The speculation heard many years ago is now going to come true. Royal Enfield is now gearing up to start working on a 250cc engine. Recently, the top management of the organization gave the green signal to this project. Royal Enfield's entry level 250cc motorcycle may be launched cheaply between 2026 and 2027.
Royal Enfield's new 250cc platform will be kept very simple and straightforward. The objective is only one, and that is to save costs. In terms of technology, it will follow the company's 350cc air-cooled engine. The company aims to attract the younger generation, who are eager to get a taste of Royal Enfield at a lower price.
According to a report by Autocar India, Enfield is also considering hybrid technology with a 250cc engine. That is, like a hybrid car, it will have internal combustion engine as well as battery operation. But all this is in the preliminary stage at the moment. It is highly likely that the production model will not have the hybrid system. Only Kawasaki currently has such a hybrid motorcycle.
It is unknown what kind of features Royal Enfield 250 cc bike will have. They always keep the product secret before launching it in the market. As a result, there was no comment from the company regarding this bike. Let it be known that although the arrival of 250 cc bike is far away, Royal Enfield Guerrilla is going to be launched on July 17. This is going to be the company's second 450cc bike.
