Bear in mind again in August when Royal Enfield confirmed that they’d be down for an electrical mannequin?
If we recall, the important thing issue that stood out most was when Eicher’s Managing Director commented the next:
“A ground-up electrical Royal Enfield will launch when battery tech improves and prices climb down.”
Nicely, a leak has simply squirted out into our trade from AutoCarIndia displaying a partial view of a Royal Enfield zero-emission idea – shoulder, fork and gasoline tank.
Right here’s a view of their publish on Twitter.
Are battery costs higher?
…not since we’ve final checked, however then once more we’ve been instructed this bike gained’t be hitting the market till round 2025.
In response to RideApart, this bike has formally hit the ‘High quality Perform Growth idea part,’ one which renders the construct able to fundamental working order.
What’s notably new is that braced fork.
My eyes didn’t have a clue at what I used to be taking a look at initially; with a split-beam exo-brace travelling all the way down to (what seems to be) the wheel axle and shorter suspension stanchions connected on the ‘Y’ of the brace, it regarded like Royal Enfield had created an aesthetic girder fork with moot shock-absorbing properties.

Then I noticed the smaller elbow hinge on the prime of the bike’s steering tube.
Because the bike hits a bump, the forks are engaged, and compress, pushing the brace up for that very same prime elbow hinge to catch the surplus carry.
Very attention-grabbing, and a design I don’t see typically in immediately’s manufacturing fashions.
The remainder of the bike’s accoutrements are roughly typica of Royal Enfield; a shiny black ‘tank’ piece covers what may very well be an airbox, battery or electrical element chaos, whereas the one spherical headlight, black alloy entrance wheel and Avon tyres add class and elegance.
We’ll undoubtedly be conserving our eyes open for this magnificence when Royal Enfield decides to get free extra particulars – till then, keep tuned, drop a remark under, and as at all times – keep secure on the twisties.
