Royal Enfield has started deliveries of its latest 650 model, the Bear 650, to customers across the country. The scrambler model of the Interceptor 650 was launched last month. It’s available in five different paint options: Broadwalk White, Petrol Green, Wild Honey, Gold Shadow and Two-Four-Nine. Prices for the Bear 650 Broadwalk White variant start at Rs 3.39 lakh, while petrol green and wild honey color variants start at Rs 3.44 lakh. The Golden Shadow version is priced at Rs 3.51 lakh, while the most expensive “249” colorway is priced at Rs 3.59 lakh. All prices are ex-showroom.
In the spirit of classic scramblers from the 1960s and 1970s, the Bear 650 features a minimalist design focused on practicality and performance. It resembles a rugged, terrain-adapting variant of the RE Interceptor 650, stripped to its essentials for minimalist appeal. Design elements include large tires with open square treads, a contoured spoiler seat and a raised rear hoop.
