It will be the first 250-cc motorcycle from the Chennai-based two-wheeler manufacturer in the modern era
The Royal Enfield 250 has been given the go-ahead internally. Note that the discussions regarding a small Royal Enfield motorcycle have been going on for many years now. While it made little sense back then, since the prices of the existing entry-level models have been so high in recent times due to inflation, it is prudent to make the brand more accessible to a wider range of new customers by introducing a relatively low-priced product. That is where the 250-cc proposition comes in.
Royal Enfield 250 in the Works?
The latest details of this case stem from Bullet Guru on YouTube. The host showcases the visuals of a Royal Enfield motorcycle being tested on public roads. As per the information in the video, the new bike will be underpinned by a new V Platform. That will bear the smaller engine and the rest of the components. The specifics regarding the engine specifications are not out yet. Also, it remains to be seen what kind of appearance the motorbike will carry. Still, we can expect the neo-retro theme to continue as on the other RE products as well.
Furthermore, some news reports suggest that we might see some sort of electrification because of the small engine capacity. In fact, to keep the costs in check, the Royal Enfield 250 will most likely have an air-cooled engine. Remember, the aim with this bike is to cater to a large customer base and to get more customers into the brand. In terms of styling, it could have a Roadster-like appearance for modern and young buyers. In any case, we shall have to wait a bit to know more details as the company plans to launch it by 2026-27.

Let us keep an eye out for more details as they surface.
