Royal Enfield SG650 pertama kali muncul di pameran EICMA tahun ini sebagai konsep. Dan biasanya konsep hanya begitu, satu konsep. Ada yang mungkin membincangkan, dan yang lain mengabaikannya sebagai sesuatu yang mungkin atau mungkin tidak dibuat.

The Royal Enfield SG650 first made an appearance at this year’s EICMA show as a concept. And usually concepts are just that, a concept. Some may talk about it, and others disregard it as something that may or may not make it to production.
Rarely is a concept shown as a production model so soon after its first appearance, but that is exactly what transpired with the Royal Enfield SG650 – now known as the Shotgun 650, its production name.

The official launch at the Desaru International Bike Week in Johor provided an ideal backdrop for media partners and customers to experience the Super Meteor 650’s capabilities on picturesque roads.
As a top-of-the-line premium motorcycle in Royal Enfield’s portfolio, the Super Meteor 650 embodies the essence of a cruiser. It features uncluttered controls and instrumentation, relaxed rider ergonomics, rock-steady stability on highways, and a joyous riding experience on winding roads. Its flexible, smooth engine delivers ample torque, and its retro styling proudly showcases Royal Enfield’s DNA.
The Super Meteor 650 is now available in dealerships across Malaysia, with introductory prices starting at RM37,900 for the Super Meteor Single (Astral), RM38,300 for the Super Meteor Dual (Interstellar), and RM39,300 for the Super Meteor Tourer (Celestial).
The Super Meteor 650 is the third motorcycle to feature Royal Enfield’s 650cc parallel-twin engine after the Continental GT and Interceptor.
However, this is not simply an engine swap from the smaller Meteor 350 or a different aesthetic from the existing 650 Twin. Instead, the Super Meteor 650 gets a newly built frame, revised suspension geometry, redesigned fuel tank, new side panels and a new swingarm.
Also, the Super Meteor 650 is the first 650cc model from Royal Enfield to be equipped with full-LED lighting. In addition, the Super Meteor is also the first Royal Enfield to be fitted with upside-down forks.
Nonetheless, the motorcycle continues to offer conventional cruiser-style riding ergonomics similar to the 350. Meanwhile, instrumentation comes from a digital-analogue display with tripper navigation.
With the launch of the Super Meteor 650, Royal Enfield continues to make strides in providing riders with exceptional motorcycles that blend timeless design with modern performance, reaffirming its commitment to the ever-growing motorcycling community in Malaysia and beyond.
Royal Enfield Malaysia bakal melancarkan Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 pada 29 Julai ini di Art Of Speed 2023 yang akan berlangsung di MAEPS, Serdang.
Pelancaran Super Meteor 650 itu amat dinantikan peminat cruiser klasik tempatan yang telah mengharapkan berita baik itu hadir sejak membuat penampilan sulung di EICMA pada penghujung tahun lalu.
Super Meteor 650 merupakan model ketiga yang digerakkan enjin parallel-twin 650cc keluaran Royal Enfield selepas Continental GT dan Interceptor.
Meskipun dihidupkan enjin sama namun Super Meteor 650 dibangunkan dengan pelbagai komponen berbeza termasuk kerangka baharu, geometri suspensi yang berbeza, tangki yang direka semula serta swingarm serba baharu.
Pada masa sama, Super Meteor 650 juga merupakan model 650cc pertama yang dilengkapi dengan lampu LED penuh dan fork jenis USD. Bagaimanapun, ergonomik dan reka bentuk Super Meteor 650 ini mirip dengan Meteor 350.
Bagi pasaran global, Super Meteor 650 ini tampil dengan dua varian; Standard dan Tourer namun belum dipastikan sama ada kedua-dua varian ini akan dipasarkan di sini.
Apa pun, nantikan pelancaran rasmi untuk pasaran Malaysia pada 29 Julai ini. Seperti biasa, nantikan laporan penuh dari kami.
Fans of the Royal Enfield brand in Malaysia have a reason to cheer because the iconic brand is now represented in what is probably the masters of motorcycle distributorship in Malaysia – Didi Automotive Sdn Bhd.
Didi Automotive Sdn Bhd is part of a group of companies that is also involved in the distributorship of such iconic brands as Harley-Davidson, Aprilia, Moto Guzzi and Vespa.
The company was also involved in creating the first lifestyle motorcycle hub in Malaysia called The Gasket Alley.
Didi Automotive has officially taken over from Royal Enfield’s previous distributor – SNH Bhumi Corporation Sdn Bhd with immediate effect.
In a press release distributed by Didi Automotive, the company made no mention of where the brand will be located or the models that will be offered, but Rewi Hamid Bugo, Chairman of Didi Group is quoted as saying that the aim of the company is to have a Royal Enfield dealership in every state of Malaysia.

