Royal Enfield is hoping to reach its full potential in 2025 with the expansion of its 650cc portfolio. If you thought 2024 was a busy year for Royal Enfield, get ready for a big change next year. Four 650cc bikes will be launched by the renowned two-wheeler manufacturer, including three new models and one upgraded version. Here are all the details about the upcoming models.
Royal Enfield Classic 650
Royal Enfield will expand the Classic line by launching the most powerful model Classic 650. The Classic 650 will be offered as a single-seater with an additional pillion seat, retaining its vintage look. The Classic 650 was first introduced by Royal Enfield in the European market during EICMA 2024, Milan. It was then showcased at Motoverse 2024 in Goa.
The new 650cc motorcycle is expected to be launched in January 2025. It will feature spoke wheels, dual exhaust, dual-channel ABS, a Tripper navigation pod, adjustable clutch and brake levers, and LED lighting, among others. Additionally, the motorcycle could feature a 43 mm Showa front suspension with twin coils at the rear. It will have four color options: Bruntingthorpe Blue, Vallum Red, Black Chrome, and Teal.
Royal Enfield Bullet 650
The Bullet 650 has been spotted on Indian roads several times during testing. The Shotgun 650 and Super Meteor 650 have the same frame and will be introduced in India by mid-2025. The general design is influenced by the Bullet 350 and Classic 650, which are yet to be launched.
Alloy wheels will not be an option on the Royal Enfield Bullet 650; wire-spoke wheels will be used. Paired with a 6-speed gearbox, the bike will be powered by the same trusty 648cc twin-cylinder engine.
Royal Enfield Himalayan 650
The Royal Enfield Himalayan 650, internally named “R2G”, is probably the brand’s biggest launch of 2025. It will be introduced in India during the festive season of October-November 2025. Also, it will be based on the Interceptor’s trellis frame.
The spy pictures showed several features, including spoke wheels, split seats, USD front forks, and a side-swept exhaust pipe. However, it will have been the same 648cc parallel-twin engine option. Stylistic inspirations are probably taken from the great Himalayan 450bike . As per rumours, the Himalayan 650 will be the most expensive Royal Enfield motorcycle when it is introduced in the country.
Royal Enfield Interceptor 650
The Interceptor 650, which was spotted testing, is getting an upgrade from Royal Enfield. The motorcycle needs a significant overhaul to remain competitive as it has been around for quite some time. The 2025 Interceptor will feature several new features and stylistic changes. The 648cc engine will remain the same, but the spy pictures also revealed a new suspension system and braking unit.
