India's 2026 bike launches include models priced roughly from ₹ 73,000 to over ₹10.5 lakh, ranging from the Hero HF Deluxe flex-fuel caterers to the re-engineered KTM 390 Duke, Royal Enfield's first electric (Flying Flea C6), and Honda's clutchless CB750 Hornet.
If you are planning to buy a new two-wheeler this year, 2026 will have an unusually busy launch calendar, neatly divided into three categories. At the very bottom of the price ladder, you'll see ethanol flex-fuel commuters arriving for the first time. In the middle, there are performance bikes that everyone knows that have been re-engineered- for example, the new 350cc KTM 390 Duke, the refreshed Pulsar 220F, and the feature-loaded Apache RTR 310. And at the top, electric motorcycles have become mainstream, with Royal Enfield leading the way.

This list includes the bikes you can buy right now, arranged by price, followed by those expected later this year
Prices and specifications as of June 2026. All prices are ex-showroom, India, and exclude registration, insurance, and road tax.
At ₹72,792 (ex-showroom), this is the cheapest 2026 launch on the list and one of India's first ethanol flex-fuel commuters; it can run on petrol or higher ethanol blends. The 97.2cc engine and a claimed 70 km/l keep it firmly in workhorse territory. A buyer's best option is to go for the lowest running cost and not concern themselves with anything else. The Splendor+ Flex Fuel, the sibling, is only slightly higher at ₹82,810.

The 2026 Apache RTR 160 4V (starting at ₹1.25 lakh) is the priciest bike in its 160cc category, packed with features like ride modes, and a sporty look that one would expect to pay more for. Its 159.7 cc motor churns out 17.30 bhp and according to the manufacturer, it can run 41 km/l (ARAI). It is a great choice for a starter who wants an economical two-wheeler but at the same time, it is not dull like a normal commuter.

The original semi-faired Pulsar has been updated for the year 2026 and now features LED projector lamps. The price of the bike starts at ₹1.28 lakh. The 220cc engine has not changed its power output and still produces 20.9 hp. Remarkably, it returns a mileage of 38-42 km/l, which makes it one of the limited budget-friendly motorcycles that are more oriented towards highway touring than your everyday city ride. Suitable especially for those who want to enjoy a comfy ride without spending too much.

Starting at ₹1.63 lakh, the MT-15 V2 comes with a 155cc liquid-cooled engine (18.4 bhp) and has a naked streetfighter look. It is fast, lightweight, and yet manages to deliver about 47 km/l in the city, which is very unusual for such a sporty machine. Ideal for those who want a great driving experience and fuel economy together.

The 350cc remains the baseline model in the category of modern classics starting at ₹1.93 lakh. It delivers 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm from the 349cc engine, and it retains its charm because of the thump, torque and a very strong resale value. One can expect real-world fuel consumption to be in the range of 35-41 km/l. A rider who wants a bike full of character and a laid-back ride will definitely favour this bike rather than the one with the fastest top speed.

Priced at ₹2.23 lakh, the Apache RTR 310 is among the cheapest feature-packed naked bikes under 500cc available in the market, equipped with cornering ABS and riding modes. Its 312.12cc liquid-cooled engine delivers 35.1 bhp. Definitely a powerhouse for a person upgrading from a 160-200cc motorcycle and looks for high-end electronics at a non-premium cost.

A new 349cc engine delivering 41.5 PS and 33.5 Nm of torque powered the re-engineered 2026 390 Duke (starting from ₹2.77 lakh) the output is slightly less than the previous 399cc engine but the price is considerably lower. The fuel efficiency is also approximately 27.5 km/l. Ideal for one looking for the harsh, ferocious naked of this segment.

On 10 April 2026 Royal Enfield unveiled the Flying Flea C6 priced at ₹2.79 lakh. This is not only the company's first electric vehicle but also its lightest bike ever weighing just 124 kg. Its 3.91 kWh battery pack provides an IDC range of 154 km along with 60 Nm of instant torque plus five riding modes.
Suitable for individuals who want an electric vehicle that truly has personality rather than simply being another electric commuter.

The CB750 Hornet priced at ₹10.49 lakh (ex-showroom) is the most expensive bike in the lineup here. Honda has introduced the clutchless E-Clutch technology of the CB750 Hornet to the big-naked segment, without using the clutch lever you can change gears. The 755cc parallel-twin produces 90.51 bhp and 75 Nm. A high-end option for seasoned riders who want a stylish and powerful street bike.

First decide your budget range, then your vehicle segment. If your budget is under ₹1 lakh, flex-fuel and standard commuters are the ones who will mostly interest you, focus mainly on running and maintenance costs.
For ₹1.25 lakh to ₹2 lakh, you will be able to afford a sport commuter, a streetfighter, or a modern classic; the selection depends on your riding style (daily commute, weekend touring, or showing off style).
You can choose between performance naked bikes and electric vehicles when your budget exceeds ₹2 lakh. Don't forget to see whether a particular model is currently on sale or still "expected", listing pages sometimes combine the two.
Watch the gap between ex-showroom and on-road price: A motorcycle that is advertised at ₹1.28 lakh ex-showroom price will usually be 10-15% higher on the road after registration, road tax and mandatory insurance charges are added. Consider these costs when planning your budget also recall that a new motorcycle must have two-wheeler insurance before it can be legally taken out of the showroom.
These are the models mentioned but not available for sale as of the date of this publication. It should be noted that prices and dates are just approximate and not official.
A large variety to choose from: Latest 2026 motorcycles can be found in a price range starting at ₹73, 000 (Hero HF Deluxe Flex Fuel) all the way up to more than ₹10.5 lakh (Honda CB750 Hornet), so there is a new launch in almost every budget band.
Three broad segments: Flex-fuel two-wheelers for the lower end, performance bikes with new engineering in the middle, while electric two-wheeler get main stream, the Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 is the lead model.
Available vs expected: The major table shows motorcycles that are available for purchase today; Karizma XMR 250, Flying Flea S6, and Himalayan 750 are still anticipated, so their prices and dates should be considered with caution.
You should be able to budget for the on-road cost, not just the showroom price: Roughly calculate your costs of registering, road tax, and mandatory insurance combined to 10-15% before making a decision.
Prices and specifications are as of June 2026 and are starting ex-showroom figures; they vary by city and variant. Verify the latest price with the manufacturer or dealer before purchase.
Apart from the rest of the 2026 new launches, the Hero HF Deluxe Flex Fuel is by far the cheapest one at just Rs. 72, 792 (ex-showroom).
Flex-fuel motorcycles operate on petrol as well as higher blends of ethanol which require lower fuel expenses and cause lower emissions. Hero in 2026, unveiled the flex-fuel variants of HF Deluxe (₹72, 792) and Splendor+ (₹82, 810).
