650cc Royal Enfield Twins can easily cross the 160 kph barrier, making them the most powerful machine ever built by the brand in India. The value equates to a top speed in excess of 100 mph for countries where the units are different than the Indian system. The values, along with the claimed WMTC mileage figure of 25.5 kmpl, were made official by Royal Enfield itself. The 648cc, twin-cylinder engine claims 80% of the available torque at 2500 rpm, leaving riders with more than 40 Nm of torque before even crouching and twisting the throttle hard on a highway.
The engine comes with a slipper clutch-assisted 6-speed manual gearbox. The peak power production at 7250 rpm also means that this Royal Enfield duo is ready to handle some serious revving duties. The official pricing of Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 made almost everyone smile for once, offering a 650cc motorcycle for an effective price tag of INR 2.50 lakh. The Continental GT 650 commands a premium of INR 15,000 over the Interceptor 650. More than other factors, the availability of impressive colour options completes the package. The 648cc twin-cylinder engine is good for 47 HP of peak power and 52 Nm of maximum torque.
