        The Interceptor 650 is a true modern classic that offers an exhilarating riding experience, thanks to its powerful 648cc parallel-twin engine. It delivers impressive power with a smooth torque curve, making both city cruising and highway rides thrilling and effortless. What sets it apart is its stock exhaust note — a deep, throaty growl that is raw, refined, and unmistakably Royal Enfield. It’s a perfect blend of heritage and performance that turns heads wherever it goes.
