Royal Enfield Classic 650 launch on this date: What to expect

Royal Enfield Classic 650 launch on 27 March.

Royal Enfield is all set to launch the much-anticipated Classic 650 in India on March 27, 2025. The motorcycle, which was first unveiled at EICMA 2024, was initially expected to hit the market earlier but faced a delay. Now, the Chennai-based manufacturer is gearing up to add this model as the latest addition to its growing 650cc lineup.

Royal Enfield Classic 650: All you need to know

The Classic 650 is heavily inspired by the Classic 350, retaining its timeless design from the Classic 350 while offering a more powerful middleweight package.
It gets a 648cc parallel-twin engine, producing 46.4 hp and 52.3 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed gearbox and a slipper-assist clutch. However, we can expect the manufacturer to offer the model in a different state of tune as compared to its other siblings such as Shotgun 650 and Super Meteor 650.

For suspension, it will get 43 mm telescopic front forks and twin rear shock absorbers. It rides on spoked wheels (19-inch front, 18-inch rear) with tubed tyres and gets disc brakes at both ends with dual-channel ABS.
In terms of features, the Classic 650 is expected to come with all-LED lighting, a semi-analogue instrument console, a Type-C charging port, and the Tripper Navigation pod. The motorcycle will also offer adjustable levers and an optional bolt-on pillion seat.
With this launch, the Classic 650 will become the sixth Royal Enfield model in the 650cc segment, joining the Interceptor 650, Continental GT 650, Super Meteor 650, Shotgun 650, and the recently launched Bear 650.
