      Royal Enfield 750cc Faired Motorcycle SpiedUpcoming Royal Enfield Faired Motorcycle Spotted: A New Chapter in Performance and Design with Potential 750cc Engine
      Royal Enfield continues to captivate motorcycle enthusiasts with exciting developments in its mid-capacity range. The latest spy shots of a new faired motorcycle, likely based on the Continental GT 650, bring fresh intrigue as the brand explores expanding its offerings. Adding to the excitement, this is likely the first Royal Enfield which will be powered by a larger 750cc engine.
      Royal Enfield 750cc Faired Motorcycle Spied
      Latest spy shots are credited to automotive enthusiasts Daniel M and Matthews, who managed to spot this new motorcycle in Chennai. This new motorcycle, which could be positioned as a sportier iteration of the Continental GT 650, features several key updates.
      Royal Enfield 750cc Faired Motorcycle Spied
      The most noticeable change is the fairing, which is more substantial and extends lower than the bikini fairing seen on earlier test mules. This new design not only adds visual appeal but also hints at improved aerodynamics and potential touring capabilities. The fairing integrates turn indicators, and the front continues to sport the signature circular LED headlight, maintaining the brand’s classic aesthetic.
      The test bike is equipped with sporty clip-on handlebars that promise a committed, cafe racer riding position. The longer seat design indicates an added focus on rider and pillion comfort for extended rides. Alloy wheels, a black exhaust, and tubeless tyres further enhance the bike’s modern appearance and performance attributes.

      The dual front disc setup is also visible, which could mean improved braking efficiency and a move towards enhanced safety. The presence of a concealed digital display unit inside the fairing points to a sleeker cockpit design.

      Potential Upgrade: 750cc Engine Development
      One of the most exciting developments is the potential introduction of a 750cc parallel-twin engine. It has been rumoured since a few years now that Royal Enfield has been working on increasing the displacement of its existing 650cc engine to 750cc. This new powertrain is expected to deliver more power than the current 46 bhp output, providing an even more thrilling ride.
      Royal Enfield 750cc Faired Motorcycle Spied
      The latest Royal Enfield motorcycle spied here, is carrying a new engine casing, which is likely to be the 750cc and not the 650cc on offer currently. This test mule features dual front brake discs—a first for Royal Enfield—indicating that the brand may be exploring component testing to match the increased power of the 750cc engine.
      Royal Enfield 750cc Faired Motorcycle Spied
      A Broader 650cc and 750cc Lineup
      This new faired model will join Royal Enfield’s robust 650cc lineup, which includes the Continental GT 650, Interceptor 650, Super Meteor 650, Shotgun 650, Bear 650, and the recently showcased Classic 650. If the faired model receives the new 750cc engine, it would set a new benchmark for performance in Royal Enfield’s portfolio. The current 650cc twin engine is already celebrated for its refinement, smooth NVH levels, and torque-rich delivery, and the larger 750cc variant is expected to enhance these attributes further.

