Introduction

The upcoming Royal Enfield Bullet 650 is set to take the brand’s most iconic nameplate into the 650cc space, aligning with the growing interest in the Bullet 650 heritage twin-cruiser segment. The motorcycle is expected to bring classic Bullet styling with modern upgrades.

Key Highlights

Global debut scheduled for 4 November 2025 at EICMA
Expected India launch in early 2026
Indicative price around ₹3.4 lakh (ex-showroom)
Colours expected: Cannon Black and Battleship Blue
Retro design with gold pin-stripes, chrome dual exhausts
Powered by 647.95cc parallel-twin engine producing approx. 46 bhp/52 Nm

Royal Enfield is preparing to expand its 650cc portfolio with the Bullet 650, which will carry forward the timeless tank design, spoke wheels, and classic casquette headlamp setup. The model is expected to retain the signature Bullet stance while offering updated touches like LED lighting and premium switchgear.

The motorcycle is built on the familiar 650cc twin platform and is likely to feature a semi-digital instrument cluster and chrome-finished twin peashooter exhausts. Suspension duties are expected to be handled by 41 mm front forks and twin rear shocks, staying true to its heritage-cruiser feel.

Royal Enfield has not confirmed variants yet, but early indications suggest a single standard variant at launch. The model will target riders seeking a traditional design with stronger highway performance than the 350cc series.
