2025 Royal Enfield Bear 650 Review

The 2025 Royal Enfield Bear 650 adds scrambler styling and features to the INT 650 platform, offering a midsized scrambler option with Royal Enfield’s classic design and a starting price of less than $7K. Compared to the INT, the Bear features Showa suspension, a stiffer steering head, a 2-into-1 exhaust system, full LED lighting, and a circular TFT instrument panel.

We spent a day playing around on the Bear 650 in Palm Springs, California, and surrounding areas, putting the bike through its paces on street and on dirt. While the Bear’s power is modest, we enjoyed the bike’s total package of simplicity, accessibility, and style, and we suspect Royal Enfield customers will too.
