Royal Enfield Classic 650 125th anniversary edition: What’s special?

Strictly cosmetic, with exclusive Hypershift detailing

The Classic 650 Hypershift is mechanically identical to the production-spec Classic 650. There are no changes to the underlying design either. What sets it apart, primarily, is the bespoke Hypershift finish that transforms between shades of red, green and gold as light moves across the motorcycle. Complementing the finish are the additional 125-year crest on the teardrop tank, special badging on the side panels and, of course, hand-painted pinstripes.

The Classic 650 was first launched in 2025, sharing the 648cc, air-cooled parallel twin with the Interceptor 650 and the likes, making 47hp and 52.3Nm. It has a chassis that’s derived from the Super Meteor 650, currently the most expensive Royal Enfield 650 at Rs 4.39 lakh. While the Super Meteor has a USD fork, the Classic swaps that for RSU (right side up) telescopic fork and reduces the twin shock’s travel from 101mm to 90mm.
