Royal Enfield: EICMA 2024 Wrapup
Announcements about two new 650cc bikes and the manufacturer’s first electric bike were the highlights
Royal Enfield made a big bang at EICMA 2024 with a few big announcements about its future offerings and two of its upcoming motorcycles. Here’s what we saw from the Chennai-based manufacturer at the motor show:
Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6
Royal Enfield unveiled its first ever electric bike, called the Flying Flea C6. The retro, electric roadster looks very unique and gets a round LED headlight, teardrop-shaped slim “tank and cooling fans for the battery pack placed below the ‘fuel tank’ shaped area. The most unique thing about the bike is obviously the girder fork, which is a big nod to the bikes of the yesteryears.
Royal Enfield Bear 650
After countless spy shots of the 650cc scrambler, Royal Enfield launched the Bear 650 with prices starting from Rs 3.39 Lakh (ex-showroom). It is based on the Interceptor 650 and changes like the round racing number plate in the middle section and the completely redesigned tail section distinguishes the scrambler from the roadster pretty well.
Royal Enfield Classic 650
We have been waiting for a bigger capacity Classic for sometime now and at EICMA 2024, Royal Enfield took the wraps off the Classic 650. It is based on the same platform as the Super Meteor 650 and the Shotgun 650 and is powered by the same 647.95cc, parallel-twin engine. On the exterior, it looks like a bigger version of the Classic 350 with the same retro aesthetics and bold road presence.

- Beast named bearIm a tall person and i needed a tall bike and the looks of this golden shadow is just beautiful. I would have chosen interceptor 650 but this just was it when i first sat on it in the showroom. Cant get over of it. Posture has to be perfectly aligned will hurt if you don't sit right and the pull is amazing, even on the 5th gear you can feel the bike wanting to run ahead loved the overall experience, needs a seat change and tires can be better, my personal opinion If you are tall and need a 650cc from royal enfield id definitely suggest this bike way too good but, there is always a but be careful with the suspension, heavier the person better the suspension, the pull is great (torque) better than a gt most people would disagree but whatever.Read More
- The royal Enfield classic 650The royal Enfield classic 650 is one of those bikes that makes you stop and stare before you even turn the key. The moment you fire it up, the parallel-twin engine greets you with a smooth but deep exhaust note. Out on the roads, the bikes pulls strongly in mid-range. Cruising at 90-100 km/h feels effortless, and you can tell this machine is built to stretch its legs on highway. The 6- speed gear box shifts clean, and the assist clutch makes life a bit easier in traffic, though the lever itself is still on the heavier sideRead More
