Royal Enfield is gearing up to launch the much-anticipated Bear 650 on November 5, 2024, at the EICMA Trade Show in Milan, Italy. Following its recent debut, the Bear 650, which is inspired by the Interceptor 650, boasts a distinctive scrambler design and character.
Although the Bear 650 retains the reliable parallel-twin engine from the Interceptor 650, it distinguishes itself with enhanced features, a refreshed design, and upgraded components. This new model is expected to be priced between Rs 3.50 lakh to Rs 3.80 lakh (ex-showroom). To justify this premium, the Bear 650 comes equipped with a 4.0-inch circular single pod TFT dash, similar to the one found on the Himalayan, offering connectivity options and navigation. Additionally, it features improved switchgear for better functionality.
The Bear 650 also boasts a Showa USD fork at the front, with the Golden Shadow variant receiving a striking golden finish. At the rear, the motorcycle is fitted with twin shocks. For more details on the differences between the Bear 650 and the Interceptor 650, click here.
Buyers will have a choice of five vibrant color options: Two Four Nine (white with a chequered flag), Golden Shadow (black and silver), Wild Honey (yellow and white), Petrol Green, and Boardwalk White.
Powered by a 648cc air/oil-cooled parallel-twin engine, the Bear 650 offers a slight increase in torque. The engine delivers a peak power output of 47 bhp at 7,240 rpm and peak torque of 56.5 Nm at 5,150 rpm, which is 4.2 Nm more than the Interceptor. This powerplant is paired with a six-speed gearbox.
