The motorcycle’s bodywork seems to be slightly different and the rear fender is chopped too. It comes with a longer pillion seat, presumably a touring-oriented accessory. The handlebars are slammed and the footpegs are mid-set like the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650. This combo should ensure a slightly sportier riding stance compared to the cruiser variant. Interestingly, the bike also rolls on a different set of alloy wheels, but it remains to be seen if the front and the rear unit are the same size. The cruiser variant runs on a larger front wheel and a smaller rear.

The rest of the underpinnings seem to be similar to the cruiser model. The powertrain, bodywork as well as the underpinnings are draped in all-black, hinting at the bike’s sporty demeanour. The headlamp cowl is also different from the standard version, reminiscent of the Indian Scout Bobber’s headlamp. While it isn’t visible in the test mule, expect the instrument cluster to come with turn-by-turn navigation like the Royal Enfield Meteor 350.
Expect the motorcycle to be powered by the same powertrain as the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and the Continental GT 650. This 648cc parallel-twin motor makes 47.6PS and 52Nm, linked to a 6-speed transmission with assist and slipper clutch. Also Read: Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, Continental GT 650 Prices Hiked

Expect Royal Enfield to launch this variant along with the standard model in late-2021. The Royal Enfield Roadster 650 could be priced from around Rs 3.50 lakh (ex-showroom). Its only current rival is the Kawasaki Vulcan S.

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
