Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, Continental GT 650 Get Exciting Performance Upgrades

 

Royal Enfield did confirm that the 650 twins are built in the same spec for both Indian and international markets. So technically, owners in the country shouldn’t have any problems installing these parts (except for the stainless steel mufflers). However, they are available only in the markets abroad and customers will have to get them imported, which will be really expensive.

That said, smaller items like the Power Commander ECU kit, high-flow air filter and the likes should be easier for your friends or family to bring into the country. But bigger parts like the big-bore kits, exhausts and the likes might have to go through customs and that won’t come cheap.

Interestingly, the price difference between the 750cc and 865cc big bore kit is only USD 4 (around Rs 270)! These two kits should considerably increase the power and torque output of the two bikes. In stock guise, the 648cc parallel-twin air-cooled engine with oil cooler produces 47.6PS at 7250rpm and 52Nm at 5250rpm. The best part is that all these performance upgrades are designed specifically for the 650 twins. However, it’s a given that if one installs these parts when the bike is in warranty, it will be voided.
