Royal Enfield BEAR 650

Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650

A road scrambler with a sixties soul. Inspired by the Big Bear Run in the Californian desert. Fuelled by gut feel, powered by the acclaimed Royal Enfield parallel twin. The Bear 650 embodies the spirit of a 16-year-old rookie who, in 1960, lined up alongside hundreds of sideburned hopefuls, all hungry to win the wildest race the Californian desert had ever known—the Big Bear Run.

SCRAMBLE IN STYLE.

Inspired by a legendary race in the Californian desert, every nut, bolt and stitch on the Bear is a tribute to its badass, bad-roader heritage. Whether the road gets good, bad or ugly, you will scramble in style.

LOOKS AS GOOD AS IT FEELS

This canyon carver features upsidedown forks on the front suspension promising complete confidence and control on open roads, graded trails and broken tarmac.

FUELLED BY THE GUT

Fuelled by the gut and powered by Royal Enfield’s proven 650cc parallel twin engine. Cased in a highly durable, premium black finish, it looks rugged and purposeful, amplifying the Scrambler attitude.

CONFIDENCE AND CONTROL

Chunky dual purpose tyres are a key scrambler feature. They provide more grip on loose surfaces without losing confidence on tarmac. The open square tread blocks give a retro flavour.

THE BEAR 650 BACKSTORY

In 1960, the unforgiving Mojave Desert served as a backdrop for the Big Bear Run; the biggest, baddest race the Californian desert had ever witnessed. With no rules, roads or tech, and only cacti and coyotes for spectators, alongside 765 other riders, Eddie Mulder, shocked the racing world as he surged first across the finish line in 4-hrs and 21-minutes, igniting a legacy that reverberates through the ages. Astride his 500cc Royal Enfield Fury and fueled by instinct, unwavering determination and gut, Eddie was one among only 197 who made it to the end of the finish line.

Sixty-four years later, that fearless spirit has sparked the inspiration for a motorcycle that embodies that indomitable grit and determination in its soul – the new Royal Enfield Bear 650, a stylish and versatile scrambler. Designed for riders who trust their instinct and stand out from the rest, the Bear 650 is more than just a motorcycle – it is a journey, a statement, and a reminder to follow your gut. With its versatile capabilities, robust engineering, and distinct scrambler aesthetic, the Bear 650 is poised to redefine the riding experience for ‘scrambler-ers’ across the globe, inviting them to forge their own path, one ride at a time.
