2026 Royal Enfield Bullet 650

For the first time since its debut in 1932, the legendary Royal Enfield Bullet takes a major step into the future. The model – proudly holding the title of the world’s longest-running motorcycle in continuous production – has always been powered by traditional single-cylinder engines of 346 or 499 cc… until now.

After 93 years, the Bullet receives an entirely new powertrain and its largest engine to date. The familiar air- and oil-cooled 648 cc parallel twin – shared with the Interceptor, Shotgun, and Classic 650 – now finds its place within the iconic frame. The result is a motorcycle that retains its timeless character while delivering a smoother, stronger, and more refined riding experience than ever before.

The design is unmistakably Bullet: a classic teardrop fuel tank with hand-painted pinstriping, chrome accents, and that iconic silhouette. At the same time, it’s fully modernised with LED lighting, updated instrumentation, and standard ABS at both ends. Comfort has also been enhanced with a new steel frame and upgraded suspension, providing greater stability in city riding as well as on longer stretches of open road.

The new Bullet 650 marks a milestone for Royal Enfield — a harmonious blend of tradition and technology, where a storied name meets a new generation of riders.
