In the recent past, demand for Cruiser, Classic and Adventure motorcycles have significantly increased in our market. Royal Enfield is currently ruling this segment; however, JAWA and Honda Two-Wheeler India have also introduced their Classics in the market. After introducing Jawa, Classic Legends will re-introduce the iconic Yezdi motorcycle brand in India.
In this article, we bring you a list of upcoming new Royal Enfield, Jawa and Yezdi motorcycles in the Indian market in the next 1-2 years.
Upcoming Royal Enfield Bikes
After introducing the new Meteor and the Classic 350, Royal Enfield is now preparing a wide range of new motorcycles for the Indian market. The company plans a new entry-level 350cc Classic motorcycle, which is rumoured to be called the Hunter 350. The new motorcycle will be lighter than the other 350cc siblings, and will be positioned against the Honda CB350RS. It will be based on the ‘J’ platform that underpins the Meteor 350 and the Classic 350. It is likely to be powered by the same 349cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that produces 20.2bhp and 27Nm of torque, and paired to a 6-speed gearbox.

Royal Enfield is also working on a new scrambler version of the Himalayan, which is likely to be called the RE Scram 411. It will be more affordable than the adventure sibling and is likely to be launched in early 2022. The company will make some changes to the Himalayan to give it a more road-oriented Scrambler feel. It is likely to retain the same 411cc, single-cylinder engine that powers the Himalayan. This engine produces 24.3bhp and 32Nm of torque, and is paired to a 5-speed gearbox.
Royal Enfield is also preparing two new 650cc motorcycles – the Super Meteor and the Shotgun 650. The Super Meteor 650 will sit above the Interceptor 650 and the Continental GT 650. It shares styling cues from the KX Concept. Design highlights will include a circular headlamp, a large visor for wind protection, 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels, forward set foot pegs, a fatter rear fender, round tail-lights and turn indicators, and twin-pipe exhaust system.
The RE Shotgun 650 will be the production-ready version of the RE SG650 concept, which was unveiled at the 2021 EICMA motor show in Italy. The motorcycle will retain most of the design highlights from the concept. It will have round headlamp with integrated position lamps, a single-seat unit, USD front forks, teardrop-like fuel tank, and others. Both bikes will be powered by a 648cc parallel-twin engine that powers the Interceptor and the Continental GT. This engine produces 47bhp and 52Nm of torque. The bikes will get a 6-speed gearbox with a slipper and assist clutch. ‘
Upcoming Yezdi & Jawa Bikes
Classic Legends, backed by Mahindra, is all set to re-introduce the iconic Yezdi brand with two new motorcycles. The company is testing an adventure motorcycle and an all-new Scrambler. The Scrambler is reportedly to be called the Yezdi Roadking. The Adventure bike design inspiration comes from its biggest rival – the RE Himalayan. It gets a traditional round headlamp, a tall windscreen, a bulbous fuel tank, round-shaped rear-view mirrors, and split seat setup. It is expected to be powered by a 334cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that powers the Jawa Perak. This engine churns out 30.64PS of power and 32.74Nm of torque. This engine is paired to a 6-speed gearbox.

The motorcycle will offer wider and comfortable seat. The new Jawa Cruiser is expected to be based on the Perak’s platform, which could be modified to accommodate a cruiser-type bike.
