The last week was deprived of a major two-wheeler launch in Inda. But our news section still looked interesting owing to some interesting updates, like the introduction of spoke wheels for the KTM 390 Adventure and a more affordable Royal Enfield Interceptor being spied. In case you don’t recollect going through these stories, we bring you a round-up of the top five bike updates from the last week. 

Budget-friendly Royal Enfield Interceptor spied

A test mule of what looked like the cheaper iteration of the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 was spied testing. Only rear end of the bike was visible and it clearly resembled that of the Interceptor. The only visible difference was the presence of a single exhaust, instead of dual canister like that on the Interceptor 650, and this is perhaps connected to RE’s new 350cc engine. Not much is known about this bike yet but we might hear something about it in the near future.
