Royal Enfield Bear 650 Styling
Royal Enfield Bear 650, a scrambler-style motorcycle built on the Interceptor 650 platform, introduces a rugged look with features tailored for adventurous rides. It sports chunky MRF Nylorex tyres, rounded side body panels, and distinctive race plate-style side panels. The bike is equipped with LED headlamps, taillamps, and turn indicators, enhancing both visibility and modern appeal.
In terms of technology, the Bear 650 includes a TFT display, also seen on the Guerrilla and Himalayan models, offering Bluetooth connectivity and Google Maps casting for easy navigation. Embracing true scrambler ergonomics, it features a raised handlebar and forward-set foot pegs, ensuring a comfortable riding posture for both city and off-road journeys.
The Bear 650 rolls on an 18-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear wheel, though it lacks a tubeless option. Ground clearance is rated at 184mm, seat height at 830mm, and the bike has a kerb weight of 216 kg, making it capable of handling rough terrain.
RE Bear 650 – Engine, Transmission, and Suspension
The Bear 650 is powered by Royal Enfield’s 648cc parallel-twin engine, shared with other 650 models, delivering 46 hp at 5,150 rpm and 56.5 Nm of torque at 7,250 rpm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox. For suspension, it uses Showa’s USD big piston forks in the front with 130mm of travel, and Showa Twin tube RSU at the rear with 115mm travel, ensuring a smooth and responsive ride.
Braking is managed by a 320mm front disc and a 270mm rear disc, with the option to switch off the rear ABS—ideal for challenging terrain. Additionally, the Bear 650 adopts a new 2-into-1 exhaust setup, shedding weight compared to the traditional dual exhaust system. This design choice aligns with its scrambler identity, optimizing it for both performance and style.
