In March 2021, Royal Enfield has updated the models with new paint schemes. The new paint schemes refreshed the styling on the Royal Enfield's flagship models. Even after the timely price corrections, the Royal Enfield 650 Twins continue to remain the most affordable middleweight motorcycles in the country. Apart from this, Royal Enfield has also announced a price hike on its Classic 350 motorcycle.

Meanwhile, the two-wheeler maker is also planning to utilise the same 650 cc platform for other future models, including a bigger 650 cc Himlayan, but nothing is officially confirmed at the moment.
