Peon Maface Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Royal Enfield announced a new cruiser model featuring the 648cc Parallel-Twin engine that also powers the Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650. The new Super Meteor 650, and the Super Meteor 650 Grand Tourer variant, The air-cooled engine claims an output of 46.4 hp at 7,250 rpm and 38.6 lb-ft. at 5,650 rpm, which are about the same peak figures claimed by the other 650 models, but the Super Meteor gets there a little higher on rev range. We’d have to see a dyno chart to be sure, but we suspect the changes were made to create a broader torque curve. The engine is mounted to a new steel tubular spine frame created by Harris Performance for a lower center of gravity and to optimize stability and handling. Up front, the Super Meteor 650 uses a 43mm inverted fork with 4.7 inches of travel, and at the back, it uses twin preload-adjustable shocks with 4.0 inches of travel, which is pretty good for a cruiser. The Super Meteor uses a single Bybre twin-piston floating caliper for both the front and rear wheels, with a 320mm rotor up front and a 300 mm rotor at the back. A two-channel ABS comes standard. Up front, the Super Meteor uses a 19-inch wheel while a 16-inch wheel is at the back. Both come with tubeless tires. The instrument cluster looks similar to the one on the smaller Meteor 350 model, with two round units. The larger one has an analog speedometer and an inset LCD screen while the other is a color display with Royal Enfield’s Tripper navigation system powered by Google Maps. Other features include an LED headlight and taillight, a USB Type-A port, a low 29.1-inch seat height, a 4.1-gallon fuel tank and a claimed curb weight of 531 pounds. The Grand Tour adds a windshield, two seat saddle with passenger backrest, The 2023 Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 will be offered in Astral Black, Astral Blue, Astral Green, Intersteller Gray or Intersteller Green. The Grand Tourer version comes in either Celestial Red or Celestial Blue. 2023 Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 Specifications Engine Type Parallel-Twin, 4 stroke, SOHC, Air-Oil Cooled Displacement 648cc Bore x Stroke 78 mm x 67.8 mm Compression Ratio 9.5 : 1 Horsepower 46.4 hp at 7,250 rpm (claimed) Torque 38.6 lb-ft. at 5,650 rpm (claimed) Clutch Wet, multi-plate Transmission 6 Speed constant mesh Fuel Supply Electronic Fuel Injection Air Cleaner Paper element Starter Electric Frame Type Steel Tubular Spine Frame Front Suspension 43mm Upside Down Telescopic Fork, 4.7 inches travel Rear Suspension Twin Shocks, 4.0 inches travel, preload adjustable Battery 12 volt, 12 Ah, VRLA Head Lamp FPL 1.55 W LED Tail Lamp 2.5 W, LED Charging Port USB 2.0 Type A – 5V 2A Output Front Tire 100/90 – 19 M/C 57H (Tubeless Type) Rear Tire 150/80 B16 M/C 71H (Tubeless Type) Front Brake Single 320mm disc, twin piston floating caliper Rear Brake Single 300mm disc, twin piston floating caliper ABS Dual Channel Wheelbase 59.1 inches Ground Clearance 5.3 inches Length 89.0 inches Width 35.0 inches (without mirrors) Height 45.5 inches Seat Height 29.1 inches Curb Weight 531.3 pounds (claimed) Fuel Capacity 4.1 gallons Become a Motorcycle.com insider.
