The Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 has added a fresh colour option in India, giving the brand’s first electric motorcycle a new visual identity. Called Parachute White, the new shade combines warm white bodywork with contrasting black elements and blue accents. It joins the existing Flea Green and Storm Black colour options.
The new colour is particularly interesting because the C6 already has a design that stands out from most electric motorcycles. Instead of following a conventional roadster or commuter-bike appearance, it uses an exposed structure, distinctive suspension and minimal bodywork inspired by the original Flying Flea motorcycle from the 1940s.
The Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 is currently priced at Rs. 2.79 lakh (ex-showroom Bengaluru). However, Royal Enfield has not announced separate pricing for the new Parachute White version yet.
Parachute White Adds a New Personality
The biggest update is the addition of Parachute White. The warm white finish gives the motorcycle a cleaner and more premium appearance, while black detailing adds contrast. Blue accents further highlight some of the motorcycle’s design elements.
For buyers who found Flea Green too distinctive or Storm Black too conventional, the new shade offers another option. Importantly, the colour change does not alter the motorcycle’s mechanical specifications.
The Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 continues to use the same electric powertrain, battery, suspension and electronic package regardless of the selected colour.
Classic Flying Flea Heritage Meets Modern Electric Design
Royal Enfield has used its historical Flying Flea name as a major design inspiration for the C6. The original lightweight motorcycle became known for its compact construction and military-era association during the 1940s.
The modern C6 takes some of those ideas and combines them with contemporary electric technology. Its exposed forged-aluminium exoskeleton is one of the most noticeable design features. The motorcycle also gets a finned magnesium battery enclosure, circular display and distinctive girder-style front suspension.
The frame uses a weld-free construction, while the compact rear section keeps bodywork to a minimum. This gives the motorcycle a lightweight and mechanical appearance.
The design has also received international recognition through a Red Dot Design Award.

Dimensions and Weight
The Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 has a claimed kerb weight of just 124 kg, which is relatively low for a full-size electric motorcycle.
| Specification | Flying Flea C6 |
|---|---|
| Length | 2,089 mm |
| Width | 831 mm |
| Height | 1,122 mm |
| Wheelbase | 1,366 mm |
| Seat Height | 823 mm |
| Ground Clearance | 207 mm |
| Kerb Weight | 124 kg |
| Wheel Size | 19-inch |
The motorcycle uses 19-inch cast alloy wheels at both ends with 90/90-section tubeless CEAT tyres. The 823 mm seat height should make the motorcycle reasonably accessible for many riders, although comfort will naturally depend on individual rider height and riding posture.
A ground clearance of 207 mm should also be useful on Indian roads, particularly when dealing with speed breakers and uneven surfaces.
3.5-Inch TFT Touchscreen With Connected Features
The Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 gets a 3.5-inch circular colour TFT touchscreen. Its round shape complements the motorcycle’s retro-inspired design while providing access to modern functions.
The display runs Flying Flea’s Fleaware OS and supports a wide range of connected features.
These include:
- Phone-as-key functionality
- Navigation
- Smartphone app connectivity
- Cruise control
- Electronic handlebar lock
- Remote tip-over alerts
- Location sharing
- Five preset ride modes
- Rider customisation
- Bi-directional Crawl Mode
- Auto-Hold
The motorcycle also provides useful charging options. Its storage compartment houses a 27W USB-C charging port along with 15W Qi-compatible wireless charging.
This combination means the C6 is not only focused on performance but also attempts to offer the type of connected convenience expected from a modern premium motorcycle.

15.4 kW Electric Motor
Powering the Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 is a permanent magnet synchronous motor. It produces 15.4 kW of peak power and 60 Nm of torque.
Power is transferred to the rear wheel through a two-stage belt system. According to the claimed figures, the motorcycle can reach a top speed of 115 kmph.
That makes the C6 more than just a city-focused electric commuter. Its performance specifications suggest that it has been designed to handle a broader range of everyday riding conditions.
The motor’s instant torque delivery should also provide the quick response generally associated with electric motorcycles, although real-world performance will depend on riding mode and conditions.
3.91 kWh Battery Delivers Up to 154 km Claimed Range
The battery pack has a capacity of 3.91 kWh. It contains 224 laser-welded NCA cells and is housed inside a magnesium casing.
The battery pack voltage is rated at 101.9 ± 0.5V.
Flying Flea claims an IDC range of 154 km for the C6. As with any claimed electric-vehicle range figure, the actual distance covered on a single charge can vary depending on speed, riding style, traffic, temperature, rider weight and road conditions.
For urban riding, the claimed range could provide enough capacity for regular commuting between charging sessions.
Suspension and Braking Hardware
The Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 uses an unusual front suspension setup that contributes significantly to its appearance.
At the front, there is a girder-linkage hydraulic twin suspension system offering 100 mm of travel. At the rear, the motorcycle gets a direct-acting monoshock with an internal floating piston and 110 mm of travel.
Braking hardware includes:
- 260 mm front disc
- 220 mm rear disc
- Dual-channel ABS
- Three ABS sensitivity settings
- Switchable rear ABS
- Lean-angle-sensitive ABS
- Lean-sensitive traction control
The electronic safety package is one of the more technology-focused aspects of the motorcycle. Lean-sensitive systems can adjust their intervention based on the motorcycle’s angle, adding another layer of electronic assistance during riding.
Charging From a Regular 16A Socket
One practical feature of the Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 is its integrated charging hardware.
Unlike some electric motorcycles that require owners to carry a separate charging brick, the C6 can be connected directly to a regular 16A electrical socket.
Flying Flea claims approximately 65 minutes for a 20–80 per cent charge. A full 0–100 per cent charge is claimed to take around 2 hours 16 minutes.
For home users, this approach could make charging more straightforward because there is no separate charging unit that needs to be carried around.
Price and Colour Options
The Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 is currently priced at Rs. 2.79 lakh ex-showroom Bengaluru.
The Parachute White colour has been confirmed for India, but its separate pricing has not been revealed.
| Colour Option* | Availability |
|---|---|
| Flea Green | Existing |
| Storm Black | Existing |
| Parachute White | New Addition |
The addition of Parachute White gives customers three distinct colour themes without changing the underlying specifications of the motorcycle.
What Makes the C6 Different?
The Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 takes a noticeably different approach to electric motorcycles. Instead of simply converting a familiar petrol-bike design into an electric platform, Flying Flea has developed a motorcycle with its own visual language.
Its 124 kg kerb weight, 15.4 kW peak motor, 60 Nm torque, 154 km claimed IDC range and 115 kmph claimed top speed give it a strong technical foundation.
At the same time, the exposed exoskeleton, circular TFT display and girder-style front suspension help distinguish it visually.
The extensive electronic package is another major part of its identity, with multiple ride modes, traction control, lean-sensitive ABS, cruise control and connected functions.
Final Verdict of Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6
The Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 gets a fresh visual update with the introduction of Parachute White in India. The new colour combines warm white bodywork with black detailing and blue accents, giving the electric motorcycle a cleaner and more sophisticated appearance.
