Milan, November 5, 2024: As the curtains went up at the
prestigious 2024 EICMA Motor Show in Milan, Italy, Royal Enfield, global leader
in the mid-size motorcycle segment (250 – 750cc) was getting ready to present
to the world a host of new motorcycles. Rooted in its philosophy of Pure
Motorcycling, Royal Enfield fast forwarded to the future to present what will
be a new chapter in the brand’s history with its electric motorcycle brand,
Flying Flea, and the C6 and S6 electric motorcycle models, while also rewinding
to bring some of its best ‘hits’ from the past with two striking new models on
its 650 Twin platform – the Bear 650, and the Classic 650.
Commenting on the EICMA showcase, Siddhartha Lal, Managing Director, Eicher Motors Ltd. said, “We’ve been driven by our mission of Pure
Motorcycling, and this mission has driven us to explore, innovate and create
newer expressions of motorcycling while turning a new leaf with every changing
generation. Motivated by this mission, Royal Enfield has a strong line-up of
motorcycles across 4 platforms, and 14 models. Today we use this motivation to
once again turn a new leaf, and create something for the future, but inspired
and designed by our past. The Flying Flea is our vision for Lifestyle Smart
Mobility for the future, that is in line with our heritage, but built for the
future seamlessly blending distinctive
style with lightweight agility and advanced technology.”
Adding to that, B.
Govindarajan, CEO, Royal Enfield, said “EICMA
2024 marks a pivotal moment in Royal Enfield’s storied past, ushering in a new
chapter in our history. Our diverse lineup features our first electric
motorcycles, and also adds more elegance and style to our 650 Twin models
category with the Bear 650 and the Classic 650. While the Bear 650 combines
authentic heritage scrambler styling, raw spirit with versatility and agility,
the Classic 650 Twin brings together the iconic design elements that Royal
Enfield is renowned for, while infusing it with modernity and engineering
precision.
FLYING FLEA BY ROYAL ENFIELD
The Flying Flea, introduced in
1943, was a lightweight tactical motorcycle that transformed battlefield
mobility, showcasing the brand’s innovative spirit. Inspired by that spirit,
and reimagining it for today and forever forward, Royal Enfield introduced the Flying Flea, its new electric
motorcycle brand.
The
journey towards Royal Enfield’s electric revolution began with the Electric
Himalayan Test Bed – showcased at EICMA 2023 – designed for the toughest
terrains. This laid the groundwork for a new breed of motorcycles that blend
modern technology with the brand’s essence. Today, Royal Enfield continues this
legacy with its electric vehicle brand, Flying Flea, and introduces two
electric motorcycles, the Classic-styled
Flying Flea C6 and Scrambler-styled Flying Flea S6, combining rich heritage with modern tech
for effortless urban mobility. Equipped with seamless connected technology,
these electric motorcycles embody the distinctive style of Royal Enfield.
CLASSIC 650 TWIN – Royal
Enfield DNA served in a ‘double measure’
The new Classic 650 showcases the distinctive spirit of the Classic family,
but serves it up in a double measure.
Its stately, streamlined form is propelled by Royal Enfield’s acclaimed 650
Twin engine, resulting in a ride that is both swift and graceful. While staying
true to traits of the Classic family, the Classic 650 offers riders a powerful
new blend of old-school aesthetics and effortless power delivery. Imposing to
look at, but friendly to ride, this is unmistakably a Classic that stays pure
to the core.
BEAR 650 – In Gut we trust.
The new Royal Enfield Bear 650, a stylish and versatile scrambler. Designed for riders who trust their
instinct and stand out from the rest, the Bear
650 is more than just a motorcycle – it is a journey, a statement, and a
reminder to follow your gut. With its versatile capabilities, robust
engineering, and distinct scrambler aesthetic, the Bear 650 is poised to redefine the riding experience for ‘scrambler-ers’ across the globe,
inviting them to forge their own path, one ride at a time.
‘ALWAYS SOMETHING’ – Royal
Enfield Shotgun 650 x ICON Motosport Drop
A rebellious spirit of custom culture gave birth to the ‘Inspired
by custom and built for custom’ Shotgun 650. Taking the story forward, Royal
Enfield commissioned a custom build on the Shotgun in collaboration with ICON
One Thousand of Icon Motosport. And thus was born the ‘Always Something’, a
bright, loud and low motorcycle that exudes power and speed. Inspired by this
custom build, ICON and Royal Enfield have collaborated to build an exclusive,
limited edition production drop model, that refines these elements to best fit
the lines of the stock Shotgun 650.
Limited to only 100 units globally, it will come loaded with a 3-tone
colorway, race-inspired graphics and special parts to match custom build,
including gold rims, blue shock springs, and a red seat; the special edition
drop model is truly a collector’s edition. Each motorcycle will come paired
with an exclusive Slabtown Intercept RE jacket, made of mixed suede and
textile, adding to the collector’s appeal. Stay tuned for more updates on how
you can be one of the owners for the limited edition unique motorcycle.
PROMETEO – Royal Enfield
Guerrilla 450 x El Solitario
Royal Enfield presentes El Solitario Prometeo with Studio
Waldemeyer at EICMA 2024, making a bold statement on the future of
motorcycling. Inspired by the myth of Prometheus, Prometeo is a concept that
symbolizes defiance in a world where freedom and personal autonomy is being sacrificed
to algorithmic control, technological dominance, autonomous vehicles and
virtual experiences. Motorcycle enthusiasts, freedom lovers, and those who
still cherish the beautiful chaos of individuality will truly enjoy the Royal
Enfield Prometeo. The custom artwork is a powerful commentary presenting a
future of motorcycling in a world of increasing conformity and oppression of
the motorcycling way of life.
