EICMA 2024: Royal Enfield Bear 650 Launched At ₹3.39 lakh

Royal Enfield has launched Bear 650 at ₹ 3.39 lakh (ex-showroom India) in Milan, making it the sixth family member of the 650 cc family. It costs roughly ₹36,000 more than the Interceptor 650. Here are all of the prices:

Royal Enfield has made some key changes to make the Bear 650 a bit more capable of taking on bad roads in its path. While the design looks more or less the same, the side panels have the old school scrambling side plates, flat bench seat, and dual purpose rubber, all of which give it a beefy look.

Thanks to the longer travel suspension and 19-/17-inch wheels, the chassis has been raised by a decent amount. It is also fortified to take on the extra forces and challenges scrambling will throw in its path. The MRF Nylorex rubber are specially developed for the Bear 650, but they do have a Pirelli Scorpion STR vibe to them.

Complementing the package is the same 648 cc parallel-twin motor that is pushing out 46.80 bhp and 56.5 Nm. This was achieved because of the new two-into-one exhaust system with a stubby end can.
