Motoring Pulse

The Super Meteor 650 is what began Royal Enfield’s second chassis platform which soon expanded with the Shotgun 650 and then the Classic 650. The Super Meteor 650 continues to use the same 650cc parallel-twin air-oil-cooled engine with an SOHC architecture and 4-valve for each cylinder. It produces 47 PS of power at 7,250 RPM and 52,3 NM of torque at 5,650 RPM.

Classic 650 is the most powerful Classic that Royal Enfield has ever made. The motorcycle uses the same 650cc parallel-twin air-oil-cooled engine present in the rest of the 650cc motorcycles and uses a modified version of Shotgun 650’s chassis.

Royal Enfield is presently making 14 different motorcycles between 350cc and 650cc - this is the widest segmentation in RE’s lineup ever. And those 14 motorcycles are based on four varieties of engines - a 350cc air-cooled single, a 443cc air/oil-cooled single, a 452cc liquid-cooled single, and a 650cc air/oil-cooled parallel twin.

Royal Enfield has today launched the Classic 650 in India at a starting price of INR 3,37,000 ex-showroom (which goes up to INR 3,50,000).
