Royal Enfield Himalayan tubeless spoke wheel prices hiked for new buyers
Royal Enfield has increased prices for the tubeless spoke wheels on the Himalayan 450 for new buyers. The tubeless cross-spoke wheels on the Royal Enfield Himalayan are now priced at ₹17,350, compared to the original launch price of ₹11,224. Notably, the bike maker recently increased the cross-spoke wheel prices for the existing Himalayan 450 owners from ₹12,424 to ₹40,645. New buyers will now pay a difference of ₹ 4,926 on the tubeless wheels, albeit the difference is not as significant as the one existing Royal Enfield Himalayan buyers will have to shell out. Royal Enfield Himalayan Tubeless Cross-Spoke Wheels Get More Expensive Royal Enfield introduced its cross-spoke tubeless wheels at a remarkably affordable price, which attracted several new and existing customers to bring them home. However, the competitive pricing seems to have only benefitted early-bird buyers. The updated price for the cross-spokes is now listed on the Royal Enfield MIY configurator and represents an additional cost over the ex-showroom price of the motorcycle.

Triumph recently introduced tubeless cross-spoke wheels with the Scrambler 400 XC. The motorcycle commands a ₹27,000 premium over the standard Scrambler 400 X, which brings a new paint scheme, better underbelly protection, and the new tubeless spoked wheels.

Royal Enfield Himalayan Electric To Be RE's Most Powerful Bike: Report
Royal Enfield is working on the development of multiple new products. Some of these are the bigger versions of the smaller bikes already on sale, while there are also new products. As part of these plans, the expansion of ICE bikes comes naturally, and along with it, the automaker is also going to make its debut in the world of EVs. While the Flying Flea C6 is gaining attention, the Himalayan Electric, or HIM-e, is another prominent product. Although the bike is still undergoing tests, we have come across a report revealing more details of the EV. Based on Zigwheels' report, the Royal Enfield Himalayan electric will come with a 14 kWh battery pack. Along with it, the brand is going to offer an onboard charger. To add perspective, the Ultraviolette F77 comes with a 10.3 kWh battery pack. The power from the battery is transferred to an electric motor sourced from Stark. It is to be noted that RE has a stake in the brand. Also Read: Triumph Scrambler 400 XC Cross Spoke Wheel Prices Out- Cheaper Than Himalayan 450's? The power-producing unit has an output of 74.5 kW, which is 100 hp of power, as per the report. If this remains the case when the motorcycle lands on the production line, it will be the most powerful motorcycle with the Royal Enfield badge. This will make the motorcycle capable of breaching the 120 kmph mark. There is no information on the range of the motorcycle. However, expectations are that the bike will offer something around 200-250 km. The power produced by the motor can be tweaked depending on the rider's need via four modes: Zen, Off-Road, Tour, and Rally. More details on the machine are yet to come. Appearance-wise, the Royal Enfield Himalayan electric will have similarities with the 450 cc ICE version of the bike. However, there will be changes because of the electric powertrain. The cycle parts will also likely be different compared to the ICE version. Furthermore, it is expected to come packed with more features.

New Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 Spied- New Launches On Anvil?
The engineers at Royal Enfield seem to be working hard with multiple new products in the pipeline. While all the buzz has been around the upcoming 750 cc models and the products of the electric sub-brand, Flying Flea, the manufacturer is silently working on updating the existing models. The latest on the radar is a new avatar of the Super Meteor 650 spotted on the streets of Spain. But are there any major changes in its iteration? Let's find out. Visually, the Royal Enfield Meteor 650 is the same as its current version. Before going ahead with the details it is to be mentioned that it is not the 750 cc version of the bike, as it has the '650' decal on the side panel. Speculations are that the brand is working on fine tuning the product. Going ahead with the theory, it seems like the brand is improving the suspension setup for a better ride. Chances are, Royal Enfield might replace the rear springs with new units. The unit spied testing also had a device mounted on the front suspension which suggests that the manufacturer might be working on certain changes. We can expect the bike to arrive with these changes by 2026. Since, there has been no official announcement from RE these are just speculations. Meanwhile, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 is undergoing tests in Ladakh under the supervision of the top bosses of the brand. It was spotted with a design similar to its smaller version and dual-front disc brakes along with a new suspension setup. Alongside, the Himalayan Electric (HIM-E), which might be the first electric off-road capable bike of the brand. Simultaneously, the Flying Flea C6 is also undergoing testing while the prototype has been showcased on different occasions.

Royal Enfield teases new Himalayan 750 and electric variant: What to expect
Royal Enfield has officially teased two new adventure motorcycles—an upsized version of the Himalayan and its electric counterpart—marking the first formal reveal of the larger-capacity Himalayan, reported HT Auto. Both motorcycles were recently taken to Khardung La in Ladakh, one of the highest motorable passes in the world at 18,380 feet, for high-altitude testing. While the electric version has made previous appearances at EICMA in 2023 and 2024, this marks the debut of the new, larger-capacity Himalayan in a semi-camouflaged prototype form. Despite the bodywork being largely concealed, key design cues and mechanical elements are visible. Reportedly, the motorcycle could retain a familiar Royal Enfield silhouette, complete with a conventional front mudguard and an LED headlamp similar to those on other recent models. A windscreen has been added, presumably for improved rider comfort on long-distance rides. Crash guards around the fuel tank—suitable for mounting luggage—remain part of the design. Mechanically, the test mule features upside-down front forks and a rear monoshock. Whether these offer adjustability is currently unknown. The bike could run on spoked wheels, with a 19-inch unit at the front, suggesting a road-biased adventure tourer rather than a hardcore off-roader. Tubeless spoke rims were not seen on the prototype, though such options may be included at launch. Alloy wheels may also be offered as part of the line-up. Royal Enfield appears to have increased the engine displacement from 650 cc to an estimated 750 cc. Output figures have not been confirmed, but the power is expected to be in the region of 55 bhp. Visual differences include a redesigned engine casing, an updated radiator, and an all-new upswept exhaust system—different from the one used on the Interceptor 650. The Himalayan Electric, first introduced as a concept at EICMA, also made its way to Khardung La for testing. The original concept focused heavily on sustainable materials, featuring flax fibre bodywork and a bespoke battery pack. The production-intent version, however, shows several key differences. As per the report, the prototype sports a new aluminium frame configuration—including the main frame, subframe, and swingarm—departing from the brand's typical steel cradle frame. These structural changes are more in line with volume manufacturing while maintaining some of the conceptual design language. The battery housing has also been revised and may now use magnesium alloy materials, possibly inspired by the lightweight construction of the wartime Royal Enfield Flying Flea. Notably, the new version has done away with the beak-style front fender, opting instead for a taller windscreen. The seat is a single-piece unit that flows into a mock fuel tank—likely housing electrical components. A full LED lighting system has been installed, including a projector headlamp and a taillight unit similar to the Himalayan 450's. The frame around the fuel tank area might come with more refined, and the footpeg support structure has also been redesigned. The navigation tower, housing the instrumentation, has undergone changes in this iteration as well. Braking is handled by dual petal discs up front and a single disc at the rear.
