BREAKING: The Most Expensive Royal Enfield Bike Is Here!
The just launched Super Meteor 650 packs a lot of firsts for a Royal Enfield bike
The wait is finally over! After what seems like an eternity filled with spy shots, teasers and multiple unveils, the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 has finally been launched in India and its prices start from Rs 3,48,900 (ex-showroom, India). Take a look at the variant-wise prices here, along with the comparison with the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650:
|
Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 (Ex-showroom, India) |
Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Prices (Ex-showroom Delhi) |
|
Astral Series- Rs 3,48,900 |
Canyon Red, Ventura Blue, Orange Crush- Rs 2,88,814 |
|
Interstellar Series- Rs 3,63,900 |
Downtown Drag, Sunset Strip, Baker Express- Rs 2,97,229 |
|
Celestial Series- Rs 3,78,900 |
Mark 2- Rs 3,14,682 |
There's nothing substantial differentiating the base Astral and mid-spec Interstellar trims apart from the colours on offer, which are black, blue and green on the former, while the latter arrives in either grey or green shades. The Super Meteor 650 Tourer, on the other hand, which comes kitted with a touring windscreen, deluxe touring seat and a pillion backrest is on sale in Celestial Red and Celestial Blue shades.
The meat of the matter is the cruiser’s 648cc parallel twin heart. We’ve seen it on the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, as well as the Continental GT 650, and it makes 47.5PS and 52Nm on the cruiser too. That said, a larger airbox in the cruiser has given the motor a more torquey nature.
Underpinnings on the Super Meteor 650 include a 43mm inverted Showa fork, which along with an LED headlight are firsts for a Royal Enfield bike, and twin rear coils. For braking, the Super Meteor 650 relies on 320mm and 300mm discs at the front and rear respectively. It runs on a 19-/16-inch alloy wheel setup shod with tubeless Ceat Zoom Cruz tyres. It’s also currently the only bike in Royal Enfield’s 650cc range to sport alloys with tubeless tyres.
In terms of features, it gets a twin pod instrument cluster that features smartphone connectivity along with turn-by-turn ‘Tripper’ navigation, similar to the one on the Royal Enfield Meteor 350. It weighs 241kg, has a seat height of 740mm, a 15.7-litre fuel tank, along with aluminium-finish switchgear that looks rather tactile.
That massive weight figure makes the motorcycle a whole 39kg heavier than the Interceptor 650. That said, its seat is 64mm lower too. In typical Royal Enfield fashion, a slew of accessories are on sale for the Super Meteor 650.
Starting from Rs 3,48,900 (ex-showroom India), the Super Meteor 650 isn’t a cheap deal. But given how premium it felt when we rode it, the bike could very well justify its price. That way, it also acts as quite a more affordable alternative to the Kawasaki Vulcan S, which retails for Rs 6.40 lakh (ex-showroom). Bookings for the Super Meteor 650 have already started, while deliveries for it will commence from February 2023

I needed a bike with good mileage and easy service. The design looked good too. Picked this one after test rides. It felt lighter and smoother than the rest. I wanted something fuel-efficient and comfortable. Smooth riding, no problems so far. Starts quick and clutch is very light. The ride quality is excellent. Mileage is good, and the handling gives confidence. I get around 55+ km/l consistently. The eco-friendly side was an extra reason to buy it. It’s perfect for office goers or college students. Doesn’t demand much maintenance. I recommend it for anyone who rides often. Great mix of comfort, mileage, and control. Doesn’t break the pocket and runs smoothly.Read More
I chose this model as it offered better mileage than others in same price. Also liked the upright sitting position, which helps during traffic rides. This one had everything I needed. Handles bumps easily, strong body. So far, rides are smooth. Clutch is light, brakes work fine, and suspension feels strong. Bit of vibration at top speed but okay. Starts easily, handles traffic well, and brakes are strong enough. Feels stable on highways too. Good for people who want a no-trouble bike. Mileage stays around 60 km/l and service cost is low. Overall, great value. Simple design, low maintenance, and good fuel economy. I wanted something long-lasting with steady mileage.Read More
Bought this one because it fits my budget and comes from a trusted brand. I didn’t want to risk a new company model. Very comfortable even on long drives, and Handles traffic well, no heating issues. My riding experience has been satisfying. Starts quick, handles turns well, and stays stable even with a passenger. Engine feels refined and quick to respond. and vibes are stable even at higher speeds. I’d tell others to go for it if they want peace of mind. It’s not the fastest, but it’s steady, smooth, and very reliable daily use bike. Very responsive throttle and smooth clutch. Seats are soft, and suspension works well.Read More
