As an interceptor owner, this should just be the replacement for the int. Better looking, better suspension and better rider’s triangle. Perfect upgrade to the INT. But also, this isn’t really a scram so year, INT update.
RE already have better product than triumph 400x (i.e guerrilla). If you want to compare then compare it with guerrilla. These 650s are not the competition
@@cosmicnomad9324 ain't guerrilla the scrambled version of himalayan 452? And what makes that 400x scrambler? That's just the design nothing much has been done there
The RE 650 platform doesn't look like it should be for scrambling. This seems to be quite heavy for this purpose. A futile attempt by Royal Enfield, just to roll out as many bike options on the 650 platform as possible
Understand this that when you buy a stock 650 and then upgrade with all sort of modifications to it and eventually the price goes up. Bear 650 comes with a alot of new features, if you do the same changes on a stock 650 it will be more expensive because of aftermarket products. So the pricing is at point here.
Was eager to have a look into this and book one maybe but that weight is a deal breaker for me! Come one RE, you cannot just call a 216kg motorcycle a scrambler and assume one can have fun with that!
@@ractmo ok what's the logic with a motorcycle with 150bhp and 250kg weight? Dude weight is weight just don't hate RE blindly. I critsize RE a lot and am not a fanboy of RE
Actually it lost nothing because when you mount the missing center stand it will weigh the same as the interceptor.Which is just fine.Light enough for gravel and two track but heavy enough to feel solid on the highway. The winds of the great plains in the United States are quite extreme and the wind belt can be 3 or 4 hundred miles wide.
@@deltabluesdavidraye it seems it gained weight , there is dual exhaust on interceptor and this has one 😂 we dont have RE 650 series here in nepal so spnt know much
Royal Enfield needs their products to be improved it's not a scrambler instead of launching new models focus on technical specifications, competitive brands etc
Did I miss something. You said it's the 6th motorcycle I can only remember 5 including bear650 Interceptor 650 Gt650 Supermeteor 650 Shotgun 650 N bear 650
i can only think of 4 650 cc bikes from RE. GT Shotgun Super Meteor Interceptor and now the 5th Bear how come you said 6th? is the classic 650 confirmed?
Gyus please make a video on jawa 42 fj i am sitting on the money waiting for powerdrift to see what varun have to say little confused between triumph t4 and jawa 42fj then after knowing what to look in test ride and a last test ride back to back of both bikes waiting to book one will be my first bike so waiting as long as possible dpnt want things to go haywire
This is another lifestyle bike. Cannot do any scrambler stuff it just looks like one. Just get the Himalayan if someone wants to go offroading India is heaven for offroading enthusiasts lots mountains and trails not to mention our pothole roads for which Himalayan is just better.
Nope that's just your opinion. And if you want to compare the triumph 400x then compare it with guerrilla. And this 650 looks way more sexier than both of those machines
just because it's name is scrambler does not mean its a genuine scrambler you cant even compare this motorcycle with scrambler 400x this motorcycle is much better than scrambler 400x
People need to realise, this is a Scrambler style road bike.. like the Husky Svartpilen.. few people shall take it ' scrambling '...
As long as it can do soft roading comfortably, we are good
@@powerdriftofficialwhat is soft roading? I’ve never heard that term
If it tackles Kolkata roads at 60 kmph, you know its a proper scrambler
I disagree this bike is made for U.S. market it will be all over two track dirt and gravel
@@paulcregan4647 Riding on most Indian roads, especially after rains have done a number, would count as soft roading.

Makes sense! 👍
Royal infield is tensed by many company's new bikes and launching ool jalool bikes
Triump Scrambler 400x is much more better in all aspects than RE BEAR 650
Definitely what I thought.
How so ?
RE already have better product than triumph 400x (i.e guerrilla). If you want to compare then compare it with guerrilla. These 650s are not the competition

