Honda unveiled the RN0, a full-suspension electric mountain bike with a one-piece carbon fiber Y-frame, at EICMA 2026. [Autoevolution](https://www.autoevolution.com/news/mind-blown-honda-does-the-unthinkable-and-drops-an-e-bike-at-eicma-2026-with-a-carbon-y-frame-277932.html) reported the debut on November 3, 2026, and said pricing has not been disclosed. ## Honda's RN0 Build and Shimano Drive The RN0 was completed with [Rotwild Bikes](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/000ui7u/rotwild-bikes), which Autoevolution describes as a frequent collaborator for automotive brands entering e-biking. Honda calls the carbon frame "exclusive," and the bike carries a Gullwing Swingarm design that Honda says comes from its own drawing books. A Fox Float X Factory rear shock provides 145 mm of rear-wheel travel, while a Fox 36 Factory fork at the front offers 160 mm of travel with Kashima coating on the stanchions. A dropped post is integrated under the top arm of the Y-frame, and Autoevolution notes that available travel depends on frame size. Shimano supplies the drivetrain and electronics: a 750 W peak motor with 100 Nm (74 lb-ft) of torque, paired with auto shift, auto assist and Trail+ mode. Auto assist analyzes rider input and delivers what is asked for, while Trail+ changes the assistance level from Eco to Boost. Toni Bou, a 40-time world champion on a Honda, and freeride MTB rider Antoine Buffart tested the RN0 and described the frame as "motorcross style," according to Autoevolution. ## Honda's EICMA 2026 Motorcycle Lineup Honda also unveiled the 2027 CBR1000RR-R Fireblade at EICMA 2026 with about 75% of components redesigned, including a new aluminum chassis and a two-stage variable intake, stupidDOPE reported. TimesNow reported that Honda revealed the 2027 Africa Twin range ahead of the show, adding an Enduro Sports off-road variant with a larger 1,131cc engine producing 117hp, a revised frame and Showa EERA suspension with Skyhook control. TimesNow also reported the ADV125 scooter, with a 125cc eSP+ engine producing 12.32hp and 11.7Nm of torque, a claimed top speed of 97km/h, 47.6 km/L fuel efficiency and 385km range on an 8.1-litre tank. ## Rivian, Amflow and LYVA at EICMA Other e-bike makers have also announced launches.
