- The Royal Enfield 650cc cruiser will get an inverted fork, a first for the company on a production model.
- Will be powered by the same engine as the 650 twins.
- Will come with a laidback riding stance, complete with forward-set footpegs.
- Likely to be launched by the end of this year at the earliest.
The Royal Enfield 650cc cruiser has been spotted testing yet again. This time, it features a host of accessories and looks production ready. Expect Royal Enfield to launch the bike by the end of this year or early next year. Likely to be priced at around Rs 3.5 lakh (ex-showroom), this will be the most expensive Royal Enfield yet, slotting above the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650.
Coming back to the test mule, it features accessories including a proper full-sized windshield, a chunky RE-branded crash guard with auxiliary lamps mounted on it, a cushioned pillion backrest and a pair of broader pillion footrests. A closer look also reveals a small portion of the instrument cluster. It will likely be a semi-digital unit with a tripper pod housing the turn-by-turn navigation feature offered as standard. While the bike spied earlier had coloured indicator lenses (likely bulbs), the one spied recently features clear lens ones (presumably LEDs). This could also be a part of the accessory kit.
The motorcycle will likely be powered by the same 648cc air-oil-cooled parallel-twin engine in the same tune as the 650 twins, producing an identical 47PS and 52Nm, paired to a 6-speed gearbox with a slip-and-assist clutch. In a first for a production-spec Royal Enfield, the 650cc cruiser features an inverted fork up front. We personally think it’s an overkill as the motorcycle isn’t exactly a performance-oriented one. Nonetheless, it ups the bike’s premium quotient. The rear features twin shock absorbers, and the bike rolls on alloy wheels with meaty tubeless tyres. Braking is via discs at both ends, with dual-channel ABS as standard.

As reported earlier, the upcoming 650cc cruiser will likely be called the Royal Enfield Super Meteor. The motorcycle will go up against the Kawasaki Vulcan S (priced at Rs 6.1 lakh), which is the only other 650cc cruiser available in the country. Another alternative would be the Benelli 502 C, which retails for Rs 5.09 lakh (both 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

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
