Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650, the brand’s two highly awaited motorcycles are all set to be launched in India later today. The bikes were first unveiled at the 2017 EICMA motorcycle show last year and the pricing for the two will be announced later today. Bookings for the upcoming Royal Enfield 650 twins have already begun at some of the company’s dealerships across India. The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 is based on a classic roadster theme while the Continental GT 650 has a cafe racer styling. Both bikes share the same 648cc, twin cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that is good for producing respective power and torque outputs of 47 bhp and 52 Nm. The gearbox on these two is a six-speed unit that further gets a slipper clutch for seamless gearshifts. Suspension duties on the Royal Enfield 650 twins are taken care of with the help of conventional telescopic forks up front along with twin spring gas-charged shock absorbers at the rear.

The two bikes come to a halt with the help of a 320mm disc brake up front along with a 240mm disc at the rear. A dual-channel ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) comes as standard with the motorcycle for added safety and convenience. As far as pricing is concerned, the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 and Interceptor 650 are expected to come with a tag of around Rs 2.8 lakh (ex-showroom). At such a price, the bikes won’t have a direct rival and Harley-Davidson Street 750 will be the nearest competitor.
