With this, TVS is set to make a splash in Europe, aligning with their £200 million investment in reviving the legendary brand.
Royal Enfield, celebrating its 125th anniversary, wowed attendees with its new models, including the Bullet 650, Classic 650 125th Anniversary Special Edition, and the Flying Flea FF.S6 electric scrambler, expected to launch by 2026.
