Royal Enfield is planning to introduce a new 250cc motorcycle in India. The company aims to target riders who want the classic Royal Enfield feel but with a lighter and more fuel-efficient engine. This upcoming 250cc bike will carry the same heritage design and modern technology blend that the brand is known for.
Design and Looks:
The new Royal Enfield 250cc will feature a classic retro design similar to the Bullet and Classic models. It will include a round LED headlamp, teardrop-shaped fuel tank, chrome finish on the exhaust, and attractive color schemes. The bike will maintain the signature Royal Enfield look while offering modern updates like LED indicators and a semi-digital meter console.
Engine and Performance:
The motorcycle is expected to be powered by a 249cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. It may produce around 20 to 25 PS of power and 20 to 22 Nm of torque. The engine will be paired with a 5-speed gearbox. This setup will offer smooth performance both in city and highway rides. The bike could deliver a mileage of around 35 to 45 km/l, making it a fuel-efficient cruiser.
Features:
The Royal Enfield 250cc will come with modern features like LED lighting, dual-channel ABS, USB charging port, and possibly Tripper navigation. It will also have a comfortable single seat setup, wider handlebars, and tubeless tires for better grip and handling.
Price and Launch:
The expected price of the Royal Enfield 250cc in India will be around ₹1.50 lakh to ₹1.90 lakh (ex-showroom). The launch could happen in mid or late 2025, although the company has not officially confirmed the date yet.
Mileage:
The bike is expected to offer a mileage between 35 to 45 km/l, depending on riding style and road conditions.
Conclusion:
The Royal Enfield 250cc will be a perfect option for riders who love the brand’s heritage look but prefer a lighter, affordable, and more efficient model. It will compete with bikes like the Bajaj Avenger 220, Yamaha FZ25, and Suzuki Gixxer 250 in the Indian market.
