Royal Enfield Bear 650 — Engine specifications
The Royal Enfield Bear 650 uses the same 650cc twin-cylinder oil-cooled unit that makes 47bhp mated to a six-speed gearbox. However, the engine makes more torque compared to the Interceptor 650 and Royal Enfield has achieved this by giving the motorcycle a two-into-one exhaust system. This not only gives more torque, but also shaves considerable weight.
