Bullet 650 unveiled: Over at EICMA 2025 held in Milan, the long-rumored Bullet 650 made its debut, fusing classic looks with today’s tech, marking a full 125 years since the marque first began.
Timeless Design, Evolved for Today
The fresh Bullet 650 keeps close to the classic shape – upright posture, tear-shaped gas tank featuring hand-done stripes, a winged emblem on the tank, along with an LED headlight mounted on a casquette plus tiger-eye guide lights. Each contour brings back the old-school vibe of the bike. Offered in Cannon Black or Battleship Blue, its spoked wheels made with wires, shared seat design, and pod-style front light highlight that signature Bullet look.
Powerful Twin-Cylinder Heart
The heart of it is Royal Enfield’s trusted 648cc twin-cylinder motor – identical to what you get in the Interceptor 650 or the Continental GT 650. This engine puts out 47 horsepower alongside 52.5 newton-meters of twist, working together with a six-gear transmission and a slip-assist clutch to make rides buttery-smooth and relaxed. With this combo, the Bullet 650 rides polished but still keeps that raw, signature Enfield punch.
Built on Strength and Stability
The Bullet 650 runs a steel tube backbone frame, pairs Showa front forks with twin rear shocks – tuned for steady handling and ease on long rides. Rolling on a 19-inch up front, an 18-inch at the back, each wheel gets disc brakes teamed with dual-channel ABS, so stopping feels sure-footed. Weighing in at 243kg, it handles bulk well, delivering the grounded, no-nonsense feel riders look for.
Classic Feel, Modern Touches
Inside the classic look hides quiet updates – LED lights, a mix of digital and analog dials, along with smoother handling touches. Sitting position stays straight and comfy, thanks to a low 31.5-inch saddle plus a 3.9-gallon (14.8L) fuel supply. Every version includes brush-stroked accents, old-school logos, and gleaming metal bits showing off Royal Enfield’s hands-on build quality.
Global Launch and India Debut
The Bullet 650 is set to hit global markets in 2026, kicking off in Europe then moving to North America. While Royal Enfield hasn’t confirmed when it’ll land in India, chances are good it’ll show up by next year, slotting into their 650cc range along with the Interceptor, Continental GT, or maybe even the Super Meteor.
Legacy Lives On
Ever since it showed up in ’32, the Bullet’s stood for toughness, no-fuss looks, and style that never fades. Now, Royal Enfield brings back the spirit with the fresh Bullet 650 – this time powered by a two-pot engine, upgrading a ride that’s shaped how people experience bikes for decades.
A strong motor, classic look but lasting legacy – the fresh Bullet 650 isn’t merely a bike; it’s the past rebuilt for today’s streets.
