A new Royal Enfield motorcycle has been spotted testing. Going by the spy shot, it seems that it’s a variant of the highly popular Interceptor 650. Could it be a 350cc model? The spy picture shows the rear end of the motorcycle. The entire taillight setup, including the turn indicators, is identical to that of the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650.
The rear fender and pillion grab rail are
also familiar. We also see the golden gas canister of the rear suspension along
with the rear footpegs. What makes us believe that this prototype could be of a
new variant of the Interceptor 650 and not the Continental GT 650 is the fact
that the rider is sitting upright. This riding stance resembles that of the
Interceptor 650.
The most interesting element that the spy
shot reveals is the side-mounted single exhaust. The Interceptor 650 has a
dual-exhaust setup, that too finished in chrome. This prototype here features a
single blacked-out exhaust which looks somewhat similar to that of the Royal
Enfield Himalayan. The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 is the first motorcycle from
the company to be based on the brand’s all-new 350cc platform which includes a
brand-new 350cc engine, gearbox, double-cradle chassis and frame. Royal Enfield
will use this platform in its future models.
