Fresh from the 2018 Moto Expo Melbourne where the final Royal Enfield 650 Twins model line up and retail pricing were announced for the first time.

We may be a little biased, but we think it’s fair to say “The Twins” were the stars of the Expo and the public reaction definitely exceeded everyone’s expectations.

The models are named Interceptor and Continental GT. While classically styled and visually beautiful, the new engine is Royal Enfield’s most forward-looking yet, with a cleaner, elegant look, fewer components, less weight and easier maintenance.

Both models will carry Royal Enfield's 3 Year Factory Warranty and 3 Year Roadside Assistance and feature the same parallel twin cylinder engine the new Royal Enfield 650cc Twins presented in two classic retro stylings, are sure to please.

A single-piece forged crank with 270 degree firing order was developed for the way the engine ‘feels’ when making its power. An old school-inspired engine with high character, it delivers power smoothly. The slightly off-beat feel of a 270 degree crank engine makes it feel truly special and keeps a broad spread of torque at your disposal throughout the rev range. The highly precise Bosch fuel injection system ensures smooth, accessible power that is available from the moment the throttle is opened.uary in specific markets."

Of course, the 650 Twin is notable not only for its character, but also for its sound. Developing the right tone and burble from its twin silencers was an important goal during the engine’s creation. Whether at idle or at full chat, during over-run or while winding on the power, the exhaust note just oozes individuality.

Beauty is often overlooked in chassis design. But this new frame blends the authentic form of period classics with the superb handling and ride of modern engineering. The result is a chassis that’s nimble and precise, making for a pure and enjoyable ride. Whether on the Interceptor, or the Continental GT.
