It’s no secret that Royal Enfield is working two new 650cc cruiser motorcycles based on the RE Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650. The models are currently in their testing phase and caught on camera multiple times. The spy pictures reveal that one of the upcoming Royal Enfield 650 cruisers will feature conventional forward set footpegs, low slung stance and a wide handlebar. Its final model is likely to carry a new nameplate.
The other one will have footpegs positioned in the center, upright seating position and relatively shorter handlebars. It might be christened as Royal Enfield Classic 650 or Royal Enfield Meteor 650.

Reports suggest that the new Royal Enfield 650 cruiser will be equipped with features such as a semi-digital instrument cluster and a separate pod for a colour TFT display. It might also come with ‘Tripper Screen’ for turn-by-turn navigation display via Google maps data.
As mentioned about, the new Royal Enfield 650 cruiser will be based on the RE 650 twins. The former is likely to share its engine and platform with its donor sibling. It might source power from a 648cc, twin-cylinder motor that could be calibrated to offer cruiser like riding experience. In its current avatar, the motor produces a maximum power of 47bhp and 52Nm of torque.
The upcoming RE cruiser might also borrow its suspension and braking setup from the 650 twins. The bike is likely to feature upside down forks and twin shock absorbers at the front and rear respectively. It might feature the front and rear disc brakes that will be further assisted by the standard dual-channel ABS (anti-lock braking system).
