      Royal Enfield Electric Bike to Get Vibration Module and Fake Exhaust – To Keep ‘Dug Dug’ Fans Happy

      by

      Royal Enfield Electric Bike RenderApril 1, 2025 – In a move that has left the internet both confused and in splits, Royal Enfield has reportedly decided to fit its upcoming electric motorcycle, the Flying Flea, with an artificial vibration module and a digital exhaust system to replicate the iconic “dug dug” thump. The reason? To ensure it still feels like a real Royal Enfield.
      After showcasing the Flying Flea — a light, silent, retro-inspired electric bike — RE purists were left clutching their helmets, wondering where the trademark vibrations had gone. With the absence of a heavy clutch, loud exhaust, and a chassis that tries to shake your bones loose, many said they “couldn’t recognise it as a Royal Enfield.”
      According to highly unreliable sources close to the brand, Royal Enfield engineers have now been tasked with adding two key “heritage restoration” elements to the Flying Flea:
      1. The Dug-Dug Emulator (DDE): A Bluetooth-powered exhaust speaker that plays a loop of Royal Enfield’s classic thump — complete with gear shifts, false neutrals, and the occasional backfire.
      2. VibeBoost 650 Module™: A handlebar and footpeg-mounted vibration motor that mimics the exact tremors of a Cast Iron Bullet on idle. Riders will have the option to select modes — “Mild Massage”, “Classic Shaker”, and “Full-On Bullet”.
      A prototype was apparently tested on a loyal fan who claimed, “I didn’t even realise it was electric until I reached home and saw I hadn’t spilled engine oil in the parking.”
      Industry experts are calling this “the most Royal Enfield thing ever” — bringing modern technology only to simulate the past.
      Meanwhile, other motorcycle manufacturers are reportedly looking into similar “heritage add-ons”, including oil-leak simulators and kick-start-only variants to appeal to nostalgic buyers.
      When contacted, Royal Enfield didn’t confirm or deny the development, but a spokesperson smiled and said, “Stay thumpy, my friends.”

      Royal Enfield 650cc Bike Prices Compared – Twins, Classic, Bear, Shotgun, Super Meteor

      by

      Royal Enfield Classic 650 ColoursStarting with the launch of 650 twins in 2018, Royal Enfield’s 650cc portfolio has now expanded to include a total of 6 bikes
      Royal Enfield dominates the 500cc+ segment with market share of more than 90%. It’s made possible with the brand’s robust, affordably priced motorcycles and a diverse range of models to choose from. To better understand the available options, let’s compare Royal Enfield’s 650cc range from a price perspective.
      Royal Enfield 650 Twins
      Royal Enfield 650 twins – Interceptor 650, Continental GT 650
      These continue to be the most affordable and the highest selling 650cc bikes from Royal Enfield. The Interceptor 650 is available in the price range of Rs 3.03 lakh to Rs 3.31 lakh. In comparison, the Continental GT 650 is priced in the range of Rs 3.19 lakh to Rs 3.45 lakh. In the 500cc+ motorcycle segment, the 650 twins have the majority market share. Sales in February 2025 were at 2,882 units, commanding a market share of 60.94%. YoY growth was an impressive 39.23%, as compared to 2,070 units sold in February last year.
      Royal Enfield Classic 650 Vallam Red
      Classic 650
      This was launched recently at a starting price of Rs 3.37 lakh. Top variant is available at Rs 3.50 lakh. While being aesthetically similar to the 350cc Classic, the 650cc Classic has larger dimensions. A total of four colour variants are on offer – Vallam Red (Rs 3.37 lakh), Bruntingthorpe Blue (Rs 3.37 lakh), Teal (Rs 3.41 lakh) and Black Chrome (Rs 3.50 lakh). Among the 650cc bikes from Royal Enfield, the Classic 650 is the heaviest at 243 kg.
      Royal Enfield 650cc Bike Prices Compared
      It will be interesting to see if Classic 650 can achieve the same level of popularity as the Classic 350. In the 650cc segment, the newly launched Classic 650 has potential to emerge a bestseller. While the 650 twins may continue to retain the top position, Classic 650 can potentially race ahead of the Super Meteor 650.
      Royal Enfield INT Bear 650
      Interceptor Bear 650
      Launched in November 2024, Royal Enfield Bear 650 is available in the price range of Rs 3.39 lakh to Rs 3.59 lakh. It is essentially a scrambler-style motorcycle, derived from the Interceptor 650. It has enhanced off-roading capability with high ground clearance of 184 mm and wheel combo of 19-inch front and 17-inch rear. A total of five variants are on offer – Boardwalk White (Rs 3.39 lakh), Petrol Green (Rs 3.44 lakh), Wild Honey (Rs 3.44 lakh), Golden Shadow (Rs 3.51 lakh) and Two Four Nine (Rs 3.59 lakh).

