Spy bike

A new Royal Enfield bike has been spotted testing which appears to be a 650cc bike. It is most likely the new Classic 650 as it has a passenger seat. Also, compared to the Super Meteor and Shotgun 650, there are less premium bits on the bike. It doesn’t come with a USD telescopic front suspension, but rather an RSU telescopic unit. Overall, the design of the bike is similar to the Classic 350 except for the larger engine compartment. The exhaust on the spy bike is similar to the Shotgun 650, but is finished in chrome instead of being blacked out.

Specifications and features

The Royal Enfield Classic 650 comes with the same 648cc parallel twin engine that produces 46bhp and 52.3Nm of torque. We can expect a 6-speed manual gearbox on the Classic 650. Talking about other mechanical details, the wheels might also be reduced on the Classic 650. If we talk about its features, it might get a semi-digital instrument cluster, navigation tripper display and two-channel ABS.

Royal Enfield Classic 650 – Release Timeline

Royal Enfield recently unveiled the Shotgun 650 and is expected to announce the price this month. After that we could see a bike like Roadster or Bobber 350. There are also rumors that Scrambler 650 will come. Then we can expect Classic 650 to come most probably by late 2024 or early 2025.
