New Royal Enfield Interceptor Bear 650: All you need to know
Royal Enfield has expanded its 650cc line-up with the new Interceptor Bear 650. Based on the Interceptor 650, it features a scrambler-style design, a handful of distinct components, and a different tune for the engine.
Royal Enfield INT Bear 650 Design
The Interceptor Bear 650 features vivid paint schemes, which include five colours: Wild Honey, Broadwalk White, Petrol Green, Two Four Nine, and Golden Shadow. With the new knobby tyres in sizes different from INT 650, a new single-piece seat, redesigned rear fender, new LED indicators and taillamp, plus a new two-into-one exhaust, it somewhat looks a scrambler. It is to be noted that the knobby MRF Nyrolex tyres fitted on spoke wheels are not tubeless.
