Powerful and Refined
Powerful and Refined
  • The 650cc parallel-twin engine on the Interceptor feels super smooth while riding
  • The Interceptor 650 offers a powerful performance and has a great pull throughout the rev range
  • The bike can be ridden at slow speeds in higher gears, without any stress, thanks to the good low-end torque
  • The light clutch action makes it easier to ride through heavy traffic, thanks to the slip-and-assist clutch
  • In our tests, it delivered a mileage of 25.35kmpl in the city and 33.17kmpl
  • The top-end performance has been toned down in the BS6 model, because of a different engine tune

Fun to Ride Roadster

  • The bike feels very stable at high speeds and is planted around the corners and twisties
  • Braking performance is good - The bite and progression are spot on
  • With a 218kg kerb weight, the Interceptor 650 feels heavy to manoeuvre
  • The CEAT Zoom Cruz tyres do not offer a good grip when you ride it hard
Enjoyable and Relaxed

  • The soft rear suspension performs decently at higher speeds
  • The large 18-inch wheels help handle bad roads easily
  • The telescopic fork lacks firmness and bottoms out on sharp bumps and potholes every now and then
  • The rear suspension is too soft and feels bouncy at slower speeds
Retro Essence In the Console

  • The LED headlight adds a modern touch to the bike and lights up the road better than the older halogen headlight
  • The twin-pod instrument console on the Interceptor 650 complements its retro vibe
  • It has a digital inset that displays the fuel level, odometer, and tripmeters
  • Misses out on clock, distance-to-empty reading, and gear position indicator

Pros and Cons of Interceptor 650

Likes
  • Most affordable 650cc bike in India, Linear yet exciting power delivery, Extremely refined engine
Dislikes
  • Lacks features, Uncomfortable for pillion riders, Rear suspension is a little too soft
Expert's Conclusion

To our surprise, the Interceptor 650 felt more like a 90’s Honda and less like a Royal Enfield, given its refinement levels and performance. The engine feels amazing with loads of torque on offer and a nice sound from its twin exhausts. Overall quality is quite good and the motorcycle feels like it is built to last. This can easily be called the best Royal Enfield bike out there.
