Royal Enfield Bear 650: Features Explained
The Bear 650 is Royal Enfield’s most tech-loaded 650cc motorcycle till date!
Royal Enfield recently unveiled the Bear 650, a scrambler style motorcycle, which is based on the Interceptor 650. The Bear is the most feature-loaded 650cc bike from the manufacturer till date; let’s have a detailed look at the features list:
The Royal Enfield Bear 650 gets a 4-inch TFT console which we have previously seen on the Himalayan 450 and the Guerrilla 450. The TFT screen supports full Google Maps navigation and Bluetooth connectivity which allows for call/SMS alerts and music control. The TFT screen has a neat and easy-to-read layout. It displays gear-position indicator, tachometer and also shows the speed. When the Google Maps navigation is enabled, the TFT displays the map on the upper half of the screen and shows the speed, gear position indicator, and the fuel gauge on the lower half. Other features of the Bear 650 include LED lights all round, a USB charging port, adjustable brake and clutch lever, and switchable ABS, which can be turned off for the rear wheel.
The Bear 650 gets the same engine as the Interceptor 650, a 648cc parallel-twin air-cooled motor which produces 47.4PS at 7,150rpm but the Bear 650 makes 56.5Nm at 5,150rpm which is 4.5Nm more than the Interceptor 650. The suspension includes an inverted fork with 130mm wheel travel and hydraulic shock absorbers with 115mm of wheel travel. The long travel suspension and the 19/17-inch spoke wheels result in an increased ground clearance of 184mm. The kerb weight of the Bear 650 is 216kg.
Royal Enfield has not announced the prices of the Bear 650 which they will do so on the 5th of November at the EICMA motor show. We expect the Bear 650 to command a premium over the Interceptor 650 and to be priced at Rs 3.50 lakh (ex-showroom).

- This is better option for BIG GUYS.I chose this because i love going to mountains and travelling through dirt trails and since i wanted to travel across Himalayas the first option that came my mind was Himalayan 450 because my cousin had Himalayan 411 back then and he loved the experience so i thought same beast with extra power would be a great choice. Honestly everything is good and perfect as i had imagined, The comfort is good the abs is great suspension, perfect and the 17L fuel tank is absolutely perfect, I never feel the necessity to carry extra fuel with me. Yes, i would really recommend this bike to someone who is interested in travelling or doing long rides like ladakh, Warwan you can go to any offroad batch or destination in this bike and also this bike performs well on highway too.Read More
- my guerrilla 450I had to many optoins when it comes to mid range cc segment and goes for the budget and this stole my eye with the colours, the glare its has some charm that i wanted to hold and drive and honestly, its been great. Its been hell of a ride and i give it the best bike the enfield ever released the bike, I mean i'm not a guy who has issues with mileage or maintaince, but if you are it might be troublesome except that runs like a butter. Of course, if youre someone who wants to have a classic bike with power torque and i quote an indian brand cause i'm proud as hell while riding this beauty and beast, it gives butterflies not exaggerated.Read More
- Beast named bearIm a tall person and i needed a tall bike and the looks of this golden shadow is just beautiful. I would have chosen interceptor 650 but this just was it when i first sat on it in the showroom. Cant get over of it. Posture has to be perfectly aligned will hurt if you don't sit right and the pull is amazing, even on the 5th gear you can feel the bike wanting to run ahead loved the overall experience, needs a seat change and tires can be better, my personal opinion If you are tall and need a 650cc from royal enfield id definitely suggest this bike way too good but, there is always a but be careful with the suspension, heavier the person better the suspension, the pull is great (torque) better than a gt most people would disagree but whatever.Read More
