Last week was filled with excitement in the world of two-wheelers, with numerous new launches and sneak peeks into upcoming models. However, what truly stole the spotlight was the unexpected appearance of Royal Enfield’s inaugural electric bike in spy shots circulating online.
The 2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 received a significant upgrade for enhanced comfort, featuring improvements like a revamped rear suspension, modified seat, and handlebar. Additionally, the motorcycle now boasts an LED headlamp, USB-C fast charging port, and an assist and slipper clutch. Royal Enfield also introduced three new color options and slightly raised the prices of its mid and top variants.
Another notable launch was the 2025 Ducati Scrambler Full Throttle, which hit the market with a price tag of Rs. 12.60 lakh. The new model showcases a sleek design upgrade compared to its predecessor, with subtle cosmetic tweaks and a fresh black and bronze paint scheme. It also sports new bronze wheels and a side number plate, while retaining its core mechanics.
Kawasaki also made waves with the unveiling of the 2025 version of the Ninja 650 in India. Priced at Rs. 7.27 lakh, the updated model now comes in a vibrant Lime Green color option, accompanied by a marginal price increase. Powered by a 649cc parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine, the Ninja 650 delivers 67bhp at 8,000rpm and a peak torque of 64Nm at 6,700rpm.
On the electric front, Royal Enfield’s pioneering electric bike, the Flying Flea C6, was spotted undergoing testing in India. Positioned as an urban commuter with the capability for light rides beyond city limits, the Flying Flea C6 marks Royal Enfield’s foray into the electric segment. The company clarified that the bike is not designed for long-distance touring and emphasized that all future electric models would fall under the Flying Flea brand.
Meanwhile, the 2025 Bajaj Dominar 400 was sighted at dealerships ahead of its official launch, showcasing a new LCD instrument cluster and updated switchgear for enhanced user experience. The Dominar 400 is expected to feature ride-by-wire technology and various ABS modes, catering to different riding scenarios with options like Road, Rain, Sport, and Off-road modes.
As the industry continues to evolve, these recent developments underscore the growing trend towards electric mobility and advanced features in the two-wheeler segment. With established players like Royal Enfield and Ducati venturing into electric bikes and introducing innovative upgrades in their conventional models, the future of biking looks promising with a blend of tradition and modernity.
