Adventure bikes are one of the last unmapped routes in the e-moto world. Sports bikes grab headlines, commuters make financial sense, and dirt bikes suit short, savage blasts. ADV though, that's a different game entirely.
With the Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 already hitting showrooms in India, and a full, catalogue-style spec sheet seemingly hard to find, we figured we’d do everyone a favour and lay it all out in one clean, easy format.

We all know the game by now: big range number on the brochure, smaller number once you hand over your hard-earned cash and start riding the thing. The reason it keeps happening comes down to how electric two-wheelers are tested, and the maths gets pretty ugly once you leave the gentle, controlled world of the tes
