2019 Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 review | retro roadster a delight to ride in all situations

It’s not hard to get the feeling that the rise of Royal Enfield over the next decade and beyond will be an inexorable one.

You could easily make that judgement from afar, but after we made a lighting trip to the company’s research and development facility in England a few years ago, followed by the unveiling of the new parallel-twin engine platform in Milan, that sense of big things on the horizon was palpable.

Then in 2018, Bikesales rode the Interceptor 650 and Continental GT650, the first two beneficiaries of the parallel twin engine – and there will undoubtedly be more models to come – at the international launch in Santa Cruz.

The feedback was exceptional – we’d have to say far better than we expected – which amounted to a real a real paradigm shift for the iconic Indian-based company in terms of stopping, going and handling.
