      2026 RE Super Meteor 650 Spied Testing – New Features Likely

      by

      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

      by

      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.

      Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 and HIM-E Electric ADV Conquer Khardung La

      by

      Himalayan 750 and Himalayan Electric TeasedRoyal Enfield has been testing two new ADVs for India and aims to extend them to global markets. Both are likely to be launched under the Himalayan umbrella, but are starkly opposite to each other where powertrains are concerned. That’s because one is a petrol-powered offering and the other is an electric vehicle.
      Of course we’re talking about upcoming Himalayan 750 and Himalayan Electric (showcased as HIM-E at 2023 EICMA) that have been spotted testing before. Now, Royal Enfield has officially teased both these motorcycles at the same time with an amazing backdrop of the Himalayan mountain range at Khardung La pass in Ladakh.
      Himalayan 750 and Himalayan Electric Teased
      Himalayan 750 and HIM-E Teased
      For the first time, Royal Enfield has officially teased their upcoming ADV projects on their social media platform. Both the Himalayan 750 and Himalayan Electric (both names not confirmed) seen in these pictures are still not finalized for production. Himalayan 750 looks close to production while Himalayan Electric looks like it is still in prototype phase.
      Himalayan 750 test mules have been spied multiple times both in India and abroad, while Himalayan Electric test mules were spied only a couple of days ago outside a hotel in Ladakh. Royal Enfield is testing both these vehicles in the Himalayan range in off-road terrains. In Royal Enfield’s pictures we can see both of them making it to Khardung La pass in Ladakh.
      Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 Teased
      Royal Enfield wrote “Out with the team in the Himalayas doing what we love the most!” in the caption. Interestingly, Royal Enfield used multiple hashtags in this caption, but did not reveal names of these products. #RidePure and #PureMotorcycling were used among others, which are likely to be marketing slogans for Himalayan Electric.
      What to expect?
      The team is testing performance of Himalayan 750 and Himalayan Electric in high altitude terrains. Both test mules donned temporary Red registration plates from Tamil Nadu state. Only the Himalayan 750 had dual disc brake setup, which hints at a higher performance ceiling than what is offered with 650cc engine.
      Royal Enfield Himalayan Electric Teased
      Himalayan 750 is more of an adventure tourer laying emphasis on both off-roading and high speed touring. In that regard, it gets what looks like 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wire-spoke wheels wrapped with dual sport tyres, long travel USD telescopic front forks and rear mono-shock, an upswept exhaust and a tall windscreen.
      In comparison, Himalayan Electric looks like it packs quite a lot of non finalized equipment from premium aftermarket parts providers. It is likely to offer a similar performance ceiling as Himalayan 450 and could be positioned with a premium price tag. More details will unravel in the future. More

