Royal Enfield is getting all ready to bring its latest model Royal Enfield Bear 650 which will favour audiences looking for a versatile scrambler that can rule both on-road cruising and little off-roading as well. It is one of the most anticipated 650 cc models, and now images of the Bear 650 have surfaced on the internet which show us a fully production-ready version of the model which indicates that the launch might happen very soon. Let us tell you that the Bear 650 will have many similarities with the Interceptor 650 in terms of design. Imagine the interceptor 650 but with off-roading capabilities, sounds interesting right? That’s Bear 650!
Latest photos reveal Bear 650 having yellow and blue colour combinations which will give the motorbike a very funky vibe. On the outside, the body of the bike is yellow while the seat is blue and it features a neo retro aesthetic with minimalistic bodywork. The model features a tear-drop-shaped fuel tank, single-piece seat, tubular steel chassis, new mudguard and more. Meanwhile, Bear 650’s LED headlamp and indicators have been sourced from the existing 650 cc models which have been slightly changed to align with the new model’s design requirement. Also the perforated heat shield placed on the exhaust is both functional and stylish.
Bear 650 Engine and performance
Powered by the 648 cc parallel-twin engine, which produces 47 bhp of power and 52.3 Nm of torque, the bike is not different from the existing 650 cc models. Moreover, it will feature a 6-speed gearbox but what differentiates it from other 650 cc models is its two-in-one exhaust set up which not only helps to significantly reducing weight while also giving it a distinct exhaust note. Other 650 cc models use the traditional dual exhaust layout. It is visible in the images that a new spring or damper unit has been introduced in the rear suspension which confirms off-road capabilities. The bear 650 has spoked wheels with knobby dual-purpose tyres and will have 19 inch front and 17 inch rear wheel setup.
The bear is expected to have USD front forks, all LED lighting and a fully digital instrument console, dual rear shock absorbers, features like map navigation, USB charging ports, turn by turn navigation, single pod instrument console that will be completely digital and also offers smartphone connectivity. Bear 650 design shows comfortable ergonomics along with braced handlebar with upright riding posture. The distinct oval race style number boards also add up to the uniqueness. The Bear 650 is expected to Debut at the EICMA 2024 motorcycle show. Reports suggests that it’s possible that the bike may launch at the MotoVerse event.
