INDIA: Eicher Motors, the parent company of Royal Enfield, has recently filed a trademark for the name “Royal Enfield Interceptor Bear 650,” fuelling speculation about a potential future version of the popular retro roadster.
While Royal Enfield has not made any official announcements or teasers regarding this new iteration, enthusiasts in India are buzzing with excitement and speculating about what the “Bear” could entail.
The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 has been a resounding success for the Indian manufacturer, alongside its sibling, the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650.
These models have catapulted Royal Enfield to international acclaim, known for their stylish design, impressive performance, and affordability.
In the 2023 model-year update, Royal Enfield introduced alloy wheels with tubeless tires, a welcome upgrade that enhanced riders’ performance, handling, and tire options.
With the recent trademark filing for the “Royal Enfield Interceptor Bear 650,” it seems clear that Royal Enfield is not slowing down in its quest to offer new versions of the Interceptor 650.
While the exact details remain undisclosed, Indian enthusiasts eagerly speculate on the possibilities.
Many believe the “Bear” could indicate an off-road-capable, scrambler-style variant of the Interceptor 650.
Additionally, they anticipate unique paint schemes and specialized bolt-on accessories to enhance the bike’s aesthetics.
In terms of performance, the special-edition model might retain the beloved 648cc, air-cooled, fuel-injected, parallel-twin engine, delivering 47 horsepower and 36 pound-feet of torque.
However, if Royal Enfield is developing a new version of the Interceptor 650, it will likely be launched during India’s festive season, around the third quarter of 2023.
As Royal Enfield has always embraced customization, offering various special editions of their models, the potential introduction of the “Royal Enfield Interceptor Bear 650” has generated excitement among motorcycling enthusiasts.
While fans eagerly await official announcements from Royal Enfield, the anticipation for a rugged off-road variant of the Interceptor 650 continues to grow.
