Royal Enfield Bear 650 – Scrambler Heritage, Built on Instinct

If you’re searching for information on the Royal Enfield Bear 650, or looking for a modern scrambler motorcycle in the UK, the Bear 650 stands apart as one of the most characterful new middleweight machines available today. Blending authentic heritage with proven modern engineering, the Bear 650 is designed for riders who value feel, balance, and real-world usability.

Available now at Moonraker Motorcycles, Norwich, the Bear 650 represents a new chapter in Royal Enfield’s 650cc lineup — one that leans heavily into scrambler DNA while remaining practical for everyday riding.

Inspired by Scrambler Racing Heritage

The Royal Enfield Bear 650 takes direct inspiration from the legendary Big Bear Run of the 1960s, a defining moment in early desert racing. It also pays tribute to racing icon “Fast Eddie” Mulder, whose fearless approach shaped the spirit of off-road competition.

This heritage isn’t just visual. The Bear 650 has been engineered to feel purposeful and capable, echoing the stripped-back, go-anywhere attitude that made classic scramblers so appealing.

Engine & Performance – Royal Enfield 650 Twin

At the heart of the Bear 650 is Royal Enfield’s well-proven 648cc parallel twin engine, producing approximately 47 bhp at 7,150 rpm and 56.5 Nm of torque. This Euro 5+ compliant motor is shared across the 650 range and is widely praised for its smooth delivery, reliability, and strong mid-range performance.

On the road, the Bear 650 feels relaxed and confident. It pulls cleanly from low revs, cruises comfortably at motorway speeds, and remains engaging on twisty B-roads — exactly what most UK riders need from a real-world scrambler motorcycle.

Chassis, Suspension & Handling

The Bear 650 is built on a robust steel frame, tuned specifically for mixed-surface riding. A 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel combination, paired with dual-purpose tyres, delivers stability on tarmac while allowing confidence on gravel and broken surfaces.

Suspension duties are handled by Showa USD Big Piston forks at the front, offering excellent control and feedback. Combined with 184mm of ground clearance, the Bear 650 is well suited to poor road surfaces, country lanes, and light off-road use.

Scrambler Styling with Purpose

From the high-mounted exhaust to the minimalist bodywork, the Bear 650 looks authentic because it is authentic. Design details such as the competition-style number board, wide handlebars, and upright riding position reinforce its scrambler intent.

The Bear 650 is available in standout colourways including:

• Petrol Green

• Golden Shadow

• Two Four Nine Edition, a special version inspired by desert racing culture

Each finish highlights the bike’s rugged personality without relying on unnecessary styling gimmicks.

Technology & Rider Aids

While rooted in heritage, the Bear 650 includes modern features where they matter most:

• Tripper Dash with Google Maps navigation

• Full LED lighting for improved visibility

• USB-C charging port

• Switchable ABS for added control on loose surfaces

These features ensure the Bear 650 remains practical for daily riding, touring, and weekend adventures.

Comfort & Practicality

With a seat height of 830mm, the Bear 650 offers a commanding yet accessible riding position. The upright ergonomics reduce fatigue on longer journeys, while the 13.7-litre fuel tank provides a practical touring range for UK riding.

Weighing approximately 214–216 kg (wet/kerb), the bike feels planted on the move and easy to manage at low speeds.
