      Fantastic bike. It never feels underpowered—thanks to its 650cc engine. Even with such power, it gives a mileage of 24 km/l, which is impressive. I absolutely love this bike and have ridden it a lot. For a 650cc segment, it’s truly a budget-friendly option.

      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.
