    • It gets a removable rear seat.
    • Modern-retro design looks good on the motorcycle
    • Biggest single-cylinder 652cc engine
    • Torque motor with 55 Nm of peak torque
    • Thumpy exhaust note
    • More affordable and powerful than its primary rival
    • Equipped with Brebmo brakes and Pirelli Phantom tyres
    Cons
    • Not many connectivity features on offer.
    • Sharing its sub-frame with the Shotgun 650, the ride quality is likely to be on the stiffer side.
    • The 243kg kerb weight makes it the heaviest RE motorcycle yet.
    • Misses on modern features like digital cluster, bluetooth connectivity and more
    • The 5-speed transmission may disappoint some riders

        Royal Enfield is my absolute favorite bike. I truly love bikes, but if I had to choose just one, it would always be Royal Enfield. It’s not just a motorcycle—it’s a king in itself. The power, presence, and legacy make it unmatched in every way.
