Royal Enfield is all set to launch the new Super Meteor 650 in the Indian market soon but is also believed to be working on many other 650cc bikes for India including a 650cc Scrambler model. The production-ready test mule of the upcoming Scrambler 650 was recently spied on test in India and here are all the details you should check out.
Design and Looks
The new Royal Enfield Scrambler 650 will likely be offered with a subtle and elegant design language and will get a single-piece saddle, wire-spoke wheels, a single upswept exhaust, round lights, and a retro theme complemented by a tear-drop-shaped fuel tank. More details are yet to be known about the styling of the bike.

The suspension setup will consist of USD forks at the front and dual-shock absorbers at the rear.
