We recently reported that the flagship steeds of Royale Enfield became the most sold middle-weight motorcycle in India. Both the motorcycles carry a modern-classic design, fantastic parallel-twin engine, true riding experience and aggressive pricing. All these elements have made the 650 twins to sell like hotcakes and wrecked the sales charts. Many motorcycle enthusiasts have poured in appreciation for both the bikes from around the world.
For the update, the 650 twins are powered by a parallel-twin 648 cc air-oil cooled motor. The motor churns out 47 bhp of max power at 7,100 rpm and 52 Nm of max torque at 4,000 rpm. The engine is mated to an all-new 6-speed gearbox which is super slick. Its exhaust note is more like a deep and bassy rumble instead of a thump, all thanks to the 270-degree firing order. The 650 twins feel super smooth and punchy across the rev-range. Both the motorcycles sail on 18-inchers at both front and back shod with Pirelli Phantom SportComp rubber. Anchoring department packs a 320 mm disc at the front and a 240 mm disc at the rear, with a dual-channel ABS unit.
