Royal Enfield launched the Hunter 350 to increase its reach to customers. The company has already made it more accessible to make both the price and physicality of your brand. Now it seems that his company is ready to take its strategy further.
According to Autocar's report, a lot of information has been received about the company's front plating. Keep an eye on the company's future models as they work on a new 250cc engine platform.
Reports suggest that Royal Enfield has been considering a new 250cc platform for several years now. However, it has still only recently received the green signal. This 250cc motor on the so-called V platform is likely to have a simple and straightforward architecture to facilitate production cost control. Likewise, speculate that it will be technically powered by a 350cc air-cooled motor instead of the new liquid-cooled Sherpa 450.
Kawasaki is currently in the market
According to the report, it is also revealed that Royal Enfield will explore hybrid options with this new 250cc engine. Currently this is more of an engineering matter for the production model. Kawasaki is the only mainstream manufacturing company whose hybrid motorcycles are available for sale in the market. The name of this bike of Kawasaki is Niza 7 Hybrid.
Historically, bikes like the Clipper (60 or tens of 200s built) and the original 65 Continental GT 250 are examples of 50cc Royal Enfields. Our understanding is that the first 250cc V-platform B will arrive around 2026-27 and become the entry point into Royal Enfield ownership.
