BS6 Royal Enfield Interceptor, Continental GT 650 Launch, Booking Details
Royal Enfield recently rolled out the BS6-compliant Himalayan in the country. The Chennai-based bikemaker is now ready to update the Interceptor and Continental GT 650 bikes in coming weeks. In fact, select dealers have already begun taking pre-orders for the BS6 Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and BS6 Royal Enfield Continental GT 650.
Deliveries of the updated models will begin from next month. The BS6 Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and BS6 Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 will be around Rs 10,000 – Rs 15,000 more expensive than their BS4 versions. At present, the BS4 Interceptor comes in the price range of Rs 2.56 lakh – Rs 2.76 lakh and the BS4 Continental GT costs from Rs 2.71 lakh to Rs 2.92 lakh (all, ex-showroom).
Both models will receive the BS6-compliant version of the existing 649cc, parallel-twin, air/oil-cooled engine, which is already boosted with fuel injection technology. The bikemaker might revise its engine map and give a different treatment to its exhaust system in order to make it BS6-compliant. Currently, the motor (BS4) returns a claimed power of 47bhp and 52Nm of torque. Read – Royal Enfield Bullet 500, Thunderbird 500 Not On Sale Anymore?
