Royal Enfield is one of the oldest motorcycle brands in the world that is still in production. This Indian two-wheeler brand has evolved over the decades and is now producing several world-class products for customers in India and around the world. Every year, they update their existing models and also come up with new ones. They also offer several affordable twin-cylinder motorcycles in the market. Here, we have a list of six new Royal Enfield twin-cylinder bikes that are likely to get launched this year.
Bullet 650
Royal Enfield and the name Bullet are actually synonymous with each other. The Bullet has been the bread and butter for Royal Enfield for years before the Classic came in. Now, with changing times, Royal Enfield has decided to take things to the next level. We already have a Classic 650 in the market, and the Bullet 650 is the more retro-looking version of the Classic variant.
Just like in the 350s, the Bullet 650 will sit below the Classic, and the bike will be offered in traditional styling like the regular Bullet. It is based on the same platform as other twin-cylinder bikes from Royal Enfield. It will use a 648cc parallel-twin engine that generates 47 bhp and 52 Nm of peak torque. The launch is expected to happen this year.
Interceptor 650 Facelift
One of the first twin-cylinder motorcycles from the Indian brand has been doing well since its launch in 2023. While Royal Enfield has launched new colour schemes for the bike, it has never received a proper facelift. It looks like 2026 is going to be the year when it finally gets one.
The Royal Enfield Interceptor might get a better braking system, new colours, and slightly revised lights and turn indicators. Mechanically, the motorcycle is expected to remain the same as the existing one, with the same 650cc twin-cylinder engine.
Continental GT 650 Facelift
Like the Interceptor 650, the Continental GT 650 has also not received any major updates since its launch. As per reports surfacing online, the GT 650 will soon get a facelift, and the updated version is likely to be sold alongside the upcoming GT 750 variants.
Like any facelift, the GT 650 facelift is expected to get cosmetic changes along with a better and new suspension and braking setup (dual front discs) for a premium feel. The GT 650 is also expected to come with new colour themes for a fresh look. The GT 650 facelift is expected to launch later this year.
Himalayan 750
The Himalayan is an extremely popular motorcycle in its segment. It wouldn’t be wrong to call the 450 Himalayan one of the affordable adventure tourers currently on sale in India. Royal Enfield is also working on a bigger version of the Himalayan, which is the Himalayan 750. The Himalayan 750 motorcycle is going to be based on a new platform. It will also be the brand’s first 750cc motorcycle. The bike has been spotted testing on several occasions, and it is likely to be unveiled globally soon.
It will use a heavily modified version of the 650cc engine, which is expected to generate around 55 bhp and 65 Nm of peak torque. The design of the bike is derived from the new-generation Himalayan. It looks taller and more off-road-ready than its smaller sibling.
Continental GT 750
Royal Enfield is also working on a 750cc version of the Continental GT. It looks like they will be selling the GT 750 alongside the regular 650. The motorcycle will use the updated 750cc platform and is likely to be offered in both faired and naked versions. One of these versions will be called the GTR-750, and the other will be the regular GT version. It will be offered with features like twin-disc brakes and a circular instrument cluster, while continuing to carry the neo-retro look. The bike will use a heavily revised version of the 650cc engine, similar to the Himalayan 750, and is expected to generate the same power and torque. The bike is expected to be launched later this year.
Interceptor 750
The Interceptor 750 has also been spotted testing, and it will come with similar updates as the Continental 750. It will get dual discs at the front and many more features, while retaining a design similar to the current version of the Interceptor 650. It is not clear whether Royal Enfield will sell the Interceptor 650 along with the 750 variant when it gets launched. The launch is expected to happen sometime in 2026.
