Royal Enfield adds new models to 2026 line-up

Royal Enfield has added several new motorcycles to its 2026 range, including an all-new Bullet 650 which gets the company's parallel-twin engine.

The Bullet was first launched in 1932 by Royal Enfield, and has evolved throughout the years. But this is perhaps the most significant evolution of that, as it joins the brand’s notorious 650cc range alongside other models such as the Classic 650, and Shotgun 650.

I mention those two bikes for a reason, as Royal Enfield has also revealed two special edition models, including a Shotgun 650 Rough Crafts variant, which will be available in just 100 units worldwide.

“The Shotgun 650 x Rough Crafts Drop stands as a collectible icon, that inspires desirability while reaffirming Royal Enfield’s deep connection to the culture of personalization,” says the Indian brand.

While the new Bullet 650 is bigger and more powerful than before, it still keeps much of its DNA that’s been housed by previous, and smaller versions. 

That includes its “vintage-inspired bench seat”, traditional nascelle, and upright riding position, which Royal Enfield says remains “true to the signature Bullet silhouette”.

The new Bullet 650 produces 46.3bhp at 7,250rpm and 38.5 Ib-ft of torque at 5,650rpm. It also gets a steel tubular spine frame, while suspension is taken care of via a 43mm telescopic fork, with 120mm of travel. At the rear is a twin shock with 90mm of travel. 

Braking sees a single 320mm disc gripped by a twin-piston floating caliper at the front, while a single 300mm disc is also paired with a twin-piston floating caliper at the rear. The new Bullet 650 also gains dual channel ABS.

Royal Enfield’s Bullet 650 is available in a Battleship Blue and Cannon Black colourways, but it’s the latter that will only be sold in Europe and North America. The Cannon Black edition will arrive in dealerships at a price of £6,749, and it will  be available from 2026. 

Transitioning away from the Bullet 650, the new Classic 650 Special Edition features a stunning gold livery and has been revealed as part of Royal Enfield’s 125-year celebration. The standard Classic 650 was revealed this time last year, and is a bike we tested in the UK.

While we’re expecting a new Himalayan 750 model to be unveiled soon, the first model within the adventure bike’s range to be unveiled is the new Mana Black Edition. The new model shares the same 450cc platform as its standard Himalayan 450 sibling. 

The new Himalayan Mana 450 model is equipped with Black Rally hand guards, and a Black Rally seat as standard. It also gets a Rally mud guard designed for rugged trails, and tubeless spoked wheels that Royal Enfield says “offer durability with modern convenience”. 

The Royal Enfield Himalayan Mana Black Edition will be available in the UK at a price of £6,400, with bookings already open.  

Last but certainly not least is Royal Enfield's sub-brand, Flying Flea, which welcomes a new Scrambler edition for 2026. It claims to combine “lightweight structure and refined design with off-road ability”, according to the company. It features a USD front fork, a chain final drive, and a 19-inch front wheel and 18-inch rear setup.

B. Govindarajan, Managing Director at Eicher Motors Ltd., and Chief Executive Officer at Royal Enfield, said:

“EICMA 2025 is as much a celebration of our 125-year heritage as it is a showcase of our evolution. The motorcycles unveiled here represent our commitment to timeless design, purposeful innovation, and the spirit of Pure Motorcycling. We are honoring our heritage by unveiling the Classic 650 125th Anniversary Special Edition, a seamless blend of legacy and modern innovation. 

“Simultaneously, we strengthen our core segments with the purpose-built Himalayan Mana Black Edition and the Bullet 650, which breathes new life into an icon that has defined generations. Solidifying our electric future, we are expanding the Flying Flea portfolio with the FF.S6, preparing for a launch in 2026. Looking forward, we will keep propagating the Royal Enfield DNA, offering riders around the world a blend of authenticity, innovation, and Pure Motorcycling.”
