The test mule sighting frequency of Royal Enfield Interceptor 750 is increasing, suggesting a faster development process. This might be accelerated for a launch in 2025 or early 2026. The recent spy shots posted by gentlemenandmotorcycles show an Interceptor 750 test mule on public roads. Let’s take a closer look.
Royal Enfield INT 750
After captivating India’s 500cc+ motorcycle segment with a slew of 650cc motorcycles, Royal Enfield seems to be developing a new 750cc platform. There are multiple speculations and rumours suggesting the same. Fueling these speculations are new test mules that are donning a dual disc brake setup.
This dual disc brake setup beefs up braking power for front wheel and is likely to be in place to counteract the added performance. How much more performance is still unclear. Speculations suggest that this new 750cc engine is a big-bore version of current 650cc engine.
Royal Enfield has employed a similar strategy with Continental GT 535 which was a big-bore version of company’s 500cc mill employed in Classic 500. To counteract extra performance on Continental GT 535, Royal Enfield had offered Brembo brakes along with steel-braided lines from reservoir to callipers.
As seen in the spy shots, there are other changes with Interceptor 750 when compared to standard Interceptor 650. For starters, Interceptor 750 gets a new tail light setup at the rear. Both tail lights and turn indicators are round in shape, this time around. Also new is the alloy wheel design, with a split spoke appeal.
The main highlight, though, is a 5-inch circular TFT Tripper Dash instrument cluster that debuted with Himalayan 450. Recently, Royal Enfield Interceptor Bear 650 also got this display. It supports Google Maps and music control, among other features. Exhaust end cans look like they’re the same, but positioned slightly lower when compared to Interceptor 650.
Any other changes?
We don’t see any other changes with this motorcycle. Suspension is still the same RSU telescopic units at the front and dual shock absorbers at the rear without any piggyback reservoirs. Riding triangle looks more or less the same as current Interceptor 650 and it still holds the same retro charm as it did before.
The new 750cc parallel twin engine might generate around 55 bhp of peak power and 60 Nm of peak torque, mated to a slipper clutch and a 6-speed gearbox. For context, Interceptor 650 generates around 47 bhp and 52 Nm. Launch may happen by the end of 2025 or even early 2026.
