The coming year is set to be a milestone for the legendary motorcycle brand, with several highly anticipated launches that blend heritage with innovation. From retro-styled classics to futuristic cruisers and electric scramblers, Royal Enfield is clearly redefining what it means to ride with pride.

1. Royal Enfield Classic 350 (2025): The Modern Legend

The Royal Enfield Classic 350 has always been more than just a motorcycle — it’s an emotion that connects generations of riders. In 2025, this evergreen model gets an impressive technological upgrade while keeping its nostalgic soul intact.

At its heart is the brand’s refined 349cc J-series engine, known for smooth performance and improved mileage. The engine promises refined throttle response and better overall efficiency, making it ideal for both city commutes and long weekend rides.

The Classic 350 also comes with dual-channel ABS, ensuring safer braking, and a digital-analog instrument cluster that fuses retro aesthetics with modern functionality. The comfortable saddle and ergonomic riding posture make long rides effortless, while the premium chrome accents add a touch of sophistication.

Overall, the 2025 Classic 350 continues to be a perfect balance of heritage styling and contemporary engineering, proving why it remains one of Royal Enfield’s best-selling motorcycles globally.

2. Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 (2025): Adventure Reimagined

Adventure touring takes a bold step forward with the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450. The updated model gets an all-new 452cc liquid-cooled engine, a 6-speed gearbox, and ride-by-wire technology, turning it into one of the most capable adventure bikes in its class.

For 2025, Royal Enfield has gone the extra mile to make the Himalayan more versatile. It now offers adjustable suspension, advanced off-road modes, and a crisp TFT digital display that offers turn-by-turn navigation and vital ride stats. These features make it a perfect companion for both rugged mountain trails and long highway stretches.

The design stays true to its rugged character, yet feels more premium and refined. With its commanding stance, better ground clearance, and enhanced comfort, the Himalayan 450 (2025) solidifies Royal Enfield’s dominance in the adventure touring segment.

3. Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 (2025): Power, Style, and the Future of Cruising

Royal Enfield has officially launched the Shotgun 650 (2025) in India, extending its renowned 650cc lineup. This motorcycle blends classic craftsmanship with a futuristic bobber-inspired design, appealing to riders who crave raw power, cutting-edge tech, and head-turning looks.

• Engine and Performance

The Shotgun 650 is powered by the brand’s proven 648cc parallel-twin, air/oil-cooled engine, generating around 46.4 PS of power and 52.3 Nm of torque. The setup ensures robust mid-range performance and effortless highway cruising. The 6-speed gearbox delivers smooth shifts, while a refined exhaust note adds that signature Royal Enfield rumble.

• Design and Styling

The Shotgun 650’s design marks a bold new era for Royal Enfield. Its muscular fuel tank, floating single seat, minimalist bodywork, and short fenders reflect a perfect blend of retro and modern appeal. The low 795 mm seat height offers accessibility for most riders, and the LED headlamp, sleek tail section, and customization options enhance its personality. Riders can choose from multiple seat and handlebar configurations, tailoring the bike for solo cruising, city rides, or touring.

• Build and Features

Underneath its bold exterior, the bike features 43 mm Showa upside-down front forks and twin rear shock absorbers with preload adjustability for superior comfort. 320 mm front and 300 mm rear disc brakes with dual-channel ABS ensure confident braking performance.

The Shotgun 650 also gets Royal Enfield’s Tripper Navigation, semi-digital console, USB charging port, and LED lighting all around. The inclusion of RE’s Wingman connectivity system allows real-time tracking, trip data, and maintenance alerts via smartphone — making it one of the most tech-savvy Royal Enfields to date.

• Limited Edition Motoverse Variant

For collectors, Royal Enfield has introduced the Shotgun 650 Motoverse Edition, limited to just 100 units worldwide (25 in India). Priced at ₹4.25 lakh (ex-showroom), it sports a striking three-tone color scheme, gold-finished alloy wheels, and comes bundled with an exclusive ICON Motosports riding jacket — an absolute treat for RE enthusiasts.

