New Delhi: Royal Enfield, a company that has a special identity in the world of motorcycles, has once again given good news to its fans. After a long wait and countless speculations, the company has launched its much-awaited bike—Royal Enfield Classic 650—in the Indian market. This bike not only carries forward the legacy of classic design, but also sets new standards with modern technology and powerful performance. Let’s take a look at the price, features and features of this bike.

Powerful engine and performance

The Royal Enfield Classic 650 is powered by a 648 cc air and oil-cooled parallel twin engine, which is a proven part of the company’s 650 cc platform. This engine produces 47 horsepower (hp) of power and 52 Newton meters (Nm) of torque. The special thing about this is that this engine has already proven its capability in models like Interceptor 650, Super Meteor 650 and Shotgun 650. For a smooth and comfortable riding experience, it is also equipped with a 6-speed gearbox with slip-and-assist clutch.

A Royal Enfield engineer said, “This engine has been tested again and again on various roads – whether it is the narrow streets of the city or the open roads of the highway. It is a great combination of power and balance.” While the engine of Classic 350 is known for its simplicity and mileage of 35 km per liter, Classic 650 is capable of giving a mileage of 21-22 km per liter with its double performance. Although the mileage has decreased, it is natural considering the power of its 650 cc engine.

The charm of Classic in design

The Classic 650 retains the design heritage of its younger brother Classic 350. It has a round headlamp, teardrop shaped fuel tank, chrome finished twin exhaust and retro style indicators. But its big frame and muscular look give it a distinct identity. 19 inch front and 18 inch rear wheel, disc brakes with dual-channel ABS and 14.8 liter fuel tank make it suitable for long journeys as well. To keep the riding position comfortable, it has a seat height of 800 mm, which is convenient for riders of every height.

Price: How much will it cost?

Royal Enfield has introduced the Classic 650 in three variants—Hotrod, Classic and Chrome. Its ex-showroom price in India starts at Rs 3.37 lakh and goes up to Rs 3.50 lakh for the top variant. This price is around the Super Meteor 650 (Rs 3.64 lakh) and Shotgun 650 (Rs 3.59 lakh), but has been kept slightly lower than that. Adding RTO and insurance charges to the on-road price, it can reach Rs 3.85 lakh to Rs 4 lakh in Delhi.
Bike expert Ahmed Khan says, “This price is justified considering its features and brand value. Classic 650 is perfect for those who want the charm of Classic 350, but expect more power and modern features.” Available in four colors – Vellum Red, Bruntingthorpe Blue, Teal and Black Chrome – this bike tries to woo every вкус.
A tadka of modern features
The Classic 650 is not limited to just looks and power. It also has modern features like LED headlamp, Tripper navigation system, USB charging port and adjustable brake and clutch levers. Also, a small digital display with an analog instrument cluster gives information like fuel level, trip and service reminders. At 243 kg, it is the heaviest bike from Royal Enfield, but its balance makes it suitable for both city and highway rides.
Market expectations and challenges

Royal Enfield’s Classic range has always been popular among bike enthusiasts. The Classic 350 is the company’s best-selling bike, and now this new model in the 650cc segment tries to further strengthen that legacy. Although it will compete with rivals like the BSA Gold Star 650 and the Kawasaki Eliminator, it will be a hit with Royal Enfield fans and customers who love its retro-modern blend.

At the launch, B. Govindarajan, CEO of the company, said, “The Classic 650 is not just a bike, but a symbol of our heritage. It is a combination of great design and great performance, creating a unique bond between the rider and the machine.”

Conclusion
The Royal Enfield Classic 650 is a great choice for those who want to enjoy modern performance with classic style. Its price may seem premium, but its features, power and brand trust make it special. If you are a biking enthusiast, then this new model will definitely be on your radar. Will it bring a new revolution in the market? Only time will tell.
