Finally, Royal Enfield has launched its new bike, Classic 650 in India. This news is no less than a big gift for Royal Enfield bike lovers, as people have been waiting for this bike for a long time. Launched on 27 March 2025, the Royal Enfield Classic 650 is attracting people’s attention due to its great design and powerful engine.
Royal Enfield’s Classic range has always held a special place in the hearts of bike lovers, and now, with 650cc power, this bike is taking that identity further. Its price starts at Rs 3.37 lakh (ex-showroom, Chennai), making it an excellent option for a mid-range cruiser bike.
This bike retains the beauty and retro look of the Classic 350 and has been equipped with a powerful 650cc engine. The company has launched it in three variants – Hotrod, Classic, and Chrome. Each variant has its own style and color, which makes it even more special. If you like comfortable riding on long roads or you want to ride a bike with style in the city, then this bike is perfect for both.
Design and look of the Royal Enfield Classic 650
As soon as you look at the Royal Enfield Classic 650, you will get a glimpse of the Classic 350. It has the same round headlamp, teardrop-shaped fuel tank, and twin exhaust pipes, which give it a strong retro look.
However, some new modern elements have also been added to it, such as an LED headlamp and wide tires. It weighs 243 kg, which makes it the heaviest bike of Royal Enfield, but it is still easy to ride. The company has introduced it in four colors – Red, Blue, Teal, and Black Chrome. Each color gives it a different identity.
If you think that a heavy bike means difficult riding, then it is not so! Royal Enfield has provided telescopic front forks and dual shock absorbers, which make the ride very comfortable. The 19-inch wheels at the front and 18-inch wheels at the rear make its road grip excellent. Apart from this, the dual-channel ABS braking system increases safety even more.
Engine and Performance
Now let’s talk about the engine of this bike, which is its most special part. Classic 650 has a 648cc parallel-twin, air/oil-cooled engine, which generates 46.3 horsepower and 52.3Nm of torque. You will be surprised to know that the same engine is also used in the Shotgun 650 and the Super Meteor 650. It has a 6-speed gearbox, which makes the ride very smooth. This bike is made to go fast on the highway, but it can also be easily handled in the city.
Official information about its top speed and mileage has not been released yet, but experts believe that it can give mileage of up to 25-30 kilometers per liter. The 14.8-liter fuel tank makes it an excellent option for long rides as well.
Features: A great combination of modern technology and classic looks
Royal Enfield has added many great features to this bike. It has a Tripper navigation system, so you can easily find the way. Apart from this, a Type-C charging port is also provided, so that your phone stays charged all the time. Did you ever think that such a classic-looking bike could have so many modern features? This bike turns that thought into reality.
Apart from this, it also has adjustable clutch and brake levers, which make riding easier. The LED lighting system (headlight, taillight, and indicators) not only makes it stylish but also increases visibility at night. For safety, it has a 320mm front disc and a 300mm rear disc brake. Due to these features, this bike becomes an excellent option for both young and experienced riders.

The Royal Enfield Classic 650 starts at Rs 3.37 lakh (ex-showroom), while its top variant, Chrome, is priced at Rs 3.50 lakh.
