Royal Enfield Bear 650

Royal Enfield has been creating much excitement among middle-weight motorcycle buyers with its 650cc lineup. Powerful motorcycles at very affordable prices have thrilled customers. But two will stand out: the newly announced Bear 650 and perennial bestseller, the Interceptor 650. These bikes are made for an exciting set for riders looking for both performance, comfort, and a classic all-around design.  Here, we have compared the two bikes in detail by breaking down key features into subsections regarding engine and power, mileage, fuel tank, top speed, price range, and market value. What Are the Benefits of Scrambler Bikes?Scrambler bikes perfectly combine rugged off-road capability with street performance. Their design is ideal for a variety of terrains, whether city streets or light trails. They most often come with bigger wheels, meaning they provide better grip on much more varied surfaces.  In addition, their distinctive design attracts riders who like adventure and a little shine of vintage aesthetics. Due to their easy and loose riding posture, scramblers are also perfect for rides beyond several hours. Therefore, it is ideal for weekend rides or daily commutes. Engine and Power: Bear 650 vs Interceptor 650Both the Bear 650 and Interceptor 650 are powered by the same 648cc parallel-twin engine. This engine produces an identical output of 46.8bhp but differs in torque. RE Bear 650’s engine produces 56.5 Nm of torque, while the Interceptor 650’s engine produces 52.3 Nm.  Moreover, the engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox and delivers a smooth, linear power delivery ideal for long rides and highway cruising. The Bear 650, however, is slightly tuned for more low-end torque, making it a better choice for city commuting. Mileage and Fuel Tank Capacity: Bear 650 vs Interceptor 650Bear 650 and Interceptor 650 share different fuel efficiency figures. Royal Enfield Bear 650 offers a mileage of 30 km/l, while the Interceptor 650 offers 23 Km/l. Under normal riding conditions, both models are quite fuel-efficient for their engine size and performance capabilities. However, bikes have the same fuel tank capacity with a slight difference. The Bear 650 offers its users a 13.7-litre fuel tank, while the Interceptor 650 offers 13 L of fuel tank capacity. Additionally, the Bear 650’s more relaxed riding position and gearing could give it a slight edge in fuel efficiency. Top Speed: Bear 650 vs Interceptor 650In terms of top speed, both the Bear 650 and Interceptor 650 are capable of hitting 160-170 km/h. The performance of both bikes is well-suited for highway cruising and fast rides. The Interceptor 650, with its sporty ergonomics and sharper throttle response, might feel a bit quicker on the straights, but the Bear 650’s upright stance makes it a better choice for leisurely long-distance touring. Price Range: Bear 650 vs Interceptor 650Royal Enfield Bear 650 comes in a price range of ₹ 3.39 - 3.59 Lakh in India (ex-showroom). The Bear 650's pricing may be influenced by its more rugged design and the intended market positioning.  However, the Interceptor 650 is priced between ₹ 3.49 - 3.80 Lakh (ex-showroom), making it one of the best value-for-money motorcycles in the 650cc segment. Market Value: Bear 650 vs Interceptor 650Launched on November 5, 2024, the RE Bear 650, made for people who want to own scramblers with modern performance, is finding its place in the growing adventure and retro-style motorcycle segment. In contrast, the Interceptor 650 has been a market leader in the mid-weight segment since its launch, with its combination of retro looks, modern tech, and performance. Its strong sales reflect its popularity, and it enjoys high resale value. Before you go, have a look at the Leaked specs of the Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350.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
