The tallest and lightest Royal Enfield Bear 650 launched
Royal Enfield has announced the pricing of the Bear 650, the Scrambler based on the Interceptor 650, which was unveiled a few weeks back. The Royal Enfield Bear 650 is priced at Rs 3.39 lakh, ex-showroom. The Bear 650 is a more off-road-focused version of the Interceptor and features a lot of different components compared to the Interceptor.
The Royal Enfield Bear 650 is based on the same platform as the Interceptor 650, but the chassis is slightly tweaked to accommodate long suspension and strengthened to handle off- road scenarios better. That said, the Bear 650 gets a simple tank and minimal bodywork, with short front and rear fenders. The taillamp is also different compared to the Interceptor 650, however, they both feature a round LED headlight.
The Bear 650 gets USD forks made by Showa while also featuring wire-spoke wheels wrapped in semi-knobby rubber. The wheel size is also different compared to the Interceptor 650 and the scrambler gets 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels. Another important feature is the round TFT instrument console as seen on the Himalayan and the Guerrilla.

The Royal Enfield Bear 650 uses the same 650cc twin-cylinder oil-cooled unit that makes 47bhp mated to a six-speed gearbox. However, the engine makes more torque compared to the Interceptor 650 and Royal Enfield has achieved this by giving the motorcycle a two-into-one exhaust system. This not only gives more torque, but also shaves considerable weight.
The Bear 650 is a scrambler-style motorcycle that has the same platform as the Interceptor 650. It is equipped with the same 648cc parallel-twin motor that produces the same amount of power, though the torque figure is now 56.5Nm, which is 4Nm more than the Interceptor 650.The Bear 650 is also 2kg lighter than the Interceptor 650, due to the exhaust system.
The bike also features a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel for improved off-road performance. With a 184mm ground clearance, the Bear 650 is also the tallest bike in RE’s 650cc lineup. It is also the only 650cc motorcycle by Royal Enfield to be equipped with a TFT dash, which is also found on the new Himalayan. Prices for the Bear 650 go up to Rs 3.59 lakh.
