The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 has 650 cc engine and makes 53Nm at 5,150rpm but the torque curve is high and flat by design.


The peak horsepower is 47PS at 5,250rpm and the redline is set at 7,500rpm. The engine has a counterbalancer to quell any vibration and Royal Enfield tested and then chose a 270° firing order for character. That engine is mated to a new six-speed gearbox and final drive is chain.

The engine and gearbox are shared between the Interceptor and the Continental GT 650.

Globally, it will be launched on September 26, 2018 and the bike is likely to be launched in November.
