There are some new updates from the Royal Enfield stable. Spy images of the Classic 650 and the 350-based Bobber have surfaced online. Interestingly, both these test bikes were spotted together at the same spot. Apart from this, we can see some more details about the bikes.
In the 650cc avatar, the bike looks very similar to the styling of the Classic 350. Key design elements like the round headlight, wire spoke wheels and healthy dose of chrome have been retained. However the Classic 650 comes with a LED headlight compared to the halogen unit of the Classic 350. This unit is likely to be the same shared with the other 650cc models. It also gets split-seats, taller handlebars and there is a pannier on the RHS. This could be an accessory.
The engine is likely to develop power and torque in the similar range of the other Royal Enfield 650cc bikes. This means, we can expect 47 HP and 52 Nm or near about.
The Classic 350 Bobber is based on the Classic 350. It is hence likely to be positioned above the top end Classic 350 in terms of pricing.
Features on the Bobber could include spoke alloys, front telescopic forks, rear dual shockers and a front disc and rear drum brake. The bike could also come with dual channel ABS. Expect Royal Enfield to offer a host of accessories including alloy wheels, luggage options and other lifestyle goodies.
Royal Enfield has recently launched the Super Meteor 650. The bike uses a 650cc parallel-twin engine which is based on the new Twins Platform. The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 was the first bike based on this platform. These bikes include the Interceptor 650, Continental GT 650, Continental GT with semi-fairing, Super Meteor 650 and Tourer, Shotgun 650, Scrambler 650, Custom 650 Scrambler and a 650cc Himalayan.
