EXCLUSIVE: Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 Spotted Again
The bike looks production-ready, and we hope it launches soon!
The bike looks production-ready, and we hope it launches soon!
The Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 has been spied in production-ready form once again, hinting that its launch could happen as early as the end of 2022 itself.
The test mule sports a large non-adjustable windshield and chromed-out crash guards. The Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 cruiser test mule was also running with alloy wheels and road-biased tyres. Additionally, the bike also gets touring-friendly laid back ergonomics, thanks to the wide, easy-to-reach handlebar and forward set footpegs resulting in an upright stance, something that last month’s spyshots revealed too.
The Super Meteor 650 was also spied testing with accessories, not just once, but twice, so in typical Royal Enfield fashion, we expect the upcoming cruiser to get a bunch of accessories with several touring-friendly bits. We even heard the bike’s exhaust note in June and it sounded bassy.
Underpinnings include discs at both ends and dual-channel ABS as standard. Its instrument cluster will likely be a semi-digital unit, just like the one in the Royal Enfield Meteor 350, and it could get a smaller pod, which will be the Tripper Navigation module.

The Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 will share the same 648cc parallel-twin air-/oil-cooled heart that powers the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and the Continental GT 650. We expect it to make the same output figures as the 650 twins: 47.6PS and 52Nm, linked to a 6-speed transmission with a slipper clutch.
All in all, the Super Meteor 650 could be the perfect motorcycle to extract the best out of the touring-friendly 650cc platform. This will be the most expensive iteration of this platform yet, likely to be priced at around Rs 3.35 lakh (ex-showroom). The only alternative is the Kawasaki Vulcan S, which is a lot more expensive at 6,40,000 (ex-showroom India).

- Light, Smooth and StylishI 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 More2 3
- Effortless Control and ComfortI 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 More1
- Affordable Yet Feels PremiumBought 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
