Royal Enfield has launched its much-awaited Bullet 650 motorcycle in India. Fans of the brand had been waiting for this bike for a long time. The company has set the starting ex-showroom price at ₹3.65 lakh.
The new motorcycle joins Royal Enfield’s popular 650cc lineup, which already includes the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650,Royal Enfield Continental GT 650, Royal Enfield Bear 650 and Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650.
Retro Design Inspired by Classic Bullet Models
The new Bullet 650 takes design inspiration from the Bullet 350 and Classic 650 Twin. The motorcycle gets Royal Enfield’s signature chrome headlight, muscular fuel tank and classic rear styling, giving it a strong retro look.
The iconic metallic badge on the fuel tank and hand-painted gold pinstripes further enhance its classic appeal.
Compared to the Classic 650, the new Bullet gets slightly squarer fenders, which improve its road presence and make the bike look more powerful.
Comfortable Seat and Rider-Friendly Features
Royal Enfield has focused heavily on comfort in the new Bullet 650. Unlike the split-seat setup seen in the Classic 650, this motorcycle comes with a single-piece bench seat.
This traditional seat design is expected to provide better comfort for both rider and pillion during long journeys.
The bike also features a digital-analog instrument cluster similar to the Classic 650. It includes a small digital display for information like the fuel gauge and odometer.
Powerful 650cc Engine With 6-Speed Gearbox
The new Bullet 650 is powered by a 647.95cc parallel-twin engine with air-oil cooling technology.
This engine generates 47 bhp power at 7,250 rpm and 52.3 Nm peak torque at 5,650 rpm. It is paired with a 6-speed transmission gearbox.
With this powerful setup, the Bullet 650 becomes the most powerful Bullet ever launched by Royal Enfield. The bike is expected to be a great option for touring lovers and highway riders.
Big Fuel Tank and Strong Hardware
The motorcycle is built on a steel tubular frame for better strength and stability. It gets 43mm telescopic front forks and twin rear shock absorbers for suspension duties.
To maintain its classic styling, the bike comes with a 19-inch front wheel and an 18-inch rear spoke wheel setup. For safety, Royal Enfield has equipped the bike with dual-channel ABS along with front and rear disc brakes.
The Bullet 650 weighs 243 kg and has a seat height of 800 mm. It also gets a large 14.8-litre fuel tank, making it suitable for long-distance rides.