The Royal Enfield brand enjoys cult like status around the world, such is its appeal that even the Indonesian President has one.
But it is only in the past few years that the brand is being introduced to people outside of the ‘enthusiast and classic fans circle’ in Malaysia. This thanks to efforts by an enthusiastic local distributor and availability of models like the Himalayan (below), the Interceptor and the Continental.
Things could turn up a notch if reports of upcoming models that include a roadster and a cruiser turn out to be true.
According to the motorcycle grapevine, Royal Enfield has filed trademark application for the name “Royal Enfield Scram”, as seen in what appears to be a screenshot of the trademark filing below.
Curiously though, there has not been a single spy shot of the Chennai-based bike maker’s latest model.
But according to Rushlane, the entire inspiration for the Scrambler model stemmed from modification projects of the past such as the modifications carried out on the company’s Interceptor 650, which should give a good indication of what the Scrambler could look like.
That or the renderings (below) of what the Scrambler could look as posted on MotoSketches.
As for the powertrain, it only makes sense for Royal Enfield to use what is already in its parts bin and since the 500cc engine has been dropped from all new models, it only makes sense for Royal Enfield to turn to its 650cc engine that is already powering models like the, you guessed it, Interceptor (below, orange) and Continental (below,white).
The parallel twin engine is bolted to a tubular steel frame, and puts out 47hp of power and 52Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed constant mesh gearbox.
Suspension duties is carried out by standard forks up front and twin shocks at the rear, while stopping power is provided by a 320mm disc up front and a 240mm disc at the rear, backed up by a dual-channel ABS system.
Some time ago, Royal Enfield announced that it is going to be introducing 28 all-new or updated models up until the year 2027.
Hence the introduction of the new Royal Enfield Scrambler is almost certainly part of this multi-year model roll out.
It is then just a matter of time (two years perhaps) for the ‘Royal Enfiel Scram’ to make its way to Malaysia.
Then comes the big question then, with the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and Continental GT priced at the RM46,000 region, would you pay about that much for what is looking to be a very handsome Scrambler?
The Royal Enfield Himalayan does not need an introduction. Though Malaysians may not see lots of them on the road or perhaps never at all, but fact of the matter is the Himalayan has brought a mountain of success to Royal Enfield.
Every since its introduction back in 2016, the Himalayan has been the go to bike for those looking for an affordable, fuss-free, comfortable and most importantly, capable dual-purpose motorcycle.
And now, for 2021, it has been updated with small but serious features that make it a lot more capable and environmentally friendly.
The 2021 Himalayan still uses the same 411cc single-cylinder SOHC air-cooled engine as before that still produces 24.3bhp@6500rpm and 32Nm of torque. The difference now? It is Euro5 compliant which means it is read to be sold in more markets around the world.
The same steel cradle frame has been carried forward unchanged, as have the 41mm forks at the front and the same straightforward monoshock rear.
The most obvious change is the new shape of the Himalayan’s signature front-mounted luggage mount frames, which also double as brackets for the headlights and instrument panel. It features a more subtle appearance now and sort of blends into the overall design of the bike than before.
Royal Enfield has also updated the seat, making it more plush and comfortable for long distance rides than before.
And the most important chance is the inclusion of the Royal Enfield “Tripper” navigation system which made its debut late 2020 on the Royal Enfield Meteor.
It comes in the form of an extra instrument panel bolted to the right hand side of the fuel gauge.
We have not seen it in action as yet, but some motorcycling sites are calling it “neat solution.”
It leverages the processing power of the rider’s smartphone, and acts as a display for Google Maps-based navigation. You simply key in your desired route and destination via a dedicated phone app, and live directions are displayed on the GPS display’s tiny screen with arrows telling you where to go and a distance countdown telling you how far away the next turn is.
And also new for the 2021 Himalayan is a new range of colors that include a new camp-style ‘Pine Green’, ‘Granite Black’, ‘Gravel Gray’, ‘Mirage Silver’ and two-tone ‘Lake Blue’ and ‘Rock Red’ versions.
There is no news yet on when the new Himalayan will be on offer in Malaysia.
It was late last year when Royal Enfield launched the 2018 Royal Enfield Himalayan, an entry-level adventure bike with a bit more grunt, power, and style. It was promised to reach markets around the world around June and Royal Enfield Malaysia (RE Motorcycles Sdn Bhd) delivered the promise when the bike was brought over last week. (more…)
