Royal Enfield has patented the design of its Flying Flea S6 scrambler in India. This marks the brand’s second electric model under the Flying Flea sub-brand, following the C6 roadster that is slated to launch next year.
- S6 and C6 share the same ‘L’ platform
- S6 is more off-road-oriented than the urban-focused C6
Flying Flea S6 design patent: What we know
Scheduled to launch later next year
The Flying Flea C6 and S6, first showcased at EICMA in Milan, are built on the same platform but are clearly differentiated to suit distinct use cases.
The S6 adopts a more adventure- and off-road-oriented approach compared to the C6. It features a 19-inch front wheel and an 18-inch rear wheel, both running spoked rims wrapped in dual-purpose tyres. Suspension duties are handled by a USD fork with longer travel, replacing the distinctive girder fork setup seen on the C6.
Other notable design elements include a long, enduro-style seat in place of the C6’s solo saddle, along with a finned magnesium battery casing. While detailed technical specifications have not yet been revealed, Royal Enfield has previously confirmed that the S6 will feature an off-road riding mode, switchable dual-channel ABS, lean-angle-sensitive ABS and traction control.
While the Flying Flea C6 is expected to launch in early 2026, the S6 is likely to follow later in the year. Royal Enfield is believed to be targeting international markets with its electric motorcycles initially, but both models will be sold in India as well. The filing of the S6 design patent in India further suggests that the brand is actively preparing to introduce its first electric motorcycles in the domestic market.
