The wait is finally over! Royal Enfield has unveiled the official teaser for the Interceptor Bear 650, also known as the Bear 650 Scrambler. The teaser confirms that the launch is set for November 5th.
Royal Enfield Bear 650 Scrambler: What to expect?
Based on the Interceptor 650, the Bear 650 is the scrambler version that gets the tubular steel chassis and a similarly designed lean-looking fuel tank. Based on the leaked images of the Bear 650, it will have a taller road presence with new and longer suspension travel. It sports upside-down front forks with twin coiled rear shock absorbers, unlike the gas-filled ones in the current Interceptor. It will get the traditional round LED headlight with redesigned indicators and a new tail lamp. It also has a simple grab tail in the back for the pillion and a single seat. Being a Scrambler, it sits on a brand-new set of versatile dual-purpose tyres.
Royal Enfield Bear 650 Scrambler: Engine and Features
The Bear 650 Scrambler will be powered by the tried-and-tested 648cc air-oil cooled parallel twin engine, which has an output of 47bhp and 52Nm of torque mated to a 6-speed gearbox with a slipper assist clutch. What will make the Bear 650 different from the others in the 650 lineup is that it gets a two-in-one exhaust.
The Bear 650 Scrambler is expected to have a host of features like a USB charging port, a single digital instrument cluster with a navigation system, Bluetooth connectivity and dual-channel ABS.
