According to a recent media claim, the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 will soon get new colour schemes and alloy wheels with tubeless tyres. The changes might come in the shape of additional versions marketed alongside the existing wire-spoke wheel type. The tubeless alloy wheels will enhance the riding pleasure. The OBD2 emission-compliant engine is also expected in the upgraded RE Interceptor 650 and Continental GT.

The RE Interceptor 650 is now available for between Rs 2.9 lakh and Rs 3.14 lakh. Other modifications to the bike are unlikely.

The RE 650cc is now available with a 648cc, 4-stroke, air-cooled, SOHC engine. The engine produces 47.45PS at 7,150rpm and 52Nm of torque at 5,250rpm. A 6-speed gearbox handles transmission responsibilities. The RE Interceptor 650 is available in six different colours: Ventura Blue, Orange Crush, Downtown Drag, Canyon Red, Sunset Strip, and Baker Express. The Continental GT 650 is available in six different paint jobs: Rocker Red, Dux Deluxe, British Racing Green, Black Magic, Mister Clean, and Ventura Storm.
