Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 2022

According to Royal Enfield Motorcycles

It marks the return of one of Royal Enfield’s most loved classic motorcycles. Hailing from a time when all that mattered was that the California sun was out and the surf was up, the new Interceptor retains every bit of charm that made it a legend. Here is the story of its revival.

The light alloy wheels help lower unsprung weight which enhances handling. Coupled with the custom designed tyres, delicate measurements and adjustments on the suspension, it’s a smooth, agile and nimble ride.

Sit back, breathe in, breeze away. The Interceptor exudes a versatile, laid-back attitude with its upright riding position. Its suspension is developed for precise, immediate handling while staying agile and light.

While classically styled and visually beautiful, the new engine is Royal Enfield’s most forward looking yet. Cleaner, elegant look, fewer components, less weight and easier maintenance.
