At the EICMA show in Milan, Royal Enfield took the cover off five models, two new bikes and three special edition variants of existing bikes. The new bikes include the retro Bullet 650 and electric Flying Flea S6. This post focuses on the three special editions.
2026 Royal Enfield Classic 650 125th Year Anniversary Special Edition
Royal Enfield produced its first motorcycle in 1901, making 2026 the brand’s 125th anniversary. Marking the occasion is a special edition of the Classic 650.
This special edition features a “hypershift” paint application of red and gold, creating a shimmery surface. It also includes an embossed “125 Years” crest on the side panel. Other than its unique color scheme, everything else returns unchanged.
Built on the Super Meteor 650 platform, the Classic 650 offers a retro-inspired design with a teardrop tank, round headlight, and curved fenders. It’s powered by a 648cc parallel-Twin that makes a claimed 46.4 hp and 38.6 lb-ft of torque, and it has a steel-tube frame, nonadjustable Showa suspension, and spoked wheels.
Pricing and availability have not yet been announced.
2026 Royal Enfield Himalayan Mana Black
The new Himalayan Mana Black comes with a dedicated accessory package and livery inspired by the Mana Pass, which sits at 18,478 feet above sea level in Uttarakhand, India.
Accessories included in the Mana Black edition are Black Rally handguards, a Black Rally seat, and a Rally-style front fender. The 21-inch front and 17-inch rear spoked wheels are tubeless on the Mana Black, replacing the tube-type wheels on the standard Himalayan. It comes with a Stealth Black finish with matte detailing.
All other specifications and details carry over from the standard model, including the liquid-cooled 452cc Sherpa Single that makes a claimed 39.5 hp and 29.5 lb-ft of torque. It has a Showa inverted fork and a linkage-type rear shock with adjustable preload, both offering 7.9 inches of travel. Brakes include a 2-piston front caliper pinching a 320mm disc and a 1-piston rear caliper on a 270mm disc. ABS is standard and can be disabled at the rear wheel. The bike also includes a TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity, all-LED lighting, and a USB-C charging port.
Royal Enfield has not released details on U.S. pricing or availability. For now, the Himalayan Mana Black will be available in Italy for €6,600 and in the U.K. for £6,400.
2026 Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 x Rough Crafts Drop
Based in Taiwan, the Rough Crafts custom shop built a unique Shotgun 650 called the Caliber Royale. Royal Enfield’s new Shotgun 650 x Rough Crafts Drop takes cues from the custom build and is limited to 100 individually numbered units across Indian, Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific.
This special edition bike is mostly a stock Shotgun 650 with special details. It features a real gold leaf stripe shadowed in gray, and the paintwork is a mix of glossy and matte black. It includes a solid brass tank badge, a quilted leather seat, gold fork tubes, and bar-end mirrors. Each unit will come with a hand-signed limited-edition art print by Rough Crafts.
The Shotgun 650, introduced for 2024, features a modular design that Royal Enfield claims is ready for customization. It’s built on the 648cc parallel-Twin platform. It has a nonadjustable Showa Separate Function-Big Piston fork with 4.7 inches of travel and Showa twin shocks with 3.5 inches of travel and preload adjustability, and brakes include a 2-piston front caliper pinching a 320mm disc.
More information about the ownership process for the special-edition bike will be announced at a later date.
