Royal Enfield has announced that the much-awaited Super Meteor 650 will be showcased at EICMA in Milan on November 8 at 4 PM.
Royal Enfield has posted a teaser image of the upcoming Super Meteor, in which the rear tire of Pirelli Phantom Sportscomp is used in the bike. The latest test mule spotted outside Chennai, however, showed it to be running Ceat Zoom Cruise tyres, like the rest of RE’s 650cc line-up. It will be interesting to see what Rubber RE eventually does with the production version, and whether it will vary depending on the market.
The teaser image also gives a rough idea of the instrumentation on the super meteor, which looks very similar to the smaller Meteor 350. Housing an analog speedometer is a large offset dial, with a digital inset for travel-related information. Along with this dial, a tripper navigation pod was seen, which is likely to be offered as an optional accessory. The standalone round tail-lamp with peripheral LED DRLs is what gives it away as being a Super Meteor, which very closely matches the Meteor 350’s design.
Interestingly, RE’s literature indicates that it is showing only one new motorcycle at EICMA this year, suggesting that perhaps the Shotgun 650 is still some time away. As far as India is concerned, the Super Meteor can be expected to make its homeland debut in Rider Mania 2022, which is scheduled to take place between November 18-20 in Goa.
