It is inspired from the Classic 350 but boasts LED headlamp & twin exhausts just like RE’s other 650cc models.

The Classic 650 will get telescopic front forks, wire-spoke wheels and disc brakes with dual-channel ABS.

Powering the Royal Enfield Classic 650 will be a 650cc parallel-twin engine that churns out 46.3 bhp and 52.3 Nm.
