Super Meteor 650 Design
One of the main aspects of a cruiser is its riding position. And the Super Meteor is as far as it gets under the 700cc segment. The bike comes with a fully feet-forward foot controls, a low scalloped seat, and wide pulled-back handlebars. Royal Enfield claims all these design changes will let the rider feel they are part of their motorcycle. Super Meteor 650 Chassis

USD forks, LED headlamps, a TBT navigation system and redesigned engine covers are some of the notable additions.

Siddhartha Lal, Managing Director of Eicher Motors Ltd. said, “We have always had a differentiated approach to building motorcycles and our new cruiser, the Super Meteor 650, is the next evolution of this approach. Inspired by our own long distance riding experiences and those of our customers, we have built the Super Meteor to be absolutely enjoyable to all senses. The engine is super refined and responsive and offers relaxed part-throttle experience at highway-plus speeds, the riding ergonomics are fine-tuned to offer a leisurely, yet in-control riding experience, and the overall premium fit-finish of parts and materials evoke visual and sensory delight. The gorgeous silhouette and contours of the Super Meteor have been inspired by generations of cruisers from Royal Enfield, and are at the same time, familiar, yet absolutely distinct.”
