STARS OF EICMA 2023

Every year, during the month of November, Milan, the fashion capital of Italy transforms into a mecca of new motorcycle launches 
ANANT PANDEY
STARS OF EICMA 2023

Rather than ramp walks trodden with supermodels, Milan becomes a center stage of spanking new motorcycles. The pilgrimage called EICMA witnesses renowned two-wheeler brands from across the globe unveiling their latest products and a peek into the future. The 2023 iteration of this fest wasn’t disappointing at all and here are the major motorcycles that were unveiled at EICMA:  

ROYAL ENFIELD 

The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 was revealed to the world a few days before EICMA, RE showcased it in person at EICMA to the rest of the world. But the major highlight at RE’s stand wasn’t the Himalayan 450. (Wait, what?). It was the Him-E. An electric Himalayan. While the world was expecting RE to showcase its electric journey with something in the lines of an electric Classic, the Him-E certainly came as a shocker. However, Royal Enfield hasn’t revealed anything concrete about the Him-E, just that this would prove to be the testing bed for RE’s electric voyage. 

HERO MOTOCORP 

The homegrown bikemaker made big waves with its presence at EICMA, showcasing a handful of products. Gone are the days when Hero was considered to be a conventional brand because one good look at their EICMA stand revealed how serious they’re getting regarding the game. The Xoom 160 was the star of the show, as it is touted to be India’s first homegrown ADV scooter. It is going to be powered by a 156cc single-cylinder motor with Hero’s i3s technology. What also makes the Xoom 160 a unique proposition is the set of 14-inch wheels shod with block-pattern tyres.
