The Royal Enfield Bullet is one of the most iconic motorcycles in India, and it’s finally getting a big upgrade. The upcoming Bullet 650, unveiled at EICMA 2025 and later showcased at Motoverse 2025 in Goa, brings the classic Bullet charm into a more powerful and modern era.
With its legendary design and a new 650 cc parallel-twin engine, the Bullet 650 is built for riders who want old-school style with new-age performance. If you’re planning to buy it, here are the key things you should know.
Bullet 650 Specifications
Engine & Power :
The Bullet 650 uses a 648 cc parallel-twin engine that is air/oil-cooled. This is the same reliable engine used in Royal Enfield’s other 650 twins. It produces around 47 bhp and 52.3 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox. This setup promises smoother acceleration and better highway cruising compared to the single-cylinder Bullets.
Chassis & Suspension :
The bike sits on a strong steel tubular spine frame. It uses 43 mm telescopic front forks (120 mm travel) and twin rear shock absorbers (90 mm travel). This gives the bike a stable and confident feel on both city roads and highways.
Wheels & Brakes :
The Bullet 650 rides on 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoked wheels with tubeless tyres.
Braking is handled by a 320 mm front disc and 300 mm rear disc, along with dual-channel ABS, ensuring safe stopping power.
Dimensions & Fuel Tank :
- Fuel tank: 14.8 litres
- Seat height: 800 mm
- Kerb weight: 243 kg
Features :
Even with the upgrade, the Bullet 650 stays true to its roots. It gets :
- The classic teardrop tank with hand-painted pinstripes
- The traditional winged RE badge
- The iconic casquette headlamp with “tiger-eye” pilot lamps (now LED)
- A long, comfortable bench seat
Modern touches include :
- LED headlamp
- Semi-digital instrument cluster
- USB Type-C charging port
Bullet 650 Comfort and Ride Quality
Comfort has always been a big reason why people love the Bullet — and the Bullet 650 continues that tradition. The wide bench seat, upright sitting position, and 800 mm seat height make the bike comfortable for most riders.
The steel frame, telescopic front forks, and twin rear shocks help the bike stay stable on rough patches, city roads, and long stretches of highway. The 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel setup adds to the traditional Bullet riding feel that many fans still prefer.
For long-distance riders, the 14.8 L fuel tank, USB Type-C port, and luggage-friendly sitting posture make riding easier. Yes, the bike is heavy at 243 kg, but that weight actually helps it feel planted at higher speeds and uneven roads.

Bullet 650 Top Speed (Expected)
Royal Enfield hasn’t officially announced the top speed yet. But based on the engine power and comparisons with other 650-twin models, the expected top speed is around 130–140 km/h under ideal riding conditions.
This means the Bullet 650 will have enough power for comfortable highway cruising and weekend rides, without feeling stressed or underpowered.
Bullet 650 Bookings Date
The Bullet 650 has already been showcased in India, which means the launch is getting closer.
According to reports, the launch is expected around January 2026, with deliveries likely to begin soon after.
Official booking dates have not been revealed yet. If you’re planning to buy it, it’s best to stay connected with your nearest Royal Enfield dealer or sign up for updates online.
Bullet 650 Price in India
Price is one of the most talked-about points for this motorcycle. Based on current expectations :

- Earlier estimates were lower (₹2.8 – ₹2.9 lakh), but recent showcases hint at a slightly higher price tag
Considering its features, design, and 650 cc twin-cylinder engine, this price puts the Bullet 650 in a competitive spot against other mid-size motorcycles.
