Royal Enfield has finally expanded its Bullet range (only had Bullet 350 until now) with a bigger, 650cc parallel twin model — Bullet 650. This new Bullet had made its public debut at EICMA 2025 in Milan, Italy. The crown-jewel is a 647cc mill which thumps in the chassis-frames of other RE models such as the Super Meteor 650 and the Continental GT 650. Here's a rundown of everything this new and larger capacity Bullet brings from its launch floor at Royal Enfield Motorverse 2025.
Royal Enfield Bullet 650 design and equipment
The design is typically timeless or an old-timey homage to Royal Enfields of the past and gets ornamentations like embossed-metal tank badging, hand-painted pinstriping on the fuel tank and on the battery cover as well as chrome shroud over the round headlight housing that still incorporates the two pilot lights sandwiching the main unit. It gets a staggered spoked-wheel setup with 19-inch at the front and 18-inch at the rear. The seats also feature an offset cushioning (low-set for the rider and higher for the pillion), the seat height (rider’s) is set at 800mm. As for the equipment and features, it gets LED headlamp and tail lamp, halogen turn signals and a USB Type-C charging point. There’s a part-digital and part-analogue instrument cluster borrowed from the Classic 650. As for safety it sports a dual-channel ABS setup.

As the name suggests, the new Bullet model is powered by a 647cc parallel twin engine and has a peak output of 46.3bhp at 7250rpm and 52.3Nm at 5650rpm. It is mated to a six-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch. The bike weighs 243kg with 90 per cent fuel and oil. There’s a 14.8-litre fuel tank. Chassis-wise, it gets a steel tubular spine frame, 43mm front telescopic fork with 120mm wheel travel. The rear suspension duties are carried out by twin shocks allowing for 90mm of wheel travel. Furthermore, it gets a 320mm disc at the front with a twin piston floating caliper, whereas the rear features a 300mm disc with a twin piston floating caliper.
