Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 Spotted Testing In Ladakh's Rugged Terrain
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.

Modified Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Is A Grunge 90's Inspired Supermoto
Royal Enfield designed the Guerrilla 450 as a roadster, mostly for urban use. But it seems like the enthusiasts out there want more from the motorcycle and are expanding its territories with modifications. One of these examples is the SM450 Urban Guerrilla, which has been developed by the joint efforts of Ryan Roadkill and custom house Sticky's Speed Shop. Their work is being showcased at multiple events. The bike, based on the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450, instantly grabs attention with a striking combination of white, pink, and purple. These colours are even seen on the seat, handlebars, shock absorbers, and alloy wheels. There is also some use of yellow, highlighting the "450" on the side of the bike. With this, the modifications have completely changed the appearance of the bike to make it look like a supermoto with a high-beak square, headlight, and more.

There is also a pink Royal Enfield logo, which stands out because of the black engine case. Along with the looks, the 452 cc single-cylinder engine has also received mechanical changes to extract more performance. It now gets a new intake and throttle body paired with a high-exit full exhaust system. The 90's reference mentioned earlier. Image Source- Motorcyclenews In this unit, the standard rear suspension mounting points have been removed. Furthermore, the tailpiece has been replaced, which provides space for the single-piece seat, which looks like a reshaped unit from the 1987 Yamaha YZ125. The list of new parts goes on with the presence of a billet swingarm. The shock has now been replaced by Ohlins and fits into position due to a redesigned lower linkage and adjustable dog bones. Up front, there are conventionally mounted WP forks, covered by the earlier mentioned pink gaiters, which lead down to an Excel supermoto rim with a Talon hub in purple, complemented by a single Hel disc brake configuration.

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.

Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 and Himalayan Electric teased for the first time
Royal Enfield has been testing the Himalayan Electric and the Himalayan 750 in Ladakh. Notify me Royal Enfield has officially teased the larger Himalayan and Himalayan Electric for the first time. While we have seen the Himalayan Electric previously at the 2023 EICMA as well as the 2024 EICMA, this is the first time that the larger Himalayan makes its debut. Royal Enfield took both motorcycles to Khardungla Pass in Ladakh, which has an altitude of 18,380 feet. Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 The test mules of the new Himalayan have been spotted quite a few times on global as well as Indian roads. The prototype of the Himalayan looks close to production. The body panels were still covered with a black sheet so the overall design of the motorcycle is not visible. The Himalayan 750 gets a new upswept exhaust and a split seat setup. Up-front, there is a normal mudguard, the same LED headlamp that we have seen on other Royal Enfield bikes and there is also a windshield to protect the rider from the windblast. It will continue to come with a guard around the fuel tank, which can also be used to mount things. There are upside-down forks in the front and a monoshock at the rear. As of now, it is not known whether there will be adjustability on offer or not. There are split seats, and the rear tail lamp is taken from the Himalayan 450. It uses spoked wheels, but they are not tubeless units, unlike the Himalayan. However, there is a possibility that at the time of launch, there will be tubeless spoke rims on offer. We expect that there would be alloy wheels on offer as well. Speaking of rims, there is a 19-inch unit in the front, which means that it is not an all-out off-roader. Instead, it is meant for touring. The larger Himalayan could use a larger 750 cc engine that is based on the current 650 cc unit. It is expected that Royal Enfield will bump up to the cubic capacity from 650 cc to 750 cc. So, the power output is expected to be around 55 bhp. The side casing is different and so is the radiator. The manufacturer has made an all-new exhaust system that is side-mounted and upswept. This is not the unit that the brand uses on the Interceptor Bear 650. Also Read : Royal Enfield's first electric motorcycle 'Flying Flea C6' launch timeline unveiled Royal Enfield Himalayan Electric Royal Enfield Himalayan Electric is inching towards production. It might be showcased at EICMA later this year. This is not the first time we have seen the all-electric version of the Himalayan. The brand has showcased it to the world twice before this. The Royal Enfield Himalayan Electric Testbed showcased a body crafted from eco-friendly flax fiber composites, a custom-developed battery pack, gold-colored upside-down front forks, and SM Pro Platinum spoked wheels fitted with Continental block-pattern tyres. While the concept primarily emphasized design innovation and sustainable materials, the recently sighted prototypes suggest the bike is edging closer to production. Unlike the brand's conventional cradle-type chassis, these Ladakh-based test models sport an aluminium frame setup, including the main frame, subframe, and swingarm—similar to the concept bike but appearing more refined for mass production. Significant alterations seem to have been made to the frame, and the battery unit has evolved from what was seen in the original concept. Its enclosure may be crafted from magnesium, similar to what was used in the lightweight Royal Enfield Flying Flea. The Himalayan Electric could share its components with the Flying Flea. One notable change is the removal of the iconic beak-like front mudguard seen on earlier Himalayan models, now replaced by a tall windscreen. The motorcycle features a single-piece seat that flows seamlessly into a mock fuel tank, which likely conceals secondary electrical or mechanical components. The lighting system is now fully LED, featuring a projector-style headlight, integrated turn indicators, and a rear light cluster that resembles the one found on the Himalayan 450. The brace structures near the tank area now appear to be more polished and robust, while the one-piece seat design stretches from the tank region to the tail end. Additionally, the support framework for the rider footpegs has been redesigned. Even the navigation tower housing the instrument display has been updated in this second-generation prototype. For stopping power, the setup includes twin petal disc brakes at the front and a single disc at the rear. Check out Upcoming Bikes In India. First Published Date: 12 Jun 2025, 10:33 AM IST
