EICMA: 2026 Royal Enfield Bullet 650

The Bullet 650 brings Royal Enfield’s 650cc parallel twin to the company’s most enduring nameplate, combining modern performance with the brand’s hallmark classic styling.

The LAMS-approved Bullet 650 joins the single-cylinder Bullet 350 in Royal Enfield’s line-up, extending the long-running model name into the twin-cylinder range for the first time.

Developed on the same platform as the Interceptor, Continental GT and Super Meteor, the new model retains the Bullet’s signature upright stance, stepped seat and teardrop tank with hand-painted pinstriping while introducing LED lighting and a mixed analogue-digital instrument cluster.

Powered by the firm’s 647.95cc air- and oil-cooled SOHC parallel twin, the Bullet 650 produces 34.6kW (46.4hp) at 7250rpm and 52.3Nm at 5650rpm. It employs a six-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch and electronic fuel injection, and uses a steel tubular spine frame supported by a non-adjustable 43mm telescopic fork offering 120mm of travel and preload-adjustable twin rear shocks good for 90mm of movement.

Braking is managed by 320mm front and 300mm rear discs with dual-channel ABS and the 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels are shod in 100- and 140-section rubber respectively.

Key dimensions include a 1475mm wheelbase, 154mm ground clearance and an accessible 800mm seat height. The Bullet 650 carries a 14.8-litre fuel tank and weighs a not-insignificant 243kg in running order.

The design keeps true to the model’s heritage, featuring a casquette-mounted LED headlamp flanked by the ‘tiger-eye’ pilot lights, wire-spoked rims and a stepped bench seat.

Available in Cannon Black and Battleship Blue, the Bullet 650 represents a new chapter for a model that first appeared in 1932, and will become the brand’s seventh model to be based on the 650cc twin platform when it hits Australian shores next year.
