At EICMA 2026, Royal Enfield unveiled the Himalayan 750, the largest member of its adventure family to date. The new twin brings technology the brand has never offered before and is clearly aimed at long-distance travellers rather than off-road sport riders.
At EICMA 2026, KTM presented the production specs of the 1390 Super Duke GT and, for the first time, added a GT EVO with an automated manual transmission. Compared with the first unveiling in 2024, a lot has changed, especially in the gearbox, tyres, brakes and electronics.
CFMoto is showing two new adventure bikes at EICMA 2026 that share a newly developed twin-cylinder engine. The 550MT is designed for tarmac and long tours, the 550MT-X for gravel, rocks and forest trails.
Triumph is sending its two sports enduros into the 2027 model year with revised KYB suspension, new clutch parts and a modified gearshift. In Germany, both models are also getting 200 euros cheaper.
At EICMA 2026, Phelon & Moore presents the Capetown 5X and Capetown 5 Rally, two compact adventure bikes positioned below the Capetown 7. Both use a new 450 cc twin tailored precisely to the A2 licence, but differ significantly in wheels, suspension travel and intended use.
KTM surprisingly unveiled the 450 RC for the 2028 model year at EICMA 2026. The small twin-cylinder supersport bike comes with cornering ABS and adjustable WP suspension, but has nothing to do with the announced 490 range.
KTM unveiled the new Factory Editions of the 450 SX-F and 250 SX-F at EICMA 2026. Frame, fork, engine and electronics are new, and this very technology is set to feature across the entire SX range from 2028.
The three-cylinder Rino 900 arrives in Milan as a production model one year after the prototype, and with the OAO MAX, QJMotor is showing a fully faired electric sports bike for everyday use. They are joined by an off-road capable SRT 800 RX, two new 125s for the A1 licence and an SRK 1000 RR that is only on display for now.
CFMoto has unveiled the production version of its first superbike at EICMA 2026. The V4SR-RR comes with an in-house V4 engine, more than 210 hp and movable winglets, but price and delivery date are still missing.
Letbe is bringing five model families to Milan, from a lightweight 125 to a 350 cc maxi scooter. Two of them are already on sale in Spain, while little more than the name is known about the other three.
With the Capra 700, Benda is entering the adventure segment for the first time, relying on a V-twin instead of the usual parallel twin. On paper it delivers exactly the output of the Yamaha Ténéré 700, but it takes a different path when it comes to weight and the front brake.
At EICMA 2026, Benda enters the roadster segment for the first time with the Vinster 700 and the Vinster X 700. Both use the V-twin of the Rock 707 but deliberately do without its elaborate cruiser technology.
For the M 1000 RS, BMW takes the M 1000 RR engine at full power and puts it into an unfaired motorcycle. The RS badge does not refer to the brand’s sport tourers but to early racing machines such as the RS 255 Kompressor.
Ultraviolette is bringing the X-47 Venom to Europe and is charging 8,450 euros for it, more than three times as much as at launch in India. At EICMA in Milan, the Indian manufacturer is also showing the Tesseract Maxi scooter, three AI helmet concepts and a voice assistant.
Suzuki is bringing its 645 cc V-twin back to the road as a classic naked bike and giving it a new name. The SV-7S adopts the basic recipe of the SV650 and adds riding modes, traction control, a quickshifter and a connected colour display.
At EICMA in Milan, Suzuki is showing the GSX-10R, a fully faired sportbike with the familiar K5 four-cylinder and 152 PS. The focus is not on lap times but on an extensive electronics package and everyday usability, while the GSX-R1000R stays in the range.
Ducati is bringing back the Streetfighter V4 SP as a numbered limited series and equipping the naked bike with technology from the track. The new flagship costs €36,990 in Germany and arrives at dealers from March 2027.
At EICMA 2026 in Milan, Arai is unveiling the Horizon-X, a new full-face helmet for the road. At the same time, the manufacturer is showing the design of the limited 2027 TT edition of the RX-7V EVO, this time with a blue instead of a black logo.
Benda showed the Dark Flag 600 Ultra EC at EICMA 2026, a V4 cruiser with an electronic clutch and automatically lowering air suspension. Compared with the familiar Dark Flag 500 Commander, it gains around 23 hp and still weighs six kilos less.
With the Africa Twin Enduro Sports, Honda is introducing a third version of its big adventure bike for the first time, one clearly aimed at tough terrain. It does without the electronic suspension of its sister models and instead relies on long suspension travel, more ground clearance and 9 kg less weight.
