Royal Enfield is currently in Ladakh testing its upcoming products. The brand recently shared images of prototypes for its upcoming adventure bikes, the Himalayan 750 and the Himalayan Electric (HIM-E). Additionally, the manufacturer's first electric motorcycle, the C6, part of the Flying Flea sub-brand, has been spotted testing in the challenging conditions of Ladakh. It's worth noting that this electric vehicle was previously seen undergoing tests in an urban environment. This is the first time it has been spotted testing in cold climate conditions. The Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 debuted at EICMA and has since been showcased in India on several occasions. Moreover, the motorcycle's test mule has been spotted testing at various times. This test mule provided insight into its functionality. It comes featuring circular LED lights that showcase the brand's mix of classic and contemporary designs. Staying true to its legacy, the motorcycle boasts a slim frame with an aluminum chassis and girder forks, reminiscent of classic models. Additionally, the bike features a split seat design and black alloy wheels. Also Read: The motorcycle's sleek body incorporates a magnesium casing that optimizes air flow. Although the bike's specifications are not yet revealed, it is anticipated to have a range of about 100 km, as it has been designed for urban settings. To fulfill its intended function, the manufacturer has focused on reducing the bike's weight to under 100 kg. Beyond its visual appeal, the manufacturer has significantly invested in the technology present in the bike. It is being regarded as the most feature-rich motorcycle to come from Royal Enfield's production. It is set to include a round touchscreen display that allows for various functionalities such as voice commands and connectivity. To support these advanced features, the company has integrated Qualcomm's Snapdragon processor. During the launch event, Mario Alvisi, the Chief Growth Officer for Electric Vehicles at Royal Enfield, emphasized that this motorcycle would include the latest and most advanced features.

Royal Enfield CEO Tests Upcoming Himalayan 750 And Himalayan EV; Pics
Royal Enfield has been working on expanding its motorcycle lineup with the addition of new products. It's no secret, two new models on the list are the Himalayan 750 and the Himalayan Electric (also known as the HIM-E). Until now, both of these motorcycles have only been seen in the spy shots. Now, Royal Enfield has officially teased these motorcycles while revealing the ongoing tests in the Himalayan range. It is to be noted that these units seem to be very close to their production form, and are being tested by top bosses at RE, including CEO B. Govindarajan. Based on the pictures, it seems like the Royal Enfield team is leaving no stones unturned, putting the motorcycles through the tough off-road test at the Khardung La Pass in Ladakh. While the manufacturer shared the pictures of both motorcycles on social media, they still did not reveal official names or any details of the products. Furthermore, most of the design details of both units have also been kept under the veil as the units were covered in camouflage. The bigger Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 will likely have a 750 cc engine, which is expected to put out around 50-55 hp of power, while the torque rating will also see a bump. Meanwhile, the design language will be very similar to the 450 cc version with changes in the dimensions and a few details. It is also expected to have a better suspension setup with more travel. They are also likely to offer adjustability.

Although the design will have its differences because of the change in the powertrain. Furthermore, we can expect it to be a bit more sophisticated in terms of features. All of this will likely result in a bigger number on the price tag.
