Royal Enfield, famous for its powerful and great motorcycles, is soon going to launch a new 250cc motorcycle in India. The company is preparing to expand its lineup with a new 250cc motorcycle platform. Through this segment, the company will target the entry-level premium bike segment.
According to media reports, the company is in talks with Chinese manufacturer CFMoto to develop hybrid engine technology for this platform. If this deal is finalized, it will be the first time that a third party engine will be used in a Royal Enfield bike. Let us know how much people will benefit if a Royal Enfield bike is launched with a 250cc engine?
A hybrid engine will give more mileage
Royal Enfield’s new 250cc bike will use CFMoto’s 250cc engine, which will be small, light and equipped with hybrid technology. With this engine, Royal Enfield bikes can give mileage of up to 45 km per liter and with hybrid technology this mileage can be up to 55 km per liter. The engine of the bike will be made compliant with BS6 Phase 2 and OBD-2B emission norms.
The price of the Royal Enfield bike will be low
According to reports, this bike with a 250cc engine has been named ‘V’ platform by the company. The ex-showroom price of this Royal Enfield bike can be up to Rs 1.30 lakh. After launching in India, it will be cheaper than the Hunter 350, whose price starts at Rs 1.49 lakh.
Through this bike, the company will target those who want to move from a 100- 125cc commuter bike to premium motorcycle. If its price remains the same as we have told, then it will compete with a 150- 160cc sport commuter bike and TVS Ronin, which has a 225cc engine. At the same time, most sporty naked bikes come in the 250cc segment, but Royal Enfield’s retro will make it special in this segment.
This bike will be made in India
90 percent of 250cc bike will be made in India, due to which its price will be affordable. This motorcycle will be made in Royal Enfield’s Chennai plant. It will be made not only for the Indian market but also for global markets.
