After launching the Hunter 350 and the new Super Meteor 650, Royal Enfield is now planning to launch multiple new motorcycles in 350cc, 450cc and 650cc category. The company will use the existing J platform for the next-gen Bullet 350. On the other hand, RE will have a new 450cc platform to develop two new motorcycles. Adding to it, the company will launch the updated versions of the existing Interceptor & Continental GT 650. Here is the list of top 5 upcoming new Royal Enfield Bikes to be launched in our market in 2023-24.
New Gen Royal Enfield Bullet 350
First introduced in 1948, the RE Bullet 350 has been the longest running motorcycle. In the company’s line-up, the Bullet is the only model to offer the older, UCE engine. The brand’s popular Classic 350, Meteor 350 and the Hunter 350 are based on the latest gen J-platform. The company is ready to launch the new-gen Bullet 350, which is based on the J platform. It is powered by a 346cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that produces 20.2bhp and 27Nm of torque, and is paired to a 5-speed gearbox.
New RE Himalayan 450
Royal Enfield has officially started testing the new Himalayan 450 in India as well as on foreign soil. The motorcycle looks completely different from the existing model, feturing LED headlamp, circular rear view mirrors, compact windscreen, sleek turn signals, stubby exhaust, beaky front fender and a bigger & curvier fuel tank. The motorcycle will be powered by a new liquid-cooled engine with a four-valve setup. Paired to a 6-speed gearbox, the powertrain is likely to produce around 35bhp & torque around 40Nm. The motorcycle will feature Showa USD front forks & rear monoshock. For braking, the motorcycle will have front and rear disc brakes along with the dual-channel switchable ABS (anti-lock braking system).
Royal Enfield 450 Scrambler
RE is currently selling the Scram 411 motorcycle, which is based on the existing Himalayan. This model is more road-biased, featuring a lower seat height & smaller, cast alloys. The new 450cc Scrambler will feature a telescopic front fork and rear monoshock. It will have a single-piece seat. The motorcycle will have disc brakes and dual-channel ABS. It will share the platform and engine with the new Himalayan 450.
RE Shotgun 650
The company is preparing a new 650cc motorcycle, which shares design cues from the SG650 cruiser concept unveiled at the 2021 EICMA. It is designed and developed on RE’s 650cc platform that underpins the new Super Meteor 650. It is expected to be powered by the same 648cc, parallel-twin, air-and-oil cooled engine that produces 47bhp and 52Nm of torque. The motorcycle will have USD front forks and dual disc brakes with dual channel ABS system.
RE 650cc Scrambler
Royal Enfield has started testing a new 650cc scrambler motorcycle, which has already been spotted testing in India. The spotted motorcycle had two-into-one exhaust with a stubby muffler design. The motorcycle runs on off-road sized wire-spoke rims and has a USD fork and twin hydraulic shocks. The new Scrambler will be powered by a 650cc twin-cylinder engine that produces 47bhp and 52Nm of torque. Royal Enfield is expected to tune this engine to suit the needs of a cruiser motorcycle.
