Flying Flea C6 Wins Red Dot Design Award 2025, Redefining City+ Mobility

Flying Flea, Royal Enfield’s forward-looking city+ mobility brand, has secured one of the world’s most prestigious honors: the Red Dot Design Award 2025 in the “Design Concept” category for its debut product, the Flying Flea C6 (FF.C6).

Inspired by the legendary Royal Enfield Flying Flea motorcycle of the 1940s—built initially for WWII paratroopers—the FF.C6 reinterprets that spirit of agility and lightness for a new era of electric mobility.



Design That Bridges Past and Future

The FF.C6 blends minimalist aesthetics with futuristic detailing. Signature highlights include:

  • A floating saddle and headlamp, giving the bike a sleek, sculptural silhouette.

  • A forged aluminum exoskeleton frame, combining strength and fluidity.

  • A magnesium-cased battery with distinctive cooling fins symbolizing both heritage and innovation.

  • A modern girder fork suspension, exposing clean mechanical lines while improving tactile feedback.

“Every line and every detail of the FF.C6 is a deliberate expression of our belief that design is the essence of how we think and connect,” said Sivakumar S, Head of Industrial Design, Flying Flea & Royal Enfield EVs. “Winning the Red Dot Award is both an honor and encouragement as we redefine city+ mobility.”

Cultural Vision Meets Innovation

The FF.C6’s win is part of Flying Flea’s broader design-first philosophy. Earlier this year, the brand presented Motototem, an art piece by LA-based artist Mattia Biagi, at Salone del Mobile 2025. The brand has also partnered with École Duperré, Paris, where students reimagined its ethos through fashion, design, and installations. These cultural collaborations position Flying Flea as more than a motorcycle brand—it’s evolving into a cultural symbol.
