Royal Enfield is working on several new motorcycles, which include the updated Interceptor 650, the Hunter 350, and the new Classic 650. Recent spy images of these models, provide an early look at their attractive design features. The test mule for the updated Royal Enfield Hunter features an LED headlight instead of the previous halogen unit. This marks a major upgrade that puts the bike on par with other Royal Enfield motorcycles, such as the Interceptor 650. Another significant change is the twin shock absorbers at the rear. The current model's rear shocks were reported to be one of the main causes behind the ride's extreme stiffness on uneven roads. We anticipate that the new suspension will likely solve this problem. Besides this, the test mule looks similar to the existing Hunter 350.
The style of the Classic 650 appears to be based on that of its smaller sibling, the Classic 350. The bike's riding position is anticipated to be relaxing, with upright handlebars and mid-set footpegs. The revised Interceptor 650, on the other hand, has a new rear fender, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, and a circular LED headlamp. Other prominent highlights include the single-pod instrument cluster, larger telescopic front fork, twin shock absorbers with pre-load adjustment, and Royal Enfield Hunter 350's turn indicators and a round LED taillight.
