Royal Enfield launches limited 125th Anniversary Hypershift Classic 650

Royal Enfield has unveiled the Hypershift Classic 650, a limited-edition motorcycle celebrating the brand's 125th anniversary. To mark the milestone, production is strictly capped at 125 units per major global region.

The commemorative model features a bespoke Hypershift paint finish that shifts between red, green, and gold tones depending on light angles. The design incorporates a brass base layer as a tribute to the company's 1901 origins, alongside a gilded 125-year crest, unique side-panel badging, and hand-painted pinstripes. While the aesthetics are highly customized, the motorcycle utilizes the existing 650 Twin platform, featuring a 648cc air-cooled parallel-twin engine.

Registration for the limited release opened on October 16, 2026, and is scheduled to close in late October. Deliveries are expected to begin in November 2026 in most markets, though timelines may vary by region. Specific availability includes 35 units for Japan, 25 units for the UK, and 17 units for Indonesia. Pricing varies by country, with examples including ₹4,25,589 in India, £8,100 in the UK, and €10,999 in the Netherlands.
