Royal Enfield Classic 650: Specs
The engine on duty is the same sweet 647 cc, air-oil cooled unit that uses a 270-degree firing order. It puts out 46.39 bhp of max power at 7,250 rpm and a peak torque output of 52.3 Nm at 5,650 rpm. The gearbox on duty is a 6-speed unit with slip-and-assist clutch.
The engine is known for its torquey power delivery and rumble. The gearbox is also quite smooth but the clutch is on the heavier side. We will have to ride the motorcycle to see whether Royal Enfield has made any changes to the engine and gearbox or not.
Royal Enfield Classic 650: Features
In terms of features, the Classic 650 comes with the same instrument cluster that is doing duty on the Classic 350. It gets an analogue speedometer with telltale lights and a small digital readout that shows the odometer, trip metre, fuel level indicator, service reminder, gear position indicator and clock. Royal Enfield is also offering a Tripper navigation system.
