About

The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Downtown Drag is a modern-retro motorcycle that combines the best of both worlds. Powered by a 648cc air-cooled twin-cylinder engine, it produces 46.8 BHP and 52 Nm of torque, making it more than capable of handling both city traffic and highway cruising. The bike features a 6-speed gearbox with an assist and slipper clutch, ensuring smooth and precise gear shifts. The suspension, though soft, is adequate for most riding conditions, and the ByBre disc brakes with dual-channel ABS provide sufficient stopping power. The bikes design is a highlight, with its retro styling and the unique matte Downtown Drag paint scheme. While it may lack some modern electronics, its simplicity and customisation potential make it highly appealing to those who value a classic riding experience with modern reliability.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Downtown Drag is a compelling choice for those seeking a blend of retro charm and modern performance. My experience with this bike has been nothing short of impressive, especially with the marginal improvements over the launch model. The new colour schemes, including the unique matte Downtown Drag, add a fresh appeal. The bikes smooth power delivery, courtesy of its 648cc twin-cylinder engine, makes it a joy to ride both in the city and on the highway. However, there are some areas that need attention, such as the soft suspension and the less-than-ideal pillion ergonomics. Despite these, the Interceptor 650s customisation potential, easygoing nature, and the nostalgic feel it offers make it a standout in its segment.

Price

The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Downtown Drag comes with a price tag that reflects its premium positioning. Ex-showroom in India, the price is around Rs 3.26 lakh, but once you factor in the on-road costs, it jumps to approximately Rs 3.76 lakh in Mumbai. This includes additional costs for accessories such as a sump-guard, touring mirrors, a long tinted windscreen, and a five-year extended warranty with RSA, which I believe is worth the investment for the peace of mind it offers. While the pricing might seem steep, the overall package and the brands reputation for durability and style make it a worthwhile investment for enthusiasts.