      Royal Enfield Classic 650 Unveiled – 243 kg, 46.3 bhp, 52.3 Nm

      by

      Royal Enfield Classic 650 UnveiledWith the new Classic 650, Royal Enfield has unveiled their 6th 650cc motorcycle with more offerings to come in the future
      Ever since the launch of Interceptor 650 and GT Continental 650, Royal Enfield has held the 500cc+ motorcycle segment tightly in its grasp with around 85% to 90% market share. Super Meteor 650 and Shotgun 650 further added to the sales. Now, Royal Enfield has launched Interceptor Bear 650 and unveiled Classic 650 to further broaden the horizon.
      The new Classic 650 is expected to single-handedly dominate the company’s 650cc portfolio like Classic 350 has done with the 350cc portfolio. The timeless design with retro charm and raw beauty is the primary strength of Classic 650. Launch is likely to happen soon and pricing will be lower than that of Super Meteor 650 and Shotgun 650.
      Royal Enfield Classic 650 Unveiled
      Royal Enfield Classic 650 Unveiled
      With Classic 650, Royal Enfield aims to provide Classic 350 owners a worthy upgrade, while still offering the same design. This is an incredible feat to achieve and Royal Enfield has done it beautifully. Classic 650 looks exactly like Classic 350, but the timeless design has been proportionally ported over to the larger size.
      At passing glance, Classic 650 looks like a Classic 350. But that’s deliberate as the design is what sells the Classic brand and has turned Royal Enfield’s fortunes around. From the looks of it, Classic 650 might very well be one of the prettiest middle-weight retro motorcycles on sale in the world. It weighs 243 kg, though.
      Classic 650 Unveiled
      Unlike the just launched Interceptor Bear 650, Classic 650 is based on the same chassis as Super Meteor 650 and Shotgun 650. While those two motorcycles pack in more premium componentry like USD Telescopic front forks, Classic 650 stays relatively simpler in terms of components with 43mm RSU telescopic front forks.
      Classic 650 Unveiled
      Rear suspension is taken care of by twin shock absorbers. Instrument cluster of Classic 650 is similar to Classic 350 and gets a Tripper Screen as standard that supports Bluetooth connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation. The exhaust setup is similar to Super Meteor 650 and Shotgun 650 with two tail pipes.
      Classic 650 Unveiled
      Specs and Features
      Classic 650 has LED headlights with a visor, LED tail lights and LED turn indicators. There are single tone and dual tone colours including chrome finishes. Braking setup is handled by single discs at both ends with dual-channel ABS as standard. There are single seater and pillion seat options for buyers to choose from.
      Classic 650 Unveiled
      Powertrain is the same 648cc parallel-twin oil-cooled motor that offers relaxed touring with sufficient torque reserves for quick overtakes. Performance metrics include 46.3 bhp of peak power and 52.3 Nm of peak torque, mated to a slipper clutch and a 6-speed gearbox. India launch is expected soon. More

      Royal Enfield Interceptor Bear 650 Debuts – 5 New Colours, Launch Soon?

      by

      Royal Enfield Interceptor Bear 650 DebutsInterceptor Bear 650 is the first scrambler-style motorcycle based on Royal Enfield’s 650cc platform and may be the lightest
      With 650 Twins, Royal Enfield rewrote the rule books of multi-cylinder large-displacement engine-equipped motorcycles. Starting from Interceptor 650 and GT Continental 650, Royal Enfield has significantly expanded its 650 portfolio. Newest addition to this lineup is a Scrambler based on Interceptor 650 which has just made its global debut.
      Interceptor Bear 650 Debuts
      Royal Enfield, the iconic motorcycle manufacturer, has emerged as India’s de facto classic and retro mobility solutions provider. This behemoth has been dominating two lucrative segments in India – 350cc to 450cc segment and 500cc+ segment. With little to no traction from rivals, Royal Enfield has soldiered on to the top.
      Interceptor Bear 650
      Their latest offering is a Scrambler style motorcycle based on Interceptor 650. Called Royal Enfield Interceptor Bear 650, the name symbolises Eddie Mulder’s historic win at Big Bear Run of 1960. The latest teaser by Royal Enfield was voiced by Eddie Mulder, also a renowned racer, stuntman and bike builder.
      When compared to Interceptor 650 it is based on, the new Scrambler is a lot more appealing. For starters, there are 5 new colours to choose from, as seen in the image below. The launch colour is based on a bright yellow shade, complemented by white and black elements, for a sporty vibe. Some colourways get painted mainframe and subframes.
      Interceptor Bear 650 Colours
      Overall silhouette is almost identical to Interceptor 650 it is based on. Which is not a bad thing in our opinion. Side body panels now get a round element. Headlights are LEDs and so are the tail lights and turn indicators. The single-piece seat seems to be slightly raised, for that Scrambler look.
      Front suspension has gotten an upgrade to USD telescopic forks as opposed to RSU telescopic forks on Interceptor 650. These USD forks are from Showa and should allow for sportier handling. Rear suspension is still handled by a twin-shock setup on Interceptor Bear 650, but it might be tuned differently.
      Interceptor Bear 650 Tripper Dash
      What are the changes?
      Also upgraded is the instrumentation where we can now see a TFT Tripper Dash that supports music control and Google Maps. The main highlights of Interceptor Bear 650 are the new tyres which could be Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR and the new single exhaust setup. This exhaust is slightly upswept and might make Interceptor Bear 650 the lightest RE 650cc bike.
      It will be powered by the same 648cc parallel twin engine as other RE650 offerings. This engine will churn out around 46 bhp of peak power and 56.5 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Price-wise, we can expect a starting price of around Rs 3.5 lakh – 3.6 lakh (Ex-sh).

