front continues to sport the signature circular LED headlight, maintaining the brand’s classic aesthetic.
    The test bike is equipped with sporty clip-on handlebars that promise a committed, cafe racer riding position. The longer seat design indicates an added focus on rider and pillion comfort for extended rides. Alloy wheels, a black exhaust, and tubeless tyres further enhance the bike’s modern appearance and performance attributes.

    Potential Upgrade: 750cc Engine Development
    One of the most exciting developments is the potential introduction of a 750cc parallel-twin engine. It has been rumoured since a few years now that Royal Enfield has been working on increasing the displacement of its existing 650cc engine to 750cc. This new powertrain is expected to deliver more power than the current 46 bhp output, providing an even more thrilling ride.

If the faired model receives the new 750cc engine, it would set a new benchmark for performance in Royal Enfield’s portfolio. The current 650cc twin engine is already celebrated for its refinement, smooth NVH levels, and torque-rich delivery, and the larger 750cc variant is expected to enhance these attributes further.
