New Delhi: New information about the production-spec bike has come to light as Royal Enfield prepares to introduce the new Super Meteor 650.

Ergonomics of the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650

The Super Meteor 650 will be Royal Enfield's first contemporary twin-cylinder cruiser, and ergonomic comfort has been given top priority. The Super Meteor 650 will go even further than the Meteor 350 in terms of the relaxed riding position they have developed.

The seat height of the Super Meteor is actually lower than that of the Meteor 350, which makes it more accessible to a wider range of riders. Additionally, we now know that the bike has a deeply scooped seat, a wider handlebar, and forward-set pegs that are certain to appeal to lovers of cruiser bikes.

Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650: chassis

It is anticipated that the new Super Meteor 650 will ride on a modified version of the Continental GT and Interceptor's 650 twin chassis. After accounting for the new footpeg mounting locations for the rider and passenger, the new heel and toe shifter, and the rear brake pedal.

The engine head will also be attached to a new brace that will be added to the top of the frame. It appears that this is being done to further muffle any minor vibrations that the parallel-twin engine's already-smooth operation produces.

A USD fork and twin shock absorbers with preload adjustability at the rear support the frame. It's important to keep in mind that the Meteor 350's rear alloy wheel measures 17 inches, while the front alloy wheel measures 19 inches. Expect the Super Meteor 650 to have wide tyres, and as for the brand being used, it's likely that Pirelli Phantom Sportscomp tyres have been mounted on the motorcycle by Royal Enfield.

A single disc setup is most likely to be used for both the front and rear brakes.

Engine, design, and features of the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650

The foundation of the current 650 twins, a super sweet 648cc, oil-cooled, parallel twin engine, is rumoured to power the new Super Meteor 650 as well. Producing 47 hp and 52 Nm, it is most likely in the same tuning. To add some visual distinction, Royal Enfield has altered the engine cases' appearance slightly.

In relation to that, the Super Meteor 650's design will be remarkably dissimilar to that of the current Royal Enfields. The bike will have a distinct identity, starting with the shape of the fuel tank, which features a retro-styled winged logo and an offset fuel filler cap, as well as the side panels and tail section. Despite this, it is anticipated that some parts, primarily the round LED tail light, instrument cluster, tripper navigation pod, and switchgear, will be shared with the Meteor 350.

Instead of the customary black, the switch cubes are most likely to be a lighter shade of colour (likely brushed silver or chrome). With chrome mirrors and stalks, the situation is comparable.

The Super Meteor 650 is anticipated to be among the first Royal Enfields to come equipped with a new LED headlight. The forthcoming Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 test mule has a similar LED headlight.
