Royal Enfield has a host of models in the pipeline with which it hopes to continue expanding its current offering. All of them based on existing platforms, but packed with new features and personality. After the recent launch of the new Guerrilla 450, the arrival of other models as varied as the Himalayan 650 or a Bullet equipped with the same engine is expected.
Countless images of the patent registration, as well as test mules everywhere confirm the tireless work of Royal Enfield. On the horizon there are other truly ambitious projects, such as the future electric range of the brand. This could be launched next year with a new model based on the brand’s first electric concept, the Royal Enfield Electric01.
The 5 Royal Enfields that the brand is already working on
Himalayan 650
We recently showed you the first images of a test mule of the future Himalayan 650 among Indian traffic. Based on these, we can already get an idea of what we can expect from the brand’s next adventurer. A chassis equipped with radial wheels, mixed tires, double front brake discs and a suspension system where a powerful inverted front fork stands out above any other component.
The front half-fairing also has different features to those used by the Himalayan 450, resembling some current models where greater ergonomics and protection are paramount. Mechanically, we find the ever-present 648 cc parallel twin-cylinder engine, capable of delivering a maximum power of 46 hp at 7,250 rpm.
Bear 650 Interceptor (Scrambler)
Another of the 5 Royal Enfield models expected to be released in the coming months is the upcoming Interceptor Bear 650, which we recently talked about. With it, the Royal brand is trying to consolidate its dominance in the A2 motorcycle segment, offering a combination of performance and retro style at a good price.
Featuring the same mechanicals as its “six and a half” siblings, the Interceptor Bear 650 also includes an inverted telescopic fork at the front, front and rear LED indicators, a reinforced scrambler-style handlebar and mixed CEAT tires (the global model is expected to come with Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tires). In addition, the bike will have a single-sided exhaust system, which should reduce its weight to less than 200 kg. A more than interesting figure.
Classic 350 Bobber
The third on this list is the new generation of the Classic 350, most likely with a bobber variant that will delight the most dedicated custom enthusiasts. A bike that would include a series of aesthetic and ergonomic modifications that would offer an extra touch of personality compared to the standard version. Royal would focus on various aesthetic details, but also on other aspects related to equipment and ergonomics, including the inclusion of a two-seater seat that is “exposed” to the passenger area.
Other notable details, such as the adoption of a large rear mudguard, repositioned two-piece handlebars, radial-type wheels and forward-positioned footrests, are also part of this version. The tyres with white tread are maintained, and it is expected that in its final version the part of the seat intended for the passenger will end up being removable.
On the other hand, in terms of technology and equipment, this bobber variant would have, like its range sisters, LED lighting, dual-channel Bosch ABS, USB power socket, mixed analog-LCD instrumentation with double screen and smartphone connectivity for navigation.
Classic 650
Continuing with the 650 platform, we have heard of several test mules of what could presumably be the new Classic 650, “the new entry-level twin on the Royal Enfield horizon”. It would thus become the fifth model to be added to this range.
As we have seen previously, its most important parts would be closely related to the Super Meteor 650positioning itself as a simpler variant than this one. It would be equipped with a conventional instrument panel, telescopic front fork or simpler and cheaper finishes. But always maintaining the philosophy imprinted on the Twin models of the brand, where its 648 cc twin-cylinder engine declares 47 HP of power and 52.3 Nm of maximum torque.
Bullet 650
Finally, among these 5 Royal Enfields that could be coming soon we find the Bullet 650 recently hunted together with another novelty, the Guerrilla 450. Same formula as in the 650 models already mentioned above; 648 cc parallel twin-cylinder engine, capable of offering a maximum power of 46 hp at 7,250 rpm, together with some special details in charge of marking the difference with its range sisters.
In this case, it will be equipped with a one-piece seat and will have a mudguard design with a marked retro feel. On the other hand, the headlight, fuel tank, chassis, side exhaust system or body panels would be shared between both and, in turn, with the current Super Meteor 650. Also the type of radial tire or the suspension system. Not so other equipment elements such as the instrument panel, where the Classic could be a step ahead in technological terms.