No motorcycle is perfect … nice said @ 7:29
216kg is a joke! Also the proce tag means it isnt teslly vfm RE bike, rather go for the Scram400x, its kickass!
6 ? Yes including Classic 650 !
But including Bear Its 5th in 650 cc lineup !
Interceptor
Continental
Super meteor
Shotgun
Bear
Ofcourse including the C650
should've used the sherpa platform for a scrambler... the twin platform can never be made light enough for a scrambler. It's too much metal.
We are sure they are working on something in that category too
Are you living under a rock dude? There's already guerilla out there based on sherpa platform
@@Anurag-er5xqguerrila is not a scrambler
@@satyamdd2381 then what is it? It's just a scrambled up himalayan 452
@Anurag-er5xq bruh it's a roadster
A scrambler has 19 inch front wheels
On the Guerilla it's 17 inches
The bike looks great, it would have been a really good scrambler if they had gotten the weight down to something between 200- 208kgs.
At that price a KTM ADV bike will be more value for money practical bike to own.
With that weight, no bike should be called a scrambler
Wish yamaha brought some good classic retro looking competitors.
Should a scrambler be this heavy?
We don’t think so
Do you have 4lakh? I don't think so
Hey man what's the problem he just asked a valid question?@@jalalkhan9868
always love your review.... REgiving lots of option on 650 now
Royal Enfield needs their products to be improved it's not a scrambler instead of launching new models focus on technical specifications, competitive brands etc
Maybe RE can reuse their old 500cc engine to create a lightweight scrambler
Did I miss something. You said it's the 6th motorcycle
I can only remember 5 including bear650
Interceptor 650
Gt650
Supermeteor 650

Saved your time.
It is a practical interceptor.
i can only think of 4 650 cc bikes from RE.

Shotgun
Super Meteor

how come you said 6th?
is the classic 650 confirmed?
6:52 *5th motorcycle!
6th motorcycle. Classic 650

Classic 650
So the pegs are still awkwardly places where they hit shins when you put feet down?
The look of this is crazy good ! But my Scram 411 does more scrambling.
Dual front disc interceptor launch date ????
Great insights, Varun... Curious - did you go through the difficult process of getting a motorcycle driving licence in the US for this shoot?
This one is going to be an emotional purchase for most….but so are most RE except Himalyan
It would have been great if it had Double Disc in front, tubeless spokes
Does the top speed had increased in bear 650 or not ❤

We'll see what we can do. 😉
They should have atleast named it as Mulder 650
Royalty, legal etc
what about vibration ?
Not even RE fans going to pay 4lakh for this bear 🐨
When in EU?
Ducati 800cc Scrambler 2025 model is 170kg dry. Come on RE!
This is the first time I got my eyes on an RE motorcycle.
Is there any hype?

Just get the Himalayan if someone wants to go offroading
India is heaven for offroading enthusiasts lots mountains and trails not to mention our pothole roads for which Himalayan is just better.
re's 50 shades of 650s
😅
If i were to buy interceptor 650cc and modify it into a scrambler, it would be this bear 650.
We need a 350cc scram 🥹
Get a Hunter, there’s a billion mods to make it a scrambler
That engine is not a Scram engine
Hunter🌚 be like : they don't even consider my presence
my scrambler400x is way more sexier
Looks are subjective but yeah, that feels more Scrambler
Nope that's just your opinion. And if you want to compare the triumph 400x then compare it with guerrilla. And this 650 looks way more sexier than both of those machines
dont compare Single with a twin
front rake...???
Front forks Approaching angle
It's not a scrambler, just the looks
Okay, what is a scrambler brother?
This is how scrambler looks😂. You are genuinely misunderstood by the shagy makers😂
@@soundharsks3 an ADV minus the nostalgia
Seems like a stretch to call it a scrambler
my heart is still in the og🥺
I just hope and pray in the years to come cars dont follow graphics and paint scheme of royal Enfield with rainbow colors graphic here and there
Hunter ❤.is the most valuable player in royal Enfield
VFM
Muqaddar ka Sikandar look😅
Attractive pricing
Good no?
A Marketing Gimmick
Tubeless kyu nahi?
I am confused between this and the new KTM ADV 390...
As an Interceptor owner, let me ask you WHY???? They’re night and day apart! Test ride and you’ll know what you like. You there’s zero overlap
It's a tough choice, they're very different!
What's the helmet?
That’s the KYT NZ-Race
sadly the pegs come in your way on 400x too
Ummm. We don’t recollect any such experience
Nice review 👍🏼
3.39 lacks for this shit😂😂😂
4 lakhs for this?? "Decent bike" but Nah !!!! Rather add few more and get a better machine !
Few or lot more

Why do you always criticize Indian roads? At least now we have good roads
Only National Highways are good

650s are not that impressive when it comes to overall handling.
Or you're just a noob
@i_observe9846 do you even know who am I ? And which motorcycles do I ride? Stop being judgemental.
This is not a scrambler 😅😅😅look how you are standing 😅😅

not a scrambler... not even close
Maybe needed to lose a bit more weight?
