2 New Royal Enfield Bikes Unveiled @ EICMA 2017: Royal Enfield was one among the top presenters at EICMA 2017. They were present with two of their upcoming 650cc motorcycles that were spotted at numerous occasions across India and Europe.
Known by the name Interceptor 650, first one of them is a retro modern machine while Continental GT 650 is a perfect cafe racer with design resemblance to the present generation model. Both the bikes are powered by a 648 cc, twin cylinder engine producing 47 HP at 7100 rpm and 52 Nm at 4000 rpm.
The engine comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox for the first time on a Royal Enfield. They have made the new engine effectively lighter than all other engines on use, helping Continental GT claim just 198 kg of kerb weight. Interceptor 650 carries a bigger seat as well as fuel tank, claiming 202 kg of weight and still effective 174 mm of ground clearance.
Both of these will launch in India next year and pricing is highly expected to stay under INR 3.5 lakh. Royal Enfield has promised a single variant for every global market and hence, ABS will stay standard on both the bikes. Each one of them comes equipped with dual exhaust outlets and three unique paint schemes.
