The year was 1960, and the California desert was the stage for a legendary race. The Big Bear Run, a lawless off-road extravaganza, attracted a staggering 766 riders. Among them was a 16 year old phenom named Eddie Mulder, who would etch his name in history by becoming the youngest champion.
Riding a Royal Enfield Fury 500cc, Mulder conquered the challenging terrain in just four hours and 21 minutes. Now, Royal Enfield pays homage to this iconic moment with the Bear 650, a scrambler inspired by the spirit of the ’60s.
Based on the Interceptor 650 platform, the Bear 650 boasts a revised chassis and frame while retaining the beloved parallel twin engine.
As EICMA 2023 approaches, the Bear 650 promises to steal the spotlight with its unique blend of classic style and modern performance. Royal Enfield pays homage to the legendary racer, Jack Pine, with the all-new Super Meteor 650.
This modern classic motorcycle boasts a powerful 650cc engine that delivers 46 horsepower and 56.5 Nm of torque, paired with a 2 in 1 exhaust system
The bike’s rugged off-road capabilities are enhanced by its 19 inch front and 17 inch rear wheels, both wrapped in dual-purpose tires and Showa suspension with 130mm of front travel and 115mm of rear travel.
The Super Meteor 650 offers a comfortable riding position with a scrambler style seat, wide handlebars, and neutrally positioned footpegs. Modern technology is integrated seamlessly, featuring a Tripper dashboard and a TFT screen with Google Maps integration.
Available in five striking colors, including the exclusive Two Four Nine honoring Pine’s racing legacy, the Super Meteor 650 is priced at $6,894 and is now available at dealerships.
