Royal Enfield has been working on a 750cc engine for quite some time. We had spotted the Himalayan 750 a few days back, and this time around, we've seen the Interceptor 750. This spy shot confirms that it will feature the new Tripper TFT, which also does duty in the Himalayan 450 and the new Bear 650.
- Gets a dual disc setup at the front
- Features new TFT as the Himalayan 450, Bear 650
- Gets all-LED lighting
Royal Enfield Interceptor 750 details
We've spotted the Interceptor 750 on test and we can make out a lot of details via the video shared on social media, which focuses on the rear three quarters of the test mule. The shots also disclose the presence of the new TFT display, which first debuted with the Himalayan 450. This TFT, dubbed the Tripper, supports full screen Google Maps and Bluetooth connectivity. The display is also capable of mirroring the rider’s phone call, messages and music, and these menus can be navigated using a joy stick situated on the left side of the handle bar.
Mechanically, the Interceptor 750's output is expected more than the 648cc motor's 47hp and 52.3Nm. The Bear 650 (which uses a two-into-one exhaust) is the only 650 twin that makes more torque at 56.5Nm.
We had spotted dual front discs in the Continental GT and Himalayan 750 test mule, and we expect the Interceptor to get that setup too. While the suspension hardware is the same – telescopic fork up front and twin shock absorbers at the rear – the shocks are linear-rate springs, unlike the progressive ones seen on the current Interceptor 650.
The Interceptor 750 has been spotted with a round LED tail-lamp and indicators. We also expect it to feature the same round LED headlight that's offered on the outgoing Interceptor 650.
The outgoing model starts from Rs 3.03 lakh (ex-showroom, India) and we expect the 750cc model to cost more.
