Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 Spied Testing Abroad, Gets Suspension Updates
Royal Enfield has been spotted testing the Super Meteor 650 abroad. The test mule seems to be an updated version of the twin-cylinder cruiser. Royal Enfield will launch the updated Super Meteor 650 soon.
Suspension Updates
The most noticeable change on the test mule is the addition of progressive rear shocks. Previously, the Super Meteor 650 had linear shocks. The Super Meteor 650 has a harsh rear suspension, compromising the rider’s experience.
There is also a suspension stroke measuring device for the Showa upside-down fork suspension setup, observable on the front. This indicates that the company is re-evaluating the suspension setup on both sides. The cruiser offers 120mm suspension travel in the front and 101mm travel in the rear as of present.
Updated Instrument Cluster
The instrument cluster of the test mule seems to be a makeshift unit. The Super Meteor 650 is the most expensive Royal Enfield and shares the instrument cluster with the Hunter 350, being the brand’s most affordable bike. Royal Enfield may add a TFT display, similar to the one seen on the Bear 650, Himalayan 450, and Guerrilla 450.
Expected Pricing
The Super Meteor 650 is expected to retain the same 648cc twin-cylinder engine, producing 47 HP and 52.3 NM of torque. The Super 650’s facelift may command a premium over the outgoing model because of the suspension updates. However, the status of the Super Meteor 650 being the most expensive Royal Enfield may not change.
