Royal Enfield Super Meteor in two flavors

The Super Meteor has a 650cc upright twin-cylinder engine. It is the same block as in the Royal Enfield Continental GT and the Interceptor 650. Now that powerhouse serves a cruiser with a low seating position and forward-facing footrests. The Tourer version of the Super Meteor 650 is a bit more comfort-oriented with a high windshield and a more luxurious saddle, including a backrest for the passenger.

Super Meteor 650 classically lined

You can see from everything that Royal Enfield meticulously determined the design. The classic teardrop-shaped tank and color schemes (choice of 7!) are some of the features that define the retro look. The chrome mufflers also fit the cruiser genre, as do the many other chrome details.

Thick rear wheel and slender large front wheel

The fat rear tire with 16-inch rim is also part of a cruiser. What is different is the relatively large 19-inch front wheel. This usually provides more stability at higher speeds. So it could just be that this Super Meteor 650 handles quite flashy and spry for a cruiser. The upside down fork will contribute to that.

Minimalist cockpit

The cockpit is minimalist with a circular analog speedometer and within it an LCD display for RPM, gear indicator, fuel content, kl0k and trip meter. Handy: the levers for brake and clutch are adjustable. Nice: on the steering wheel halves, the control units are chrome-plated.

Google Maps

New for Royal Enfield is the LED headlight. Of particular note is the ability to connect the Google Maps-based Royal Enfield Tripper navigation system to your smartphone. So when you put it in a cradle, you have a navigation screen on board and with always up-to-date map data from Google.

Price and specs

The price is from 9,499 euros. The 648cc engine produces 34.6 kW (47 hp) and 52.3 Nm of torque. The driving weight is 241 kg and the seat height is low, namely 740 mm. So it is ideal for smaller riders who like to have both feet firmly on the ground.
