Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Review, Verdict. I thought the Interceptor would be a little on the dull side, but it’s very close to the GT dynamically, can be pushed just as hard and ridden just as quickly.You don’t need to ride these bikes fast to enjoy them. The engine power of Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 is 47.65 PS @ 7250 rpm. It’s not a major issue, though.Both bikes felt very balanced and stable when cornering at both slow and high speeds, thanks to very responsive steering input, but the wider bars on the Interceptor would obviously make everyday riding through suburban streets more comfortable.To add another element to this launch, we also ran some miles with a pillion on board, hitting speeds of up to 80kmh. No element looks out of place and the overall packaging has been well thought out.

With the Royal Enfield Continental GT and Interceptor, they’ve proved just that.Front Suspension: 41mm telescopic fork, 110mm travelRear Suspension: Dual coil shocks w/adjustable pre-load, 88mm travelFront Brake: 320mm disc, 2-piston ByBre caliper w/ABSRear Brake: 240mm disc, single piston ByBre caliper w/ABSLxWxH: 2122mm x 789mm x 1165mm (2122mm x 744mm x 1024mm)Solid – Orange Crush, Silver Spectre, Mark Three Black; Custom – Ravishing Red w/black, Baker Express white w/orange; Chrome – Glitter & Dust(Solid – Ventura Blue; Custom – Ice Queen white w/grey, Black Magic black w/gold, Dr. Mayhem black w/grey; Chrome – Mister Clean)

As you’d expect, slow-speed handling was affected with a pillion, but the disadvantage faded away at higher speeds, further proving the stability of the new twin platform.My pillion commented on the need to hold on as there was a real sense of ‘coming off the back’, which I was surprised at hearing. Overall, the Interceptor 650 is here to carve its mark on a stone.

While sharing engines, frames and a number of other parts, Royal Enfield’s long-awaited 650 twins are anything but identical. As per him, they are too small and vibrate quite a lot at high speeds. Sure, you can do licence-losing speeds, but you simply don’t need to.

Royal Enfield 650 can now be upgraded to make it either a 750 cc or 865 cc twin cylinder machine. The build quality of both variants is evident, with little details showing these models have been manufactured with a more discerning international audience in mind. Bangalore based RaceDynamics have launched a new ECU for Royal Enfield 650 Twins, which improves the power and torque output. Maruti Dzire gets a new TVC [Video] » Trending Stories.

About 80 per cent of the torque is available from 2500 rpm and a flat torque curve results in ample power all thee way till about 6000 rpm.

How many gears available in Royal Enfield Interceptor 650? In fact, a twin dates back to the English company’s very early days. There’s the assurance of Bosch ABS, too, so maybe I’m being picky.At the end of the Australian launch, I came away with very positive opinions on both the Interceptor and the Continental GT.

All Rights Reserved.In the Bullet, Classic, Continental and Himalayan that Royal Enfield have released here to date, the growth in the model range has reflected the evolution of the brand, but the common thread running through all the “new” Royal Enfields has been the single-cylinder engine.That’s now changed, with the first twins in the modern, Indian-owned era of Royal Enfield finally released locally after first breaking cover in 2017.The switch to a multi-cylinder engine, as well as a larger capacity bike in general, is a change Royal Enfield needed to make.
