After some considerable period of testing the new 750cc engine, Royal Enfield has found it on the revised Interceptor 750.
For some time, Royal Enfield has been developing a 750cc engine. We saw the Interceptor 750 this time; we had seen the Himalayan 750 a few days before. This spy view verifies that it will include the new Tripper TFT, which also serves in the Himalayan 450 and the new Bear 650.
Based on the video uploaded on social media, which centers on the rear three-quarters of the test mule, we can clearly identify the Interceptor 750 on the test. The images also reveal the existence of the new TFT display, which was originally shown on the Himalayan 450. Dubbed the Tripper, this TFT features Bluetooth connections and full-screen Google Maps. Using a joystick on the left side of the handlebar, one can traverse these menus and mimic the rider’s phone calls, messages, music, and phone contact.
Mechanically, the 47 hp and 52.3 Nm output of the 648 cc motor is less than that of the Interceptor 750. The sole 650 twin with more torque at 56.5 Nm is the Bear 650, which runs on a two-into-one exhaust.
The Continental GT and Himalayan 750 test mule had two front discs, and we hope the Interceptor will have that arrangement as well. Though the suspension gear is the same—a telescopic fork up front and twin shock absorbers at the back—the shocks are linear-rate springs, unlike the progressive ones seen on the modern Interceptor 650.
Spotted with a circular LED taillamp and indicators, the Interceptor 750 It should also have the same round LED headlight provided on the departing Interceptor 650.
Starting from Rs 3.03 lakh (ex-showroom, India), the outgoing model costs less than we would have expected for the 750cc type.
