Royal Enfield is conducting high altitude testing of their all-new electric motorcycles, the Flying C6 which was spotted testing globally also and now it has also seen testing at the roads of India. For the very first time, Royal Enfield has unveiled a sneak peek of their S6 Scrambler on the streets of India.

The company has confirmed plans to roll out their Flying C6 electric motorcycle in India, potentially launching it in Q4 of FY2026. All the manufacturers test their vehicles in extreme climatic conditions to analyse their performance and see whether they are able to withstand the high altitude terrains and that’s why they are testing the capabilities of their electric motorcycles in Ladakh. 

Flying C6 Hardware

The all-new Flying S6 incorporates an electric scrambler that comes embodied within the new vertical. It shares the same components as the C6 electric cruiser, but comes with different mechanical settings. The S6 will be composed with upside-down forks, which provides 60% more travel compared to the standard girder forks attached to the C6. 

The all-electric motorcycle will run on aluminium-wired spoked alloy wheels and is equipped with dual-purpose tires for added grip and durability. The one-piece seats are improvised and come with enduro-inspired tech and raised ground clearance to ensure proper ride and handling. 

Royal Enfield claims that the S6 will be more efficient and powerful than C6 and can achieve a faster 0-60 Km/h than C6.
