Want a 650cc bike? Here are upcoming Royal Enfield 650cc bikes
- The upcoming Royal Enfield 650cc bikes will use the same engine as the other 650 cc motorcycles. It is a 648 cc, parallel-twin unit that puts out 47 bhp and 52 Nm.
Royal Enfield's 650cc platform is experiencing a period of rapid expansion, promising a diverse range of motorcycles to cater to a wider range audience. The brand's initial foray into the mid-sized segment with the Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 was met with enthusiasm, and it appears Royal Enfield is keen to capitalise on this success. From classic cruisers to potential neo-retro offerings, the pipeline of upcoming models suggests an exciting future for the Indian motorcycle manufacturer.
Interestingly, all the models will use the familiar 648cc parallel-twin engine powering the Interceptor 650, Continental 650, Royal Enfield Shotgun 650, and Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650. It comes mated to a slick-shifting 6-speed gearbox. However the power might vary depending on the model.
Engine
647.95 ccRoyal Enfield Classic 650
One of the upcoming 650cc bikes from Royal Enfield will be the Classic 650, set to be the most affordable motorcycle in the manufacturer's lineup. The name of the motorcycle will be "Classic 650 Twin," as the manufacturer has filed a new nameplate trademark for it.
Previous spy shots have confirmed that the styling will be similar to the current Classic 350, but with larger dimensions due to its basis on the Shotgun 650's platform. To make the motorcycle more affordable, several changes have been made. For instance, it features telescopic forks at the front and twin shock absorbers at the rear.
The headlamp is the same LED unit found on newer Royal Enfield motorcycles. While it is not the brightest in the segment, many riders may opt for additional lighting solutions. The bike also includes a small cowl over the headlamp and halogen pilot lamps, similar to those on 350 cc models. The turn indicators are standard halogen units with orange lenses.
The exhaust is expected to resemble that of the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650, but with a chrome finish instead of a blacked-out look. The engine will also have chrome casings instead of black powder-coated ones. The fenders are likely shared with the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650, but the rear number plate housing and tail lamp will be different. The motorcycle is expected to run on spoked wheels, with alloy wheels available on higher variants or as an official accessory.
Royal Enfield Bullet 650
Royal Enfield is applying the same strategy it used for its 350cc motorcycles to its 650cc range by introducing multiple models. One such upcoming model is the Royal Enfield Bullet 650, which was recently spotted undergoing testing in Europe.
This model is expected to feature a single seat, a round pillion grab rail, and a boxy rear fender, all of which emphasise Royal Enfield's heritage design.
Royal Enfield Interceptor Bear 650
Another 650cc bike on the horizon from Royal Enfield is the Interceptor Bear 650. It will be based on the Interceptor 650 which might be the most popular 650 cc motorcycle in the brand's lineup. Expected to debut at the Motoverse event later this year, the Royal Enfield Interceptor Bear 650 will feature a redesigned chassis with longer travel suspension for enhanced off-road capability. Upside-down forks are likely to replace the standard telescopic units, potentially tuned by Showa for optimal performance.
According to the recent design patent leaks, the Royal Enfield Interceptor Bear 650 adopts a minimalist design with spoked wheels wrapped in dual-purpose tires, perfect for tackling various terrains. While retaining the Interceptor's LED headlamp, the Bear features unique turn indicators similar to the Himalayan 450, and a circular LED taillight.