      by

      Royal Enfield Classic 650 LaunchRoyal Enfield unveiled Classic 650 Twin for the first time last year at the EICMA Show 2024. The company just launched Classic 650 for a starting price of Rs 3.37 lakh (Ex-sh). It looks almost similar to its best-seller Classic 350, but is proportionately larger, befitting its displacement class and price segment.
      Royal Enfield Classic 650 Launch
      With the launch of 650 Twins (Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650), Royal Enfield opened their account in the multi-cylinder motorcycle portal. Since then, Royal Enfield has steadily expanded their 650cc lineup to incorporate Super Meteor 650, Shotgun 650 and Interceptor Beat 650.
      Royal Enfield Classic 650 Colours
      Now, the latest 650cc bike from Royal Enfield is Classic 650 and it packs the potential to be the best-selling 500cc+ motorcycle. If Classic 350’s sales is anything to go by, we can expect Classic 650 to make a major impact in the middle-weight segment. The colour palette for Classic 650 include Vallam Red (Rs 3.37L), Bruntingthorpe Blue (Rs 3.37L), Teal (3.41L) and Black Chrome (Rs 3.5L) (all prices Ex-sh).
      Royal Enfield Classic 650 Black Chrome
      For many, Classic 650 is a stepping stone from Royal Enfield’s own 350cc motorcycle. Most probably, the Classic 350. Where design is concerned, Classic 650 looks very similar to Classic 350, only larger. It is a good thing as this Classic design has stood the test of time and is hard to shake off from being relevant for years to come.
      Royal Enfield Classic 650 Teal
      Classic design FTW?
      We get the Classic teardrop shape fuel tank, round ORVMs, round LED headlights, retro mud guards at both ends, front fork covers, large analog-digital instrument cluster with Tripper screen and it shares its main frame, sub frame and swingarm with Super Meteor 650. All this metal ensures that kerb weight is 243 kg, making Classic 650 the heaviest Royal Enfield yet.
      Royal Enfield Classic 650 Vallam Red
      This motorcycle rides on 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheels and gets RSU telescopic front forks and twin shock absorbers at the rear. There are disc brakes on both ends and we get dual-channel ABS as standard. We can expect Classic 650 to offer a relaxed ergonomics and comfortable ride.
      Royal Enfield Classic 650 Bruntingthorpe Blue
      Powertrain-wise we get the familiar 648cc parallel twin oil-cooled engine that is capable of generating 46.4 bhp of peak power and 52.3 Nm of peak torque. This engine is mated to a slip and assist clutch along with a 6-speed gearbox. Bearing the Classic tag, we can expect it to have cushy suspension and a pliant ride.
      Royal Enfield Classic 650 Elegant Design
      Statement from Royal Enfield
      Speaking about the launch of the Classic 650, B Govindarajan, Managing Director, Eicher Motors Limited and CEO, Royal Enfield, said, “The Classic 650 is more than just a motorcycle – it’s a tribute to our rich legacy, where timeless design meets effortless performance. It carries forward the spirit of Royal Enfield, blending craftsmanship with an unshakable bond between rider and machine.
      Royal Enfield Classic 650
      Built on our proven 650cc parallel twin platform, it offers a perfect blend of refinement, capability and powerful road presence, making it an even more aspirational choice for those who love the Classic’s DNA, seeking more power and versatility. With the Classic 650, we are not just building motorcycles; we are preserving the essence of pure motorcycling for generations to come. We’re thrilled to bring this iconic machine to India, and I am confident that it will be embraced with the same passion that defines our riding community.” More

      Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Peix Bronze Colour Launch Price Rs 2.49 L

