Royal Enfield has launched the Bear 650 in India and it is priced at Rs. 3.39 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) onwards. The Bear 650 is based on the existing Interceptor 650 but is a more off-road capable motorcycle and Royal Enfield’s middleweight scrambler offering.
As seen in these images, it borrows certain design elements from the Interceptor 650 but is slightly more modern as well. The Bear 650 gets all LED illumination and appears to borrow the turn indicators from the recently launched 450s. Further, it gets a slightly revised seat as well. Then, other elements like a braced handlebar and a revised tail section are also seen on the Bear 650.
Similar to the Interceptor, the Bear 650 also gets a 650cc parallel-twin engine that makes 47bhp. But its torque is up by 5Nm and the Bear gets 57Nm. The engine is linked to a six-speed gearbox.
On the hardware front, the Bear 650 sports long-travel USD front forks and conventional rear springs. Its braking hardware comprises a single front and rear disc with dual-channel ABS, mounted on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear spoke wheels wrapped in MRF’s Nylorex tyres. The Bear 650 also gets a single pod console with a TFT setup along with LED illumination. It is smartphone-compatible and offers navigation too.
Royal Enfield is offering the Bear 650 in five different colours - Broadwalk White, Petrol Green, White Honey, Golden Shadow, Two Four Nine.
