Royal Enfield 650cc Twins: Interceptor and the Continental GT
The Royal Enfield 650cc engine has been developed by the company to cater to the audience looking to upgrade from their existing niche of motorcycles. With the Interceptor and Continental GT, the company is hoping to eat into the sales of the Harley Davidson 750 and create a strong foothold in the segment it has never entered before. The highlight of these Royal Enfield bikes is the parallel twin 650cc engine that produces a peak power of 47BHP and 52Nmof torque.
The two bikes get ABS as standard and disc brakes on both the wheels. The presence of a slipper clutch in the 6-speed gearbox ensures that the Interceptor and Continental GT are not left far behind when the features are concerned. With the new Royal Enfield 650cc bikes the company has already promised that the bikes will be as easy in terms of maintenance as the younger siblings.
