EICMA 2023: Top 5 Highlights From Milan: RE Him-E, Hero Xoom, UV F99

Every year, EICMA unveils exciting new bikes and concepts. While not all of the two-wheelers will make it to India, let alone materialise into production-ready two-wheelers, we think these five had the biggest say at this year’s event.

Royal Enfield's Electric Adventure HIM-E

Introduced alongside the new Himalayan, this electric adventure bike isn't a concept but a starting point for Royal Enfield's electric ventures. It resembles the older Himalayan, exuding a functional look, and seems to be a window to promises that will evolve with new electric concepts in the coming years.

Hero Xoom 160

The Hero stall had featured its adventure-styled maxi scooter, the Xoom 160. It was the first maxi scooter for an Indian manufacturer, with a central spine, tall face, and a massive boot. With a nearly production-ready appearance, it is anticipated to hit the market in 2024. Here is more information about Xoom 160.

Ultraviolette F99

The Ultraviolette F99 was showcased as India's fastest electric bike. While it is only a racing platform, the impressive specs, including 120 horsepower, 0-100 kmph in 3 seconds, and a top speed of 265 km/h, rivals middleweight ICE bikes.
