Royal Enfield Cruiser 650 Updates

Monday, 30 October 2023 09:02 PM Royal Enfield has finally introduced the Super Meteor 650 cruiser in the U.S. market after a successful run overseas. This mid-sized cruiser features Royal Enfield’s iconic 648cc parallel twin engine, a non-adjustable 43mm Showa big piston upside-down fork, and twin preload-adjustable rear shocks. The bike is available in two trims: the base model at $6,999 and the Tourer trim at $7,499. I think this bike is a great option for those looking for a stylish and affordable cruiser.

Monday, 23 October 2023 07:25 PM The Super Meteor 650 has been praised for its design and build quality, with a hybrid backbone frame designed by Royal Enfield subsidiary Harris Performance. The bike boasts a retro-inspired digi-analog instrument panel, full LED lighting, and a spacious 4.15-gallon fuel tank. Royal Enfield has focused on value, usability, and style rather than high horsepower, making it an ideal choice for riders of all skill levels. I believe this approach will attract a lot of buyers who value comfort and aesthetics over raw power.

Saturday, 23 September 2023 03:09 PM Royal Enfield faced a delay in launching the Super Meteor 650 in North America due to certification issues, particularly in California. However, this delay allowed for a perfect launch in mid-October in Texas, with favorable weather conditions. The bike has been tested in various conditions and has proven to be capable, comfortable, and robust. I think the wait was worth it, given the positive feedback from testers.

Wednesday, 23 August 2023 06:12 PM The Super Meteor 650 features an updated version of Royal Enfield’s 648cc parallel twin engine, known as the Version 2.0, with improvements including new exterior cases and internal tweaks. The bike also includes modern technologies like dual-channel ABS, fuel injection, and Royal Enfield’s Google-based Tripper navigation. The bikes construction includes a model-specific steel-tube frame and a new non-adjustable Showa USD front fork. I believe these updates make the Super Meteor 650 a reliable and enjoyable ride.

Monday, 23 January 2023 06:03 PM Royal Enfield’s Super Meteor 650 has been well-received in India, where it was first launched. The bike has been praised for its neutrality and great front-rear balance, making it suitable for both urban and rural riding conditions. The bike’s geometry is more akin to a standard than a typical long-and-low American-made cruiser. I think this versatility will make it a popular choice among Indian riders.
