Royal Enfield Classic 650 debuterar i Nordamerika

Royal Enfield har lanserat Classic 650 roadstern i Nordamerika, med förhandsbeställningar från 7 499 dollar. Motorcykeln har en klassisk brittiskinspirerad design och en 647,95 cc parallelltwinmotor. Debuten ägde rum i Florida under företagets 125-årsjubileum i den amerikanska marknaden.

Royal Enfield introducerade Classic 650 vid sin nordamerikanska debut i Florida, i samband med Daytona Bike Week och varumärkets 125-årsjubileum i USA. Evenemanget belyste den nya roadstern, som hämtar inspiration från efterkrigstida brittiska motorcyklar men erbjuder en mer sportig körposition jämfört med amerikanska cruisers. The Classic 650 uses the same 647.95 cc parallel twin engine found in models like the Bear 650 scrambler. Specifications include 47 bhp at 7150 rpm and 38 lb-ft of torque at 5250 rpm, with a compression ratio of 9.5:1 and fuel injection. The bike features a steel tubular spine frame, telescopic front forks with 4.72 inches of travel, twin rear shocks with 3.54 inches of travel, and dual-channel ABS on 320 mm front and 300 mm rear disc brakes. Tires are 100/90-19 front and 140/70-18 rear. Other details include a 3.9-gallon fuel capacity, 535 lbs curb weight, and a seat height of 31.50 inches. Siddhartha Lal, verkställande direktör för Eicher Motors Ltd., som äger Royal Enfield, sade: ”Classic är Royal Enfields hjärtslag – det renaste uttrycket för vårt DNA. Medan dess silhuett är tidlös har själen i vår parallelltwinmotor alltid handlat om smidig, tillgänglig kraft. Med Classic 650 har vi tagit den eleganta formen och serverat den i dubbla mått. Det är en motorcykel som hedrar vår historia av innovation samtidigt som den levererar en raffinerad, modern prestanda som känns både bekant och helt ny.” Modellen dök först upp på EICMA 2024. Tillgängliga färger för 2026 är Teal, Vallam Red och Black Chrome, i kombination med polerad aluminiumtrim. Den inkluderar en digital LCD-instrumentpanel, LED-belysning, USB-C-laddning och en omvandlingsbar dubbel- till ensits. Designen ekar Royal Enfields 1948 parallelltwin, som introducerade swingarm-bakfjädring till produktionsmotorcyklar.
