Royal Enfield has officially launched the highly anticipated Classic 650 in the Philippines, bringing the legendary silhouette of the Classic series in a powerful new form. Priced from PHP 429,000, the Classic 650 delivers timeless design with modern performance, powered by the brand’s acclaimed 648cc parallel twin engine. Staying true to the unmistakable design DNA of the Classic line, the motorcycle boasts elegant lines, signature teardrop fuel tank, and vintage aesthetics that pay homage to Royal Enfield’s post-war British motorcycle heritage.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Classic 650 features modern enhancements such as a digital LCD dash, LED headlamp with classic ‘tiger lamps,’ and a plush ergonomic seat for long-haul comfort. The twin-cylinder engine offers smooth low-end torque, refined gear shifts, and agile handling, making it equally capable in city traffic or open highways. Suspension from Showa and wider tires enhance ride stability, while the chassis shared with the Super Meteor and Shotgun 650 ensures a solid and responsive riding feel.
Visually, the Classic 650 balances retro charm with a dynamic stance. Its shorter fenders, chromed trafficators, and flowing bodywork create an elegant yet robust presence. Riders can personalize their motorcycles through Genuine Motorcycle Accessories in Classic and Classic Tourer themes. Notably, Royal Enfield brings back iconic colorways from the Classic 500—Teal Green (PHP 435,000), Vallam Red (PHP 429,000), and the striking Black Chrome (PHP 445,000)—each paired with a three-year unlimited mileage warranty.
Royal Enfield, through its strong partnership with MSI, has seen remarkable growth in the Philippines, achieving a 295% sales increase in 2024 and expanding its dealership network from four to ten branches across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The launch of the Classic 650 reflects the brand’s deep connection with Filipino riders and its continued commitment to offering motorcycles that celebrate both heritage and innovation.