      2025 Royal Enfield Bear 650
      When the first set of Royal Enfield’s 650cc scrambler leaked on the internet, it created a commotion among the motorcycle fraternity across the world. This is a lightweight and off-road-oriented version of Interceptor 650 and it gets a lot of upgraded features and components over it.
      Royal Enfield Bear 650 Officially Teased
      Interceptor 650 has been loved by many, owing to its simplicity and retro charm. Now, enthusiasts get to see a wild side of it. As seen in the teasers, Royal Enfield has confirmed the name of its upcoming Scrambler. Initially, speculations suggested it would be called Scram 650 and then we saw Interceptor Bear 650 being trademarked in India.
      Royal Enfield Bear 650
      Putting a full stop to speculations, Royal Enfield has chosen to call it Bear 650. Keeping it in line with the company’s recent naming trends. First we got a Gorilla-inspired name and now we get a Bear. Where design is concerned, Royal Enfield has kept it simple and close to the Interceptor 650 it is based on.
      [embedded content]
      The main difference we can see are the USD telescopic front forks finished in a lovely Gold shade. Thus Bear 650 becomes the first offering based on this chassis to get USD forks. Rear is still twin-shock setup and upcoming Himalayan 650 will be the first 650cc Royal Enfield to get rear mono-shock setup.
      Royal Enfield Bear 650
      We can see single-tone and dual-tone colours with Royal Enfield Bear 650, as seen in the teaser. Bear 650 gets a single exhaust setup, which will contribute to weight reduction. Another notable element on this motorcycle is the addition of the 5-inch Tripper Dash which gets features like Google Maps and music controls.

      In Gut We Trust
      The teaser signifies changing landscapes from the city to the deserts. Indicating that Royal Enfield is pitting this motorcycle as a getaway vehicle to have some fun off-road to escape the mundane 9-5 routines. Notably, this teaser was voiced by renowned motorcycle racer, stuntman and bike builder, Eddie Mulder.
      Royal Enfield Bear 650
      Royal Enfield Bear 650 will be powered by the same 648cc parallel-twin oil-cooled engine that is capable of generating 47 bhp and 52 Nm, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. In the teaser, this motorcycle seems to have reworked exhaust noise and sounded a lot like an American V-Twin. More details will be revealed soon and launch is likely to happen in 2025.

      2025 RE Interceptor 650 Spied With Updated Components, Features

      by

      2025 RE Interceptor 650 Spied
      With the updated 2025 RE Interceptor 650, the company is fortifying its leading position in the 500cc+ motorcycle segment in India
      Ever since its launch, Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 has been one of the most popular offerings in India. This is India’s most affordable multi-cylinder offering and is a major draw for buyers looking to upgrade from their single-cylinder bike. Interceptor 650 is now getting a major update and could launch in 2025.
      2025 RE Interceptor 650 Spied
      The 500cc+ motorcycle segment was a slow-selling one with very little action, owing to the high price point of these offerings. However, Royal Enfield saw an opportunity and has grasped the segment with its 650cc platform. Among the upcoming offerings are Classic 650, Bullet 650, Scram 650 (Interceptor Bear 650) and Himalayan 650.
      2025 RE Interceptor 650 Spied
      But a new 650cc motorcycle has been spied that bears significant updates to its components and could be the next best thing in 500cc+ motorcycle segment. We’re talking about the 2025 RE Interceptor 650 which has been equipped with serious kit, transforming its “affordable” appeal into something more.
      As seen in the spy shots, we can see 2025 Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 in all its glory. Overall silhouette remains similar to the current model. We can see the same teardrop-shaped fuel tank, identical mainframe and subframe, the same single-piece seat along with lighting elements.
      Updated Interceptor 650
      Where the biggest change arises, is in features and componentry. For starters, we now get upgraded braking equipment with 2025 Interceptor 650. Front gets dual disc setup as opposed to current model’s single disc setup. The last motorcycle from a major brand that offered dual disc setup under Rs 4 lakh was Benelli 302 R.
      Another major change we can notice from this particular test mule is that it gets a single-pod instrument cluster, replacing the twin-pod analog-digital unit on current model.? This particular instrument cluster might be the same 5-inch circular TFT unit that debuted with Himalayan 450 that supports music controls and Google Maps.
      Updated Interceptor 650
      What to expect?
      The same instrument cluster is also spied with with the Scrambler version of Interceptor 650, likely to be called Interceptor Bear 650. Unlike its Scrambler sibling, 2025 RE Interceptor 650 continues with twin exhaust setup and might feature an updated suspension setup for better driving dynamics.
      This test mule also donned alloy wheels and LED headlights. It will retain the same 648cc parallel twin oil-cooled motor that is capable of churning out 47 bhp of peak power and 52 Nm of peak torque, mated to a slipper clutch and a 6-speed gearbox. Launch is likely to happen in 2025.

