At 216kg, what does the Bear 650's weight mean for its off road capabilities?
At 216kg, the Royal Enfield Bear 650 is heavy for a motorcycle that’s marketed with scrambler like capabilities. The weight of this is a point of contention amongst a number of motorcycle enthusiasts, and when compared to other scramblers or adventure bikes in the market. However, some say that the weight severely restricts its off road potential, and makes it hard to drive in difficult terrain. But others argue that the system, with its weight distribution and its suspension setup, does neutralize the influence of the overall mass. The discussion on weight reduction techniques continues, with weight reduction techniques like using lighter materials in some of the parts being debated on whether Royal Enfield should have focused more on. There's also talk about how this weight impacts the bike's handling in urban environments and on long stretches of highway, where the Bear 650 is sure to spend most of its time.
At 216kg, it is way too heavy for any serious off roading. You're going to have a nightmare if you get caught in the mud or sand.
