Scramblers can run high or low level exhausts - there are no hard and fast rules here. We chose to specify The Bear with a low level silencer in order to allow for easy fitment of soft luggage and to reduce discomfort for our customers from heat transferred to the right leg.

No. Tubeless is not a feature or an option available for this motorcycle.

The Bear 650 is powered by our proven 650-Twin engine, tuned for more torque over other Twins models, delivering an exhilarating riding experience.Thanks to suspension from Showa, as well as bespoke tyre and chassis development, the Bear 650 is a dynamic road machine, while remaining capable on broken roads and light trails.

The Bear 650 has its own distinctive character - very different to other motorcycles in the Twins lineup and our other platforms. The riding triangle is very open with an aggressive ‘elbows up’ riding attitude. The sound is unique to the Bear 650, thanks to the unique exhaust system

It contributes to the 8% increase in peak torque compared to other models on the platform. The compact single silencer & cat box with stainless headers reduces mass compared to a twin silencer system and pulls mass closer to the centre of the motorcycle. The exhaust has a distinctive sound - different to any of our other Twins platform models.

The usable capacity of the fuel tank is 13.8 litres with a potential tank range of 300km. The fuel efficiency is around 22km/l

The Bear 650 features our renowned 650 parallel twin cylinder engine which has already proved its mettle globally powering the INT 650, Continental GT 650, Shotgun 650 and the Super Meteor 650.The air-oil cooled engine offers 47 bhp (34.6 kW) at 7250 rpm and maximum torque of 56.5 Nm at 5150 rpm.

The motorcycle will be offered in 5 different colour variants- Boardwalk White, Wild Honey, Petrol Green, Golden Shadow and Two Four Nine.

Front Tyre - 100/90-19 M/C 57H  and Rear Tyre - 140/80 R17 M/C 69H

The Bear 650 has 19” front and 17” rear off-road tyres which gives it a Scrambler look. It gets a scrambler seat which is shaped to allow the rider to move around easily. The addition of a number board gives the motorcycle an authentic scrambler appeal.

The Bear 650 will get the Tripper Navigation from the Himalayan 450. It will also get the Wingman connectivity and the motorcycle will feature switchable rear ABS for rough-road riding.