      Royal Enfield Himalayan Electric Spied In Ladakh

      by

      Royal Enfield Himalayan Electric Spied TestingRoyal Enfield has been taking long strides in electric mobility and we first saw a glimpse of it at the 2023 EICMA Show in Milan, Italy. Royal Enfield showcased a crude prototype of an electric off-roader called HIM-E, which abbreviates to Himalayan Electric. After HIM-E, Royal Enfield also showcased Flying Flea range of motorcycles at 2024 EICMA Show – FF.C6 and FF.S6.
      Now, Royal Enfield seems to have developed production versions of HIM-E and they could conveniently be called Himalayan Electric. These units were spotted at a hotel in Ladakh, where top management of Royal Enfield were supposedly testing them. Looking at these products, one might say they are close to production spec model.
      Himalayan Electric Spied In Ladakh
      Royal Enfield Himalayan Electric Spied
      Himalayan has been the cornerstone in India’s adventure touring motorcycle segment. The versatility of touring and off-roading in one motorcycle is a fascinating package. With Royal Enfield Himalayan Electric spied, one could expect it to excel in off-roading as the brand’s DNA would suggest, but not so enthralling in touring department.
      Himalayan Electric Spied In Ladakh
      When compared to HIM-E prototype, Royal Enfield has ironed things out a lot with this version. We can still see some exposed welds on its custom aluminium swingarm. Speaking of aluminium, we can see it almost everywhere. The mainframe and subframe seems to be custom aluminium units and not a tubular trellis type.
      Himalayan Electric Spied In Ladakh
      The battery and motor seem to be stressed members of this chassis. There are aluminum luggage mounts at the front of these motorcycles just like in Himalayan 411 and 450. Heel plates are aluminium too and Himalayan Electric gets off-road pegs. Battery case is made of aluminium as well and it has interesting patterns which may represent the topological view of Himalayan terrains or something like that.
      Himalayan Electric Spied In Ladakh
      There’s not much to say about design as it takes a ‘function over form’ approach. There is a single-piece seat element that also replicates a fuel tank element, similar to what we saw in HIM-E concept. A front beak is missing, but we get a tall windscreen. Lighting is all LED with LED projector headlights and tail lights are integrated into its rear turn indicators.
      Himalayan Electric Spied In Ladakh
      Premium components
      Where components are concerned, it is a premium affair on Royal Enfield Himalayan Electric. Wheels are spoked type SM Pro Platinum enduro units that are made of billet aluminium wrapped with knobby type Bridgestone Battlax Adventurecross tyres. Dropping anchor on this machine are fancy petal disc (single-disc setup) at both ends with Nissin Callipers.
      Himalayan Electric Spied In Ladakh
      Both brake fluid reservoirs are located on the handlebar. Speaking of, only one test mule had a braced handlebar with Renthal brace pad. Suspension is taken care of by fully-adjustable USD telescopic front forks along with fully adjustable Ohlins rear mono-shock. There was a sophisticated ECUMASTER dashboard on these mules which was of larger 7-inch unit. This dashboard is positioned in a tower unit like in rally bikes.
      Himalayan Electric Spied In Ladakh
      There’s no official confirmation regarding the launch of Royal Enfield Himalayan Electric. Also, we’re not sure how much of these premium components and features will make it to the final production version. Performance ceiling of Himalayan Electric is still unknown and one could speculate that it may have enough oomph to emulate Himalayan 450’s performance, which is not a bad thing. More

      Royal Enfield Bear 650 Gets More Hardcore With Fuel Fury 650 Build

      by

      Royal Enfield Bear 650 Modified To Fuel Fury 650Fury 650 custom scrambler gets a range of off-road focused equipment upgrades, but retains the core hardware including the engine and chassis
      While Royal Enfield bikes are hugely popular in their stock form, custom jobs have opened up many exciting new possibilities for enthusiasts. In the latest custom project, A Royal Enfield Bear 650 has been transformed into Fury 650, primed for desert races. Let’s check out the details.
      Royal Enfield Bear 650 Gets More Hardcore
      This modification project is led by Fuel Motorcycles, a Barcelona-based customization shop. It is in collaboration with Royal Enfield, with assistance provided from Spain-based Bandarra Motorcycles. As evident in the images, Fury 650 has received a larger 21-inch wheel at the front. It replaces the 19-inch wheel in use with the stock Bear 650. At the rear, the 17-inch wheel size has been retained. However, the Fury 650 gets Mitas Dakar 6 tires to ensure optimal off-road traction across desert environments.
      Royal Enfield Bear 650 Gets More Hardcore
      At the front, Fury 650 gets dual headlights with a rugged tubular protector. The bike uses modified enduro forks at front, which have been specially designed for desert needs. At the rear, the bike gets Bitubo shock absorbers with gas canister. These are fully adjustable and extended. While the fuel tank has been retained in its stock form, it gets grip pads. Fury 650 gets a custom foam seat with waterproof Alcantara top layer and contrasting red stitching.
      While the Bear 650 uses the Tripper Dash, the Fury 650 has been fitted with a retro-styled instrument console. It has an integrated navigation system with GPS roadbook, tachometer, odometer, speedometer and rally controls. There’s a Motogadget unit as well for essential data readout.
      Royal Enfield Bear 650 Modified To Fuel Fury 650
      An off-road focused exhaust has been used, although the sleek design seems familiar to the stock unit. At the rear, Fury 650 gets a beautifully crafted rear fender, handmade from fiberglass material. Other customizations include a raised front fender, rally pegs, skid plate, foam grips and handguards.
      Tribute to Fury 500 and Eddie Mulder
      Royal Enfield Bear 650 gets its name from Eddie Mulder’s 1960 Big Bear Run victory. It was a historic event, as Mulder, just 16 at that time, had won the gruelling 150-mile desert race against 765 competitors. Only 197 riders were able to complete the race. Eddie Mulder won the race, even after facing events like a crash that damaged the bike’s shock absorber, handlebar and exhaust.
      Royal Enfield Bear 650 Modified To Fuel Fury 650
      The bike Mulder used in the race was a 500cc Royal Enfield Fury, the primary inspiration for customized Fury 650. Eddie Mulder’s Fury 500 had the ‘249’ number plate, which has been used in this customization project. Even Royal Enfield offers a ‘Two Four Nine’ variant, which is the top variant priced at Rs 3.59 lakh. This variant also has the 249 number on the side panels. The modified Fury 650 has a chequered flag livery, something similar to that of the ‘Two Four Nine’ variant. However, the format is different and the custom bike comes with additional Big Bear Run graphics. More

