Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 vs Continental GT 650: Engine
Both motorcycles use a 648cc, air/oil-cooled parallel-twin engine that produces 47hp at 7,250rpm and 52.3Nm at 5,150rpm, and is paired with a six-speed gearbox. While the power figures are identical on paper, the riding experience of these bikes differs because of the ergonomics. The Interceptor’s upright seating position helps it come across as a more relaxed, versatile option than its sibling for both urban commuting and highway cruising. The Continental GT, with its sporty riding triangle, places the rider in an aggressive, forward-leaning position. That enhances engagement on twisty roads.
