EICMA 2026 featured a diverse collection of motorcycles and scooters, ranging from new adventure tourers and performance roadsters to electric models and unconventional scooters, many of which are slated for the Indian market over the coming years. Major brands including Royal Enfield, BMW Motorrad, Hero MotoCorp, and Harley-Davidson highlighted upcoming products, while Italian manufacturer Italjet prepared to introduce its performance scooters to India.
Royal Enfield expanded its adventure lineup with the flagship Himalayan 750, powered by a 743cc parallel-twin engine generating 55bhp and 63Nm of torque. Designed for long-distance touring, the Himalayan 750 features a six-speed gearbox and delivers 90 percent of its peak torque at lower revs. It is scheduled to make its debut at Motoverse.
Sharing the same fundamental platform and engine, the Royal Enfield Continental GT 750 cafe racer adopts a distinct personality with twin exhaust pipes and a cable-operated throttle instead of the Himalayan's electronic system. It is anticipated to arrive in the Indian market following its sibling.
In the electric segment, Royal Enfield introduced the Flying Flea S6, a scrambler-style EV featuring a slim profile, long-travel USD front forks, a rear monoshock, and wire-spoke aluminium wheels. It utilizes a conventional chain drive and is expected to launch alongside other models.
BMW Motorrad showcased the F 450 R roadster and the fully faired F 450 RR, both driven by a 420cc parallel-twin engine producing 48bhp and 43Nm of torque. Equipped with modern technology like a 6.5-inch TFT display, ABS Pro, and traction control, these middleweight machines are anticipated to reach the Indian market.
Hero MotoCorp entered the larger-displacement adventure category with the Xpulse 450, featuring a 421cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine outputting 46.7bhp and 38Nm of torque. Alongside adjustable suspension and smartphone connectivity, Hero's electric division VIDA also presented the UBX electric motorcycle concept, signaling the brand's growing ambitions in the EV sector.