      Royal Enfield Bear 650 Scrambler Spied – Yellow and White Dual Tone Colour

      by

      Royal Enfield Bear 650 ScramblerUpcoming Royal Enfield Interceptor Bear 650 Scram will have multiple distinctive features in comparison to RE’s existing 650cc bikes
      Royal Enfield is working on several new bikes across the 350cc, 450cc and 650cc segments. In the 650cc space, one of the most anticipated motorcycle launches is a new scrambler model. It will go on sale as the Interceptor Bear 650. The name was registered last year in 2023.
      Royal Enfield Interceptor Bear 650 Scram – Styling and features
      Test mules have been spotted frequently in recent months, indicating that the bike will be launched soon. Now, a fully undisguised, production-ready version has leaked online – donning dual tone paint scheme of yellow and white with black stripes on the fuel tank and blue coloured seat.
      Royal Enfield Bear 650 Scrambler
      A quick glance reveals that the new scrambler bike has the DNA of Interceptor 650. Some of the borrowed equipment includes the fuel tank and the tubular steel chassis. However, as the Interceptor Bear 650 will have relatively better off-roading capabilities, it gets a more robust suspension setup.
      One of the key differences is longer suspension travel, as compared to other 650cc bikes from Royal Enfield. Interceptor Bear 650 gets USD forks at front and dual rear shock absorbers. In comparison, the existing Interceptor 650 has telescopic front forks. The dual rear shock absorbers seem common, but the Bear 650 has a new spring/damper unit. It does not get the gas reservoirs in use with existing Interceptor 650.
      Royal Enfield Scrambler 650 Interceptor Bear Spied
      Interceptor Bear 650 is likely to be offered with 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels. These are shod with knobby profiled dual-purpose tubeless tyres. With a new suspension setup and tyres, it appears that Interceptor Bear 650 will have better off-roading capabilities. It should be able to handle mild off-road tracks with ease.
      New equipment
      Talking about some of the unique aspects of Interceptor Bear 650, the bike has a two-into-one exhaust setup. The perforated heat shield is functionally relevant and also enhances the bike’s rugged character. The merged exhaust setup is a first for a Royal Enfield bike. It will ensure an agile performance across both urban roads and off-road tracks. With the new exhaust, the bike will be lighter, which in turn will increase its power to weight ratio.
      Another feature that adds more dynamism is the oval, race-style number boards. Other key highlights of Interceptor Bear 650 include circular headlamp, all-LED lighting, circular rear-view mirrors, braced handlebar, tear-drop shaped fuel tank, new mudguards and an upswept exhaust. Overall, Royal Enfield Interceptor Bear 650 looks attractive with its minimalistic, neo-retro aesthetics. Tech kit will include a circular TFT instrument screen. Something similar to that of Himalayan 450 and Guerrilla 450. With the Royal Enfield app, users will be able to access various connected features including full map navigation.
      Royal Enfield Interceptor Bear 650 – Performance
      Engine will be the same as other 650cc Royal Enfield bikes. The 648cc, inline twin cylinder, 4-stroke, SOHC unit churns out 47 PS and 52.3 Nm. It is offered with a 6-speed gearbox. Overall ride dynamics could be relatively better, owing to the bike’s lightweight profile and distinct ergonomics. Debut is likely to take place at the EICMA 2024 next month.
