Royal Enfield Interceptor

Royal Enfield Interceptor Overview

The Interceptor suits buyers looking for a large-capacity petrol bike for weekend rides and highway trips, with enough power to make longer journeys a natural use. Its 47 bhp, 52 Nm engine works with a six-speed manual gearbox, while disc brakes at both ends and dual-channel ABS add braking support. A pillion seat, footrests and grab rail are included.

The trade-offs are its 218 kg kerb weight, 804 mm seat height and 23 kmpl claimed mileage; these are worth weighing up for regular city use, shorter riders and running costs. Against the BSA Gold Star 650, the Interceptor makes more power but has lower claimed mileage. Its entry variant is priced below the Bullet 650, while still offering a 648 cc engine and dual-channel ABS.
