Updated Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 Spotted Testing Abroad
This update could make the Super Meteor much more comfortable on Indian roads
Quick News Highlights
-
Royal Enfield is updating the Super Meteor 650’s suspension
-
The rider seat looks a lot thicker than before
-
The updated bike could be launched by early 2026
Royal Enfield has been working on updating the Super Meteor 650, and we recently came across spy shots of the bike being tested abroad. The updated bike will likely see changes to its suspension and seating, improving the overall ride quality and comfort.
The test mule was spotted with measuring devices at both ends, along with the rear seat removed and replaced with a luggage rack to accommodate testing equipment. From what we can see on the images, Royal Enfield has likely reworked the internals of the inverted fork. At the rear, the dual shock-absorber setup is completely new.
The brand is most probably tuning the suspension to give a more plush ride quality, which should make the bike more capable of handling bad patches of road. One of the biggest issues people had with the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 was the relatively stiff suspension, which made riding on bad patches of road quite uncomfortable.
Another interesting thing here is that the rider’s seat is a lot thicker than the split seat setup offered on the Astral variant.
The addition of this thicker seat is another welcome surprise, because in our experience, the current split seat setup is a bit of a letdown. While riding over bad patches of road with this, the rider’s tailbone and spine are directly exposed to bumps and jolts. We hope this issue will be fixed with the new seat.
Other than these changes, the Super Meteor 650 likely remains the same. The current-gen Super Meteor 650 is powered by a 648cc, air and oil-cooled, parallel-twin engine, which outputs 47PS and 52.3Nm.
The updated bike could be launched by early 2026, with an expected premium that is around Rs 10,000. For perspective, the base Astral variant of the Super Meteor 650 is priced at Rs 3,68,085 (ex-showroom, Chennai).
Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 User Reviews
- Super meteor 650A good touring machine with great road presence and performance, paired with stylish looks, decent mileage, and reliability. Royal Enfield offers service and support across India. Surprisingly agile in city conditions, you don't feel the bulk of the bike, and its amazing low-end torque means you don't need frequent gear shifts.Read More4 4
- Bikers DreamThe bike offers extreme comfort and an excellent riding experience, especially if you love riding on long routes. The maintenance cost for such a beast is reasonable, but not very cheap. The thrust and power are overwhelming, and the cruising experience is on another level. The only drawback is that the bike is not easy to manoeuvre on roads with heavy traffic. Overall, it's a great bike.Read More2 2
