New Royal Enfield Bikes In 2020 – Pictures & Details
Aiming to boost its sales performance and increase market share, Royal Enfield is ready to bring in a range of new models in 2020. While the bikemaker will give a generation change to its highly popular 350cc motorcycles, it will discontinue the 500cc models including Classic, Bullet and Thunderbird. Besides this, the company will upgrade its lineup to meet the upcoming BS6 emission norms. Here, we have listed the top 5 upcoming Royal Enfield bikes that will hit showrooms next year.
2020 Royal Enfield Classic 350
The new-generation Royal Enfield Classic 350 is surely one of the much-awaited bike launches of the next year. The bike’s all-new model will sit on a new double cradle chassis and witness comprehensive aesthetic and feature upgrades including a new instrument cluster, 650-twins inspired gearbox casing and new retro-looking switchgear. Reports suggest that the 2020 Royal Enfield Classic might get a bigger BS6-compliant engine (ranging between 350-400cc) than the existing one.
2020 Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350
Similar to the Classic 350, the Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350 will receive comprehensive changes along with a new platform and BS6-compliant powertrain. The spy pictures reveal that the bike will get a single-pod digital analogue instrument cluster with an LCD display instead of the twin-pod unit. Other highlights will include LED DRLs in circular ring around the headlamp, a retro rotary selector and kill switch, new seats and revised side panels. The 2020 Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350 will share its engine with the new-generation Classic 350.
2020 Royal Enfield Bullet 350
The next-generation Royal Enfield Bullet 350 will also be among the top 5 upcoming Royal Enfield bikes that will go on sale next year. The updated version of the motorcycle will use the same engine that will be offered in the new Classic and Thunderbird 350. The design changes and feature upgrades will also be similar to its 350 siblings.
BS6 Royal Enfield Himalayan
The 2020 Royal Enfield Himalayan, which was recently caught on camera, will receive some major upgrades. The bike will get a larger windscreen, a twin-pod instrument cluster and hazard warning light along with a switchable ABS (anti-lock braking system). Powering the new Himalayan will be the BS6-compliant 411cc, single-cylinder engine making power worth 24.5bhp and 32Nm of torque.
BS6 Royal Enfield 650 Twins
The company will also upgrade its flagship motorcycles – Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 – next year. The updated model might get different exhaust tips as we have seen on the test mule. Both models will come with the BS6-compliant version of the 648cc, air/oil-cooled SOHC engine. Currently, the Interceptor 650 comes in the price range of Rs 2.6 lakh – Rs 2.80 lakh and the Continental GT 650 is priced from Rs 2.75 lakh to Rs 2.95 lakh.
