Royal Enfield Interceptor 650

Royal Enfield’s popular Interceptor 650 motorcycle is getting big updates. A test bike of the 2025 model has been spotted on the roads in India, showing some new features and changes. The Interceptor 650 has been around for a long time, and this new model promises to be better in many ways.  Royal Enfield is expected to price the new Interceptor 650 between Rs 3.10 lakh and Rs 3.20 lakh (ex-showroom). Let’s know more about the updates in the upcoming Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 bike:  New Design Updates in Interceptor 650The 2025 Interceptor has a stylish design. It comes with a round LED headlight and a teardrop-shaped fuel tank with a neat, flush-fitting lid. Moreover, the rear fender is also new, and the bike now has a circular LED tail light and turn signals. These lights look similar to the ones on the smaller Royal Enfield Hunter 350. This new Interceptor will also come in several colors. Better Suspension and BrakingThe 2025 Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 still uses the same sturdy frame as the older model. However, the suspension has been updated for a smoother ride. The front now has a larger telescopic fork, and the rear comes with twin shock absorbers that you can adjust. These upgrades mean the bike should handle much better on the road. Furthermore, the bike now rides on alloy wheels with tubeless tires. It also has new brakes, replacing the single front disc with two discs and Bybre brake calipers. Moreover, this new setup should improve braking performance, though only a test ride will tell us for sure. Updated Display and Same Powerful EngineThe new Interceptor 650 features a single-pod instrument cluster, replacing the twin-pod setup. This new cluster is a simple yet stylish display with a chrome ring around it. It’s expected to have a TFT screen with Bluetooth connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation, similar to the one on the Himalayan 450. The Interceptor 650’s engine has remained the same. It still has the powerful 648cc parallel-twin engine that makes 47 bhp and 52 Nm of torque. Moreover, the test bike also shows new exhaust pipes, which could offer a fresh sound.Before you go, don’t forget to check out the offers available on Pure EV bikes.Follow us for the Latest Bike Industry UpdatesFacebook - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_offl_fb Instagram-  https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_insta Twitter - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_twitter
