The 650cc twins from Royal Enfield will be launched just a day before the relaunch of Jawa motorcycles, making for an exciting week for retro-classic enthusiasts
Royal Enfield is finally going to launch the Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 in India on November 14, 2018, putting an end to a year-long wait. Originally showcased at EICMA 2017, the bikes will start a new chapter for Indian automobile manufacturers who have had an excellent ride on the retro wave in India and abroad. The bikes are expected to be retailed under a price point of Rs 300,000 (ex-showroom Delhi) and mark the company’s entry into the middleweight motorcycle segment.
While the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 comes in a classic roadster theme, the Continental GT 650 has a cafe racer styling. Developed by Harris Performance, the RE subsidiary in UK, the retro design is built on an all-new frame that is optimised to offer better handling and comfort. The power in both the bikes is derived from a 649cc, twin-cylinder, oil-cooled engine that delivers an output of 47 bhp at 7250 rpm and 52 Nm of peak torque at 5250 rpm. The engine is matted to a 6-speed gearbox that comes with a slipper clutch and has a top speed of over 160 kmph.
The suspension duties are taken care of by front telescopic forks and twin spring gas-charged shock absorbers at the rear. In terms of braking, both bikes come with 320mm front disc and 240mm rear disc brakes coupled with a dual-channel ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) that comes as a standard in both the motorcycles for added safety.
