        The mileage of the Royal Enfield Bear 650 has not been officially confirmed as of now but it is expected to be in the mid-40s miles per gallon. The mileage get little bit up down when we drive on hilly roads.

        The design is made just like retro and stylish. Bear 650 is equipped with a set of spoked aluminum wheels that are specifically designed to enhance both on-road and off-road performance. It suits perfectly for young boys.

        The wheels are alloy wheels. Also due to alloy wheels maintenance of wheels is less costly and such wheels also helps in suspension. I love these features.
