Thanks Neil

Did not find any such notice at the SVC. Asked for details of the complaints procedure. Was told it was to talk with the Service Manager. Talked with the Service Manager who did not readily understand my complaint (language problem?). Will email him with the unfulfilled warranty claim and several other issues and update here.

RE has come on top as best manufacturer on the basis of the engine oil test done on the Twins.

Kudos to RE! We should be proud.

Thanks for a great video. F9 is one of my favorites. Top notch content and insane production values. He sneaks in sarcastic quips subtly and I can't stop laughing. One of the gems "Harley Davidson tolerances are measured in feet..."

2021 RE Interceptor 650 & GT650 Launched From Rs. 3.17 L To Rs. 3.58 L

The Interceptor 650 also gets blacked-out rims and mudguards in the single-tone colour options now, which was previously limited to the dual-tone colours, with the exception of Orange Crush. Alloy wheels and Tripper navigation aren’t offered on the RE 650 Twins, however, the manufacturer will be offering them as official accessories very soon.

The new colors are now updated on royal Enfield website

Canyon Red


Downtown Drag


Mark 2


Sunset Strip


Ventura Blue


New Continental Colors

British Racing Green


Rocker Red


Ventura Storm


Dux Deluxe


Basically in typical RE fashion just new colors, and nothing else. Was expecting them to atleast integrate Tripper Navigation, and come up with alloy model as an option. Guess continue to wait for the accessory to launch by end of the year.

Royal Enfield's expertise only lies in paint schemes, when it comes to updating the motorcycles. Same was seen in case of recently launched Himalayan as well. While Himalayan got the Tripper pod from factory (which looks like a local mechanic job), the continental twins are even devoid of that.
Customers and reviewers have mentioned that suspension, seat, lighting and tubeless rims are required to make this bike enjoyable and complete.
Customers would have happily paid for these meaningful updates rather than price hike in the aid of new colour schemes.

I must say I am rather disappointed with this update. I was really expecting RE to include tripper navigation with the 650 twins. Heck, even the cheaper Himalayan gets it. Also, RE should have launched alloy wheels as an option. New colors look great, especially the Rocker Red on the GT and the Sunset Strip on the Interceptor, but the fact that Royal Enfield did not address some of the minor yet disturbing flaws is disappointing.

Interceptor owners, is there any possibility of retrofitting the Meteor's speedometer on the Interceptor? Would like to see a DIY of the same if possible.

Can someone confirm if the ergonomic niggles in previous version are fixed now?
I am planning to buy one and not too much concerned about new features. 650 twins were solid right from the beginning and that is a rare achievement for any manufacturer.

What a terrible disappointment. Even all dealers were confirmed that trip navigator is confirmed. But RE is more interested in adding new colours and Touring seat version 2. That's it.

No other changes than the colours.
In the last 1 year of ownership I have learnt to adapt to the rider footpegs, and installed a handlebar riser, not a huge deal for me though.

Any news how does this seat compare to the previous version sir.

And to add to it you have to pay more for new colors and touring seat version 2 is an accessory and not a standard fitment. The price hike would have made sense if they had trip navigator or atleast made some basic changes to make ride comfortable for pillion. The prices just keep rising for everything in India.

Don't think anything has changed except the colors.

[corvus corax]

I for one would really love an Interceptor in red colour. But from the picture it doesn't look too different from an orange crush? Maybe in real life it would look better.
And I agree with others. For a two year old flagship bike REs updates are just dismal. Have been waiting for an alloy wheel upgrade like ever since.

[Balaji31582]

Ok. If I can read RE's think tank minds, they will give all these alloys, trip navigator, etc in their much anticipated cruiser version as default to position it as "premium" in their 650 stable. If the market is not going to treat it as RE expects, we can immediately see a "all new accessories" launched for GT and INT . Or worst case these could be surprise offerings during navarathri or deepavali. Why give more and decrease ROI when things are going fine?

Seeing how much engineering in product design actually goes into RE, except the engine anything else they introduce should be an easy retrofit. Just that the fact that you can get it company fit just makes the deal sweeter, though the chance of that falling off the bike is much higher then the retrofit
