- Royal Enfield’s First EV – Flying Flea C6: Royal Enfield’s new Flying Flea C6 electric bobber (first EV under Flying Flea sub-brand) is expected around April 2026. Spotted testing without camouflage, the C6 features a classic WW2-inspired bobber look, LED lights and modern electronics. It will be Royal Enfield’s first bike with advanced features like traction control, cornering ABS and five ride modes, signalling a big step for electric cruisers in India.
- Honda Rebel 300 (India Launch): Honda is gearing up to localize the Rebel 300 (a 286cc bobber) for India in 2026. Essentially a low-slung version of the CB300R with a 690mm seat height, the Rebel 300 promises a lightweight, easy-riding cruiser feel. Bangalore riders can look forward to test-rides once it hits our shores.
- Big Bikes Get More Tech: Expect “E-clutch” versions (automatic clutch) of Honda’s big bikes like the NX500, CB750 Hornet and XL750 Transalp. Kawasaki is also preparing to launch new adventure bikes (e.g. KLE500) this year. These upgrades make riding easier for city traffic and touring alike.
- Electric Scooter News: In electric mobility, keep an eye on the Ola S1 Air expanding its service network, and new players like Odysse EV scooters rolling out. Many manufacturers are increasing charging infrastructure in major cities.
- Safety & Tech Trends: Advanced rider aids (like Bluetooth connectivity, ABS) are becoming standard on more models. For example, the Flying Flea’s TFT display supports navigation and smartphone connectivity. Safety gear technology is also evolving with items like helmet MIPS