      by

      Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 New Peix Bronze ColourExpanding the colour palette of Guerrilla 450, Royal Enfield has just introduced Peix Bronze colourway with the mid-spec Dash variant. The company has not increased prices of Dash variant with this new colour, maintaining the Rs 2.49 lakh (Ex-sh) price tag. Let’s take a look at the new colour.
      Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Peix Bronze
      The premium single-cylinder motorcycle segment is getting overtly popular in the recent past. With more buyers foraying into this segment, there is a rush among OEMs to launch the best products here. Among these OEMs is Royal Enfield, which is launching a new Peix Bronze colour for Guerrilla 450’s mid-spec Dash variant.
      Guerrilla 450 Peix Bronze and Smoke Silver
      Royal Enfield first showcased Peix Bronze shade on Guerrilla 450 at 2024 Motoverse show in Goa and is launched today. Along with the launch of Peix Bronze shade, Royal Enfield is offering Smoke Silver colourway with Dash variant. This colourway used to be exclusive to base Analogue variant, which is now also part of Dash variant, based on customer demands.
      Where design is concerned, Guerrilla 450 is a lot more appealing to look at, when compared to Himalayan 450. Owing to its roadster design, it is aimed to appeal a wider audience base, which doesn’t seem to be the case as reflected by sales charts. Royal Enfield sold just 349 of Guerrilla 450 last month and the new colours are expected to boost sales.
      Guerrilla 450 New Peix Bronze
      Round LED headlights, round Tripper Dash (on mid and top variants), round ORVMs, LED tail lights integrated into the turn indicators, classic fuel tank design, fork gaiters, a clean tail section flaunting the fat 160-section tyre, swanky alloy wheels, soothing body panels, blackened engine bay, stubby exhaust finished in silver, stylish dual tone colours are notable elements.
      Engine Specs
      Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 shares the same 452cc DOHC 4V liquid-cooled Sherpa 450 engine as its ADV sibling, Himalayan 450. Because it has shed some weight, the 40 bhp and 40 Nm metrics offer brisker performance when compared to Himalayan 450. Better acceleration, braking and higher top speed are evident.
      New Peix Bronze Colour
      Componentry-wise, Guerrilla 450 offers RSU telescopic front forks, a rear mono-shock suspension unit, fat 160-section rear tyre and disc brakes at both ends with dual channel ABS are notable. Features include ride-by-wire throttle, a slipper clutch, a 6-speed gearbox, Google Maps, music control and others. More

      Royal Enfield Scram 440 Vs Harley X440 – Specs, Features Compared

      by

      Scram 440 Vs Harley X440With Himalayan 450 replacing the Himalayan 411, this 411cc LS engine was limited to Scram 411, which is now updated to displace 440cc and gets a 6-speed gearbox. Royal Enfield has invested in updating this powertrain which only one motorcycle has benefited from, which is unlike RE’s strategies in the recent past.
      Royal Enfield is offering the LS engine with its torquey nature, while the new Sherpa 450 engine offers thrilling performance. Also, Scram 440 is now a more fitting rival to other 440cc motorcycles in the premium motorcycle segment from legacy brands like Harley-Davidson X440. Let’s take a look at how these motorcycles fare against each other.
      New Royal Enfield Scram 440
      Scram 440 Vs Harley X440
      Starting with price, Royal Enfield has priced the Scram 440 from Rs 2.08 lakh (Ex-sh) for Trail variant and Rs 2.15 lakh (Ex-sh) for Force variant. In contrast, Harley-Davidson has priced X440 from Rs 2.39 lakh (Ex-sh) for base Denim variant and goes till Rs 2.79 lakh (Ex-sh) for S variant. X440 offers quite a lot more even from the base variant, while some of the notable features of Scram 440 are optional extras.
      Powertrains-wise, both motorcycles get a single-cylinder SOHC oil-cooled engine, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Both engines are of long-stroke type, prioritising low-end torque for ease of ride. X440 is more powerful and more torquey and develops its peak power at lower RPMs when compared to that of Scram 440.
      Scram 440 Vs Harley X440 – Specs & Features Compared
      Where design is concerned, Scram 440 is a Scrambler-style motorcycle as the name suggests. X440, on the other hand, is a Roadster style bike. Scram 440 has more off-road prowess with higher ground clearance, larger 19-inch front wheel and higher suspension travel. X440 has 18-inch front wheel, which is only one inch smaller than that of Scram’s. Royal Enfield is offering 1,460 mm wheelbase with Scram 440, making it a more relaxed off-roader.
      Specs & Features Compared
      Both motorcycles offer wire-spoke wheels with tube-type tyres in their lower variants. Notably, Scram 440 gets skinny 120-section rear tyres and X440 offers 140-section tyres. Scram 440 has a larger fuel tank at 15L, which is 1.5L more than X440’s. With a kerb weight of 196 kg, Scram 440 is also heavier, whereas X440 tips the scale at 190.5 kg.
      Harley-Davidson X440
      The lower weight and higher performance metrics give Harley-Davidson X440 the advantage in power-to-weight ratio. Also, the X440 platform is surprisingly agile and responds well to corners and feels very light on its feet, masking its 190.5 kg kerb weight quite beautifully. The main contributor in this regard might be the USD front forks X440 offers as standard, while Scram 440 doesn’t, even as an option. X440 gets twin shock absorbers at the rear.
      Royal Enfield’s Tripper Screen with Google Maps is an optional add-on, and a semi-digital instrument cluster is offered as standard. In contrast, X440 offers a 3.5-inch colour TFT instrument cluster as standard, while the top-spec S trim offers Bluetooth connection with navigation support and music controls. Lighting is all LED with X440, whereas turn indicators are still Halogen units on Scram 440. Both motorcycles offer disc brakes at both ends with dual channel ABS. More
