New Avatar of an Icon: The Classic 650 is the spiritual successor to the Classic 500 and sits between the Shotgun 650 and Super Meteor 650

By Tanmay | Published Mar 31,2025

Distinctive Design: Classic styling with a vintage headlamp, spoke wheels, and a teardrop tank; available in Teal, Vallam Red, Bruntingthorpe Blue, and Black Chrome

Heaviest Royal Enfield Yet: Weighs 243kg, making it the brand’s heaviest bike, but its still manageable on the move

Comfortable Ergonomics: Upright riding position, 800mm seat height, and a well-shaped seat for comfort

Powerful Engine: 648cc parallel-twin with 47PS & 52.3Nm, offering refined performance and smooth cruising at 100-120kmph

City & Highway Performance: Quick acceleration, easy city maneuverability, and effortless highway cruising, but noticeable vibrations at higher rpms

Ride Quality & Handling: Stable and confidence-inspiring but requires effort to lean; firm suspension makes rough roads less comfortable

Braking & Tyres: Sharp brakes with dual-channel ABS, but comes with tube-type tyres, meaning punctures could be an issue

Features: Analog-digital cluster, USB port, adjustable levers, and Tripper navigation, but no call or SMS alerts

Customizable Seat: Split-seat setup with a removable pillion seat for a sleeker look

Pricing & Variants: Hotrod (Rs 3.37L), Classic (Rs 3.41L), Chrome (Rs 3.50L); well-placed in the 650cc lineup

Final Verdict: A charming, attention-grabbing cruiser with a few compromises; an excellent upgrade for Classic and Bullet owners
