Royal Enfield Flying Flea S6 Scrambler teased with dollar fork

One day before the 2024 EICMA Auto Show, Royal Enfield’s electric vehicle sub-brand Flying Flea launched its first electric product C6. In addition, the company also previewed a scrambler-style electric motorcycle called the “Flying Flea S6”. Given that C6 deliveries will begin the year before, we expect the S6 to launch sometime in 2027.

While the Flying Flea S6 sits on the C6 electric platform – which underpins a forged aluminum frame and magnesium battery pack – it features an inverted front fork with 60% more suspension travel. The bike features aluminum spoked wheels wrapped in dual-purpose tires. The rear tires are expected to be smaller than the front ones. At the same time, Feifia C6 uses a beam-type front fork and a rear single shock absorber. Stopping power comes from disc brakes mounted on 19-inch alloy wheels shod with tubeless CEAT tyres.

Going back to the S6, the Scrambler features a flat bench-style seat inspired by enduro racing, while the C6 bobber motorcycle has a concave one-piece seat. Royal Enfield says the S6 is 60 kilometers per hour faster than the bobber. Technical specifications have yet to be revealed, but the S6 is expected to feature a chain drive system. In terms of features, the Flying Flea S6 is likely to offer a TFT instrument console, similar to the C6. Other expected features include traction control, cornering ABS (anti-lock braking system) and ride modes. Further details have not yet been revealed.

Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Rally debuts at EICMA 2024

However, while the C6 is launched here, Royal Enfield has already launched the Himalayan 450 Rally at EICMA 2024, which will open to the public on November 7. We don’t expect the Rally version to arrive in India; it could be launched in international markets as an optional variant. It has been revealed that the Himalayan 450 Rally will come with handlebar support pads, new hand guards, rally-specific seats and a rally-style rear cowl.

Powering the Rally is likely to be a 452cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that produces 40bhp and 40Nm of peak torque, paired to a 6-speed gearbox.
