We all know the Royal Enfield 650 twins (Interceptor and Continental GT) are renowned for their parallel twin engine and dual exhaust combo that creates a beautiful exhaust note. However, the Bear 650 breaks from this design with a single sided exhaust system. This has stirred up a debate among Royal Enfield fanatics and possible buyers. However, the single exhaust does detract from the iconic sound of the 650 platform, they say, perhaps robbing the listener of the sound that many riders have become accustomed to hearing on the 650 platform. The single exhaust, though, is a point of contention with other who say it results in weight reduction and a cleaner look in line with a more rugged aesthetic of the Bear 650. It also discusses the impact of this change on performance, heat management and the overall character of the motorcycle.
