    follows you at your pace 

    My Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 is a bike that bridges the gap between old-school character and modern performance. i feel milage is around 25-30 kmpl depending on riding style. The riding position is upright and relaxed, perfect for long rides my mother feels very relaxed in journey . The suspension is on the softer side. However its fuel efficiency is very low .

With a robust 648cc parallel twin engine, it effortlessly delivers about 47 horsepower and 52 Nm of torque makes every ride smooth and powerful. The 6 speed gearbox with its slip assist clutch allows for seamless gear transitions, enhancing the ride experience.What really stands out is its retro charm combined with modern performance.
