Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650

Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 Overview

The Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 is an upcoming middleweight cruiser from the Indian motorcycle maker, which will join the Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650. In all likelihood, the Super Meteor 650 might be the new flagship model from Royal Enfield and will be positioned above the other two 65cc motorcycles from the company. The spy pictures of the motorcycle suggest that it is a low-slung cruiser meant for long-distance tourers and will be the most affordable 600cc+ cruiser on sale in India. 

2022 Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 Design

Compared to the street-focused styling of the other two 650cc motorcycles from Royal Enfield, the Super Meteor 650 is an extension of the cruiser-like stance of the Meteor 350. It is evident from the laid back and low slung stance of the test mules of the motorcycle spied. The motorcycle has a high set wide handlebar with silver-finished levers and low set split seats with forward-set footpegs, which give it a relaxed riding posture. While the engine and alloy wheels are all-black themed, there are chrome touches on the exhaust pipes, rearview mirrors and the round-themed instrument console. Like the Meteor 350, the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 also might get a rounded halogen headlamp, turn indicators, and tail lamp mounted on the rear fender.

In all likelihood, the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 will share its four-stroke, air-cooled, parallel-twin, 648cc engine and the 6-speed gearbox with assist and slipper clutch with the Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650. However, for a better torque band for long-distance touring, the engine might see tweaks to its power and torque outputs. As visible in the spy pictures, the Super Meteor 650 might come with inverted front forks (first for a Royal Enfield) and gas-charged twin shock absorbers and a single disc brake at both ends. This will aid stability at higher speeds as well as comfortable dynamics when riding with a pillion on board. 

2022 Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 Price and Launch

Given that the test mules of the Super Meteor 650 appear to be in the final stages of testing, we are assuming that Royal Enfield will launch this motorcycle in the second half of 2022. We are expecting it to be priced in the range of Rs 3-3.5 lakh. This will be the most affordable large-capacity cruiser on sale in India. Expect the company to offer an array of accessories as well.
