Royal Enfield has finally unveiled the Bear 650 before its launch on November 5, 2024. The bike sports a Scrambler-style look and is based on the Interceptor 650. It is Royal Enfield's fifth model with a 648cc parallel-twin, air/oil-cooled engine. The bike is offered in five different colour options. It has several features and cosmetic changes that set it apart from the model on which it is based. While the prices are yet to be announced, market reports indicate that the upcoming Bear 650 will cost around Rs 3.40 to Rs 3.50 lakh (ex-showroom). Here's a detailed walkaround video of the new RE model.
Royal Enfield Bear 650: Design
The Bear 650 differentiates itself with a scrambler-style seat (pushed upward a bit at the back) and a number board on the side panels. It comes with new wheel sizes, MRF Nylorex off-road tyres, and all-LED illumination as standard. The fuel tank is identical to the Interceptor 650's, but it is adorned in unique and captivating hues. Other highlights include raised ground clearance (184mm), shorter fenders, and LED indicators. The bike also gets the new circular TFT display from the Guerrilla and Himalayan.

Royal Enfield Bear 650: Engine
On a mechanical front, the Royal Enfield Bear 650 has the same engine as the other 650cc models. However, there is one big change - a two-into-one system with a single exhaust system on the right side in place of two exhaust pipes. With this, the torque has increased from 52Nm to 56.5Nm, though the 5150rpm remains the same. However, the power output stays the same at 47bhp at 7,250rpm.

Royal Enfield Bear 650: Hardware
The chassis of the new Bear 650 is identical to that of the Interceptor 650, but the suspension and wheel sizes are now different. The former rolls on 19-inch (front) and 17-inch (rear) wheels. While the rear suspension includes twin shock absorbers, the front suspension has a Showa USD fork, similar to the Shotgun, but with different internals. Additionally, the suspension travel now stands at 130mm/115mm. The rear disc is now 270mm instead of 240mm, while the front disc is still 320mm like the Interceptor. The bike comes with a dual-channel ABS, which can be turned off from the back.
