Royal Enfield has been focusing on its 650cc range of motorcycles heavily lately. The company currently has four offerings in the segment and plans to further expand the lineup with multiple new launches. While earlier it was reported that the company is working on the Royal Enfield Classic 650 and Bullet 650, a recently spy shot also revealed that the Indian motorcycle maker will add yet another 650cc bike to its lineup, the Interceptor Bear 650.

Recently spy shots of the upcoming Royal Enfield Interceptor Bear 650 were seen and that too without any camouflage. Expected to debut at EICMA this year, the brand has already filed a design patent and nameplate patent for the Interceptor Bear 650 in India. There is a possibility that the motorcycle will be launched later at Motoverse this year. Royal Enfield is also gearing up to unveil its first electric motorcycle as well at the EICMA 2024.
Royal Enfield Interceptor Bear 650: What to expect
The Royal Enfield Interceptor Bear 650 is expected to share its chassis with theInterceptor 650. However, the rear springs of the new motorcycle may differ in order to provide increased travel, complemented by upside-down forks at the front. Chances are the Royal Enfield might collaborate with Showa for the precise tuning of the suspension system. As a scrambler, this motorcycle is equipped with spoked wheels and dual-purpose tires.
Besides, the Royal Enfield Interceptor Bear 650 will have several other elements common to other Royal Enfield 650cc motorcycles. The LED headlights for example will be similar to the ones currently seen on other 650cc bikes from the brand. The turn indicators are also LED and share a design similar to that of theHimalayan 450. Notably, the Bear 650 is equipped with a circular LED tail lamp, in contrast to the Himalayan 450, which has its tail lamp integrated into the turn indicators. The bodywork is designed to be minimalistic, featuring a new side panel.

The Interceptor Bear 650 will be equipped with the same 648 cc, air-oil cooled parallel twin engine featuring a 270-degree crankshaft. This engine generates approximately 47 bhp of maximum power and 52 Nm of peak torque. It is paired with a smooth-shifting 6-speed transmission. There is a possibility that Royal Enfield may utilise a different sprocket size for the Bear 650. Additionally, a new single-sided exhaust system may reduce some of the road presence typically associated with dual exhausts; however, the single-sided design is expected to be considerably lighter. Currently, the dual exhausts have a weight nearing 10 kg.