      Royal Enfield Scram 440 Recalled – Bookings, Sales Paused

      by

      New Royal Enfield Scram 440Although not officially confirmed, bookings and sales for Scram 440 are expected to resume by June 2025
      Launched earlier this year in January, Royal Enfield Scram 440 is the successor to the Scram 411. It takes on rivals such as Harley Davidson X440 and Triumph Scrambler 400X. As of now, Royal Enfield has paused bookings and sales of Scram 440 due to a faulty component. Let’s check out the details.
      Scram 440 – Engine start issue
      Some Scram 440 users have reported an issue, wherein the engine does not start after it has been running for a while. This is essentially an issue faced during engine starts and not a stalling issue wherein the engine may stop functioning during a ride. A relevant example is a traffic stop, where the engine may fail to restart after it is shut down by the rider.
      As per sources, the problem has been linked to a specific component, technically referred to as the Woodruff key within the magneto. It is estimated that Scram 440’s engine start issue has occurred only in select bikes. It is not a widespread problem. Just around 2% of the bikes could have been impacted by this issue.
      As there is a risk of riders getting stranded, Royal Enfield is working proactively to fix the issue. Replacement parts are already being shipped to dealerships to be installed in the affected units. Owners are likely being contacted individually to inform them about the potential issue and book an appointment to receive the relevant update at the service centre.
      New Royal Enfield Scram 440
      To ensure new users are not impacted, Royal Enfield has temporarily halted bookings and sales of Scram 440. Applying the relevant fix is estimated to be a moderate-level mechanical task. It is likely to involve removal of side covers and magneto covers. The process could take around 1-2 hours.
      Bookings, and sales to resume soon
      An official timeline for the resumption of bookings and sales of Scram 440 is not available. However, Royal Enfield has stated that they are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible. And that deliveries are expected to resume soon. Bookings and sales of Scram 440 may restart around June 2025.
      Royal Enfield Scram 440 is equipped with a refined 440cc LS engine with strong low-end torque, as needed for city and off-road environments. The bike also gets 6-gears, as compared to Scram 411’s 5-gears. An additional gear makes the bike better suited for smooth highway cruising. Scram 440 is available at a starting price of Rs 2.08 lakh, which makes it more accessible than the Himalayan 450 which starts at Rs 2.85 lakh.
      Scram 440 is positioned as a more versatile machine, as it can seamlessly manage varying riding needs such as city commutes, light off-roading and highway cruising. Some of the key features include a round headlamp and rearview mirrors, fork gaiters, a single-piece seat and an upswept exhaust. Trail Green and Trail Blue variants, equipped with wire-spoke wheels, are priced at Rs 2.08 lakh. The Force Teal, Force Grey and Force Blue variants are equipped with alloy wheels and are offered at Rs 2.15 lakh.
