Royal Enfield Classic 650 Launched in India

Royal Enfield has introduced the Classic 650 Twin in India, with prices starting at INR 3.37 lakh (ex-showroom).

This marks the brand's sixth 650cc motorcycle, joining the Interceptor 650, Continental GT 650, Super Meteor 650, Shotgun 650, and Bear 650. The Classic 650 is available in three variants: Hotrod, Classic, and Chrome.

The design of the Classic 650 draws inspiration from the highly popular Classic 350, featuring a round headlamp with position lights and similarly styled turn signals. It also showcases a teardrop-shaped fuel tank and a larger analog instrument cluster, including a tripper meter. To enhance its aesthetics, the bike is equipped with wire-spoke wheels, featuring a 19-inch front wheel and an 18-inch rear wheel.

The Classic 650 Twin shares its main frame, sub-frame, and swingarm with the Shotgun 650 model. The front is supported by 43mm telescopic Showa forks, while the rear is equipped with dual shock absorbers. Braking is handled by disc brakes on both ends, with standard dual-channel ABS for added safety.

Powering the Classic 650 is the proven 648cc parallel-twin, air/oil-cooled engine, which delivers 46.3bhp and 52.3Nm of torque. It is paired with a six-speed gearbox featuring a slipper clutch.  In terms of features, the Classic 650 comes with an LED headlamp and tail lamp, adjustable levers, a USB Type-C charging port, Tripper Navigation, and dual-channel ABS.
