Even after the price hike, the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 BS6 is the most affordable 650cc twin-cylinder motorcycle in India. This is one of the reasons why it has witnessed such a huge success not just in the domestic market but in several international markets, too.
ArrayWith the new 650cc, parallel-twin engine, Royal Enfield has hit the bull’s eye. It is a motor which we haven’t experienced on any Royal Enfield motorcycle ever before. It is smooth, refined, and packs in quite a punch. The air/oil-cooled mill produces 47 PS at 7,150 rpm and 52 Nm at 5,250 rpm. The 6-speed gearbox isn’t the smoothest in the business but thanks to the slipper clutch to make shifting between the gears an easier task.