• Ride Experience and Practicality

Test riders describe the Shotgun 650 as balanced, responsive, and confidence-inspiring. Its low center of gravity, mid-set footpegs, and well-cushioned seat ensure comfort across terrains. With an estimated fuel efficiency of 22–25 km/l and a 13.8-litre tank, it offers practical touring range without compromising performance.

The Shotgun 650 faces rivals like the Kawasaki Vulcan S, Benelli 502C, and Keeway V302C, but it undercuts them on price while delivering equal — if not superior — performance and design.

In short, the Shotgun 650 is a stylish, muscular cruiser that blends heritage charm with futuristic engineering, redefining Royal Enfield’s mid-capacity segment.

4. Royal Enfield Bullet 350 (2025): Nostalgia Meets Modernity

The 2025 Bullet 350 continues the legacy of India’s most iconic motorcycle while embracing subtle modernization. The new model retains its classic silhouette, chrome details, and unmistakable thump, but introduces a new chassis and an upgraded J-series engine for improved refinement and reliability.

The bike now offers better suspension damping, enhanced braking, and improved comfort — making it suitable for both traditional riders and younger enthusiasts. The Bullet 350 (2025) is not just a motorcycle; it’s a living piece of history that has gracefully evolved with time, promising the same charm with a smoother, more modern ride.

5. Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 (2025): The All-Rounder Classic

The Interceptor 650 continues to be a global favorite for riders who appreciate retro styling with twin-cylinder performance. The 2025 update enhances its comfort and appeal with new color options, better seat cushioning, and modern digital touches while retaining the tried-and-tested 648cc engine.

Whether for highway cruising or urban runs, the Interceptor 650’s smooth engine, stable chassis, and minimalist design make it one of the most complete motorcycles in Royal Enfield’s portfolio. It perfectly bridges the gap between nostalgic charm and practical everyday performance.

Upcoming Big Launch: Royal Enfield Himalayan 750

One of the most exciting motorcycles expected in 2025 is the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750, rumored to be the company’s most powerful adventure tourer yet. Reports suggest it could make its debut by December 2025, possibly at EICMA 2025, before reaching Indian showrooms.

Powered by a 750cc parallel-twin engine, the Himalayan 750 is expected to produce around 55 bhp and 65 Nm of torque — offering significant performance gains over the 450. It will feature a 6-speed gearbox, improved fuel efficiency, and long-distance touring comfort.

The design will be more muscular and premium, featuring a tall windscreen, split seats, LED lights, and wide handlebars. Royal Enfield may offer two variants — one with a 19-inch front wheel for road use and another with a 21-inch wheel for off-road enthusiasts.

Expected features include:

• Full-color digital display with Bluetooth connectivity

• Ride modes for different terrains

• Dual-channel ABS (switchable rear)

• Traction control

• Ride-by-wire throttle

Priced around ₹4.0–₹4.1 lakh (on-road), the Himalayan 750 will compete with the Triumph Tiger 660, Kawasaki Versys 650, and BMW F700GS, offering comparable performance at a more accessible price.

Royal Enfield Flying Flea S6 Scrambler: A Glimpse into RE’s Electric Future

At the 2025 EICMA, Royal Enfield is likely to unveil the Flying Flea S6 Scrambler, a bold step into the electric mobility space. Built on RE’s all-new EV platform, the S6 will feature signature scrambler styling, off-road-friendly tyres, USD forks, and a side-mounted number board.

Although performance details remain under wraps, the motorcycle will emphasize urban practicality rather than long-range endurance. Expect its official India launch in late 2026, with more details on battery range and charging revealed closer to production.

In addition to the 750, Royal Enfield recently teased a new Himalayan variant, believed to be the Himalayan 450 Rally (or Raid) Edition. Expected to debut at EICMA 2025, this special version will feature longer suspension travel, adjustable USD forks, and off-road tyres for enhanced trail performance.

Powered by the same 452cc liquid-cooled engine (producing 40 hp and 40 Nm), the Rally Edition will also get aesthetic updates like new color schemes, a shorter tail section, and a reworked exhaust. It’s designed for hardcore off-roaders who demand more agility and durability from their adventure machines.
