Royal Enfield looks ahead to “busiest year yet” in 2026

Royal Enfield showcased a range of new models at last month’s MCL25 show in Birmingham, but its focus has already shifted to what’s expected to be a big 2026.

November’s EICMA show in Milan was the venue Royal Enfield, and most brands for that matter, chose as the ideal location to reveal its 2026 line-up.

That included the new Bullet 650, Flying Flea C6 and S6, and the Himalayan 450 Mana Black, all of which then received their UK debut at MCL25. It also revealed a new set of colours for the Classic 650, HNTR 350 and Guerilla 450. 

Royal Enfield says MCL25 “served as the ideal starting point for celebrating the brand's 125th Anniversary, ahead of celebrations officially kicking off at Motoverse in Goa, India”.

Those same anniversary celebrations included another UK first-look, with the new Classic 650 125 Year Anniversary Edition, and Shotgun 650 x Rough Crafts Limited Edition, being unveiled.

Attendees also got the chance to view numerous heritage and custom motorcycles, including a Fuel Fury Bear 650, Sawn Off Shotgun, and Gary Birtwistle’s very own Flat Track racer. 

Birtwistle is the founder of the Dirt Craft Flat Track training school, and is in charge of Royal Enfield’s Slide School programme, which was launched in partnership with Dirt Craft.  

Now, in terms of plans for 2026, Royal Enfield has kept a lot up its sleeve thus far, although it did reveal that it’s expecting a very busy year. 

This is exactly what the brand had to say as part of a press release:

"Looking forward, 2026 is set to be Royal Enfield's busiest year yet. Celebrating 125 Years of continuous production, the calendar will be packed with a series of exciting events and announcements throughout the year, promising to further solidify Royal Enfield's position as a global leader in mid-sized motorcycling."

There were no details about potential new models in the press release, however, we do expect its first 750cc models to arrive some time next year. Two models that figure to make their debut are the new Himalayan 750 and Continental GT 750.
