EICMA 2026 opens in Milan on 3 November with 754 exhibitors in ten halls, Royal Enfield teases the Himalayan 750

The year's densest cluster of two-wheeler reveals starts next week. EICMA, the Milan motorcycle show, runs from 3 to 8 November at Fiera Milano Rho, with Tuesday 3 and Wednesday 4 November reserved for press and trade visitors and the public days from 5 to 8 November. Royal Enfield added the India hook on 26 October, when it released a first teaser image of the Himalayan 750 ahead of the bike's global debut in Milan, as reported by autoX.

The 83rd edition is the biggest one at Rho

EICMA's own announcement, dated 13 October, puts this edition at 754 exhibitors and 2,120 brands from 52 countries, spread across ten halls and over 300,000 square metres. The organisers say 74 per cent of the brands are not Italian and roughly 30 per cent of the direct exhibitors are new or returning. Ten halls is one more than the previous edition, which makes this the largest EICMA since the show moved to the Rho site.

EICMA chief executive Paolo Magri said in that release that the figures "demonstrate EICMA's continuing ability to attract investment, welcome new companies and represent the global motorcycle industry".

The pre-show news feed on eicma.it has been filling up all month, which is the clearest guide to what will actually be on the stands. On 27 October the show listed Triumph's new Tiger 1200 in four versions with 158 hp, plus Kawasaki's fuel-injected two-stroke KX327 and KX327X. The 26 October items included the Ducati Desmo250 MX. Earlier in the month came the BMW F 450 RR for A2 licence holders on 19 October, the Kawasaki Versys 900 on 16 October and the 2027 Honda CBR600RR on 23 October. Several of those names matter in India, either as CBUs or as models that shape what the local arms sell next.

What the Himalayan 750 teaser does and does not confirm

Royal Enfield's teaser shows a fairing, an upright stance and an LED headlamp set into the front shrouds. The 750cc parallel-twin, the new frame, swingarm and monoshock, the fully adjustable front suspension and the TFT cluster are part of what has been detailed so far. Power and torque figures are still expected rather than stated, with autoX reporting around 50 bhp and about 65 Nm. Treat the colours doing the rounds as unconfirmed. Until Royal Enfield stands the bike on its Milan stand, everything beyond the teaser is spied or expected.

The Indian calendar after Milan

For Indian readers the Milan reveals feed straight into a busy home season. Royal Enfield's own Motoverse runs at HillTop in Vagator, Goa, from 27 to 29 November 2026, and the company's event page lists tickets from ₹700 with prices rising closer to the date. India Bike Week follows on 4 to 5 December 2026, and this year it moves to Panchgani in Maharashtra, roughly 4 hours from Mumbai and 2.5 hours from Pune, with gates opening at 1 pm.

After that the focus shifts to cars and components. Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2027 is listed on the official site for 4 to 9 February 2027 at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, with the Yashobhoomi halls in Dwarka running from 4 to 7 February. Auto Expo The Motor Show 2027 sits inside that window at Bharat Mandapam. So the planning order for the desk is simple. Milan next week, Goa at the end of November, Panchgani in early December, Delhi in February.
