In addition, the bikes also have new LED headlights, USB chargers and new colors.
Royal Enfield revealed it Interceptor 650 And Continental GT 650 with overseas alloy wheels. This has been a feature owners have been asking for since the bike was launched, and along with this update there are a number of other changes to popular bikes as well.
- New color, blackout treatment on both
- Switchgear, levers borrowed from new generation REs
Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, Continental GT 650: what’s new?
The highlight of this update are the black alloy wheels with tubeless tires that will answer the prayers of owners who have been calling for this feature since the bike hit the market. Tasks like patching a puncture or changing a tire are now much easier thanks to tubeless tires.
That’s not all as the 650 twins now have new LED headlights (apparently the same unit as Super meteor 650), USB chargers and switches borrowed from newer RE models such as hunter 350.
Along with the alloys, both cars are available in two new color options, namely Ray Black and Barcelona Blue on the Interceptor 650, and Slipstream Blue and Apex Gray on the Continental GT 650. Full bodywork, dynamic components The engine and exhaust pipes are all black.
Considering the fact that the Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 are important models for the Chennai-based brand in India, we expect alloy wheel versions to hit the market soon. Cast alloy rims are currently only available on the black painted variants of these two models. We expect this update to be applied to the rest of the color schemes, or at least offered as an accessory. Overseas, these new colors cost around Rs 6,000 more than the flagship Mark 2 color on both bikes.
