Bhubaneswar : Royal Enfield, the global leader in the mid-size (250cc-750cc) motorcycle segment, today introduced the Classic 650 in India at prices starting from INR 3,37,000/-. Building on the legacy of the Classic range, the Classic 650 perfectly blends timeless elegance, modern design cues and sophisticated craftsmanship with the enduring spirit of motorcycling.
More than a motorcycle, the Classic has been a cultural phenomenon. Rooted deeply in Royal Enfield’s history, the Classic’s lineage dates back to the golden age of motorcycling. The Classic 650 is a motorcycle that seamlessly blends heritage with modernity, tradition with innovation, and nostalgia with contemporary craftsmanship. Every curve, every polished metal accent, and every signature design detail tells a story of a time when motorcycles were built to be cherished for a lifetime.
The Royal Enfield ‘Classic’ has remained the purest form of RE DNA in an elegant and undiluted form. Not only has it been the foundation of several Royal Enfield motorcycle models, it has also remained a motorcycle with an impeccable pedigree, timeless elegance, old-world charm, and distinct, unwavering character. With bespoke craftsmanship and design language the Classic has represented the very culture of classic automotive design, aesthetics and engineering.
Speaking about the launch of the Classic 650, B Govindarajan, Managing Director, Eicher Motors Limited and CEO, Royal Enfield, said, “The Classic 650 is more than just a motorcycle – it’s a tribute to our rich legacy, where timeless design meets effortless performance. It carries forward the spirit of Royal Enfield, blending craftsmanship with an unshakable bond between rider and machine. Built on our proven 650cc parallel twin platform, it offers a perfect blend of refinement, capability and powerful road presence, making it an even more aspirational choice for those who love the Classic’s DNA, seeking more power and versatility. With the Classic 650, we are not just building motorcycles; we are preserving the essence of pure motorcycling for generations to come. We’re thrilled to bring this iconic machine to India, and I am confident that it will be embraced with the same passion that defines our riding community.”
While the Classic 650 shares common heritage, it is completely modern and unique. Built on Royal Enfield’s globally awarded 650 twin motor platform, the design, the stance and the form of the motorcycle has been matched to the lines and form of the engine that powers this motorcycle. The Classic 650 has shorter, sporty fenders and a leaning forward proportion, adapted to the angled forward Twin motor. This gives the motorcycle a dynamic pose. Modern, wider tyres add to its capability and larger forms all around give it a presence befitting its larger capacity motor.
Built on Royal Enfield’s globally awarded 650cc platform, the Classic 650 delivers an exceptional riding experience that seamlessly blends comfort and control. Its refined gear-shifts and well-balanced chassis offers superior stability and enhanced riding experience, even on uneven terrain. The 650cc twin motor known for its strong low-end acceleration makes it ideal for quick getaways and confident overtakes. It delivers ample torque right from lower revs, providing an effortless surge of power without needing to push it hard. The engine is impressively stress-free and refined with minimal vibrations even at higher speeds. Its responsiveness, combined with well-tuned throttle makes it fun and engaging for the rider.
The ergonomic riding posture, with perfectly positioned handlebars and a plush wide seat, keeps the rider comfortable during long rides. Equipped with premium Showa suspension at the front and rear, the Classic 650 will deliver a smooth, confident, and composed ride across all terrains.
The uncluttered dash unit, featuring a digital LCD screen with an odometer, trip metre, fuel level indicator, service reminder, gear position indicator and clock, makes the rider focus and enjoy the ride. Additionally, the motorcycle will be offered with Genuine Motorcycle Accessories in the Classic and Classic Tourer inspired themes, allowing riders to customise their machine for an even more personalised riding experience. Overall, the Classic 650 embodies the timeless charm of motorcycling with modern-day precision and comfort.
The Royal Enfield Classic 650 adorns 4 stunning colourways that complement the flowing, elegant lines of the Classic 650 Twin. With Vallam Red, Bruntingthorpe Blue, Teal and Black Chrome, each colour beautifully complements the motorcycle’s classic contours. These fresh hues reflect timeless elegance and enhance the iconic design of the Classic, offering the riders to showcase their individuality and style.
With the launch of the new Classic 650, Royal Enfield offers attractive finance and upgrade/exchange options for existing Classic 350 customers through REOWN. The offer will be available across all empanelled Royal Enfield dealerships having presence in over 230+ cities.
