The upcoming Royal Enfield Classic 650 was recently spotted in an undisguised production version in a foreign country. This will be RE’s next big product launch in India, but its launch date and details are yet to be announced. Painted in a dual-tone maroon and cream/off-white colour scheme, the speckled model appears to share most of its design elements with the RE Classic 350. It sports retro styling with round LED headlights, curved fenders, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank and triangular side panels, which are borrowed from its younger sibling.
The motorcycle also features wide handlebars, a split seat, mid-mounted footrests and a round LED taillight. It supports a tubular steel frame along with conventional telescopic forks and twin shock absorbers (likely to be preload adjustable). The RE Classic 650 pictured here is fitted with wire-spoke rims with tube-mounted wheels. Higher-end models are likely to feature alloy wheels with tubeless design. The motorcycle’s stopping power will come from front and rear disc brakes, which will be further enhanced by dual-channel ABS.
Talking about features, the RE Classic 650 is likely to get Tripper Navigation as a part of the MIY (Make It Yours) customization program.
In terms of power, the new Royal Enfield Classic 650 will use a 648cc parallel twin-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 47PS and a torque of 52.3Nm. It uses an air-cooled/oil-cooled engine like other RE 650 motorcycles. The transmission system is completed by a 6-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch.
The upcoming Classic 650 will be one of the most affordable 650cc REs in India. Its estimated price is around Rs 5.3 lakh (ex-showroom).
