Royal Enfield Classic 650 Debuts in Cambodia, Blending Timeless Design with Modern Power

CIR Life & Luxury

The unmistakable hum of heritage has arrived in Cambodia as Royal Enfield officially launched its all-new Classic 650, a super-sized iteration of its iconic Classic motorcycle line. Priced from USD 6,500 and now available in showrooms across the country, the new model introduces a larger engine, enhanced craftsmanship, and fresh styling while remaining deeply rooted in the brand’s timeless legacy.

The launch marks a new chapter for Royal Enfield enthusiasts in Cambodia, offering riders a machine that merges post-war British motorcycle aesthetics with modern-day performance and comfort.

A New Chapter in the Classic Story

Royal Enfield has long positioned the Classic range as the embodiment of its DNA, combining old-world charm with unpretentious engineering. The Classic 650 expands on that tradition, serving up what the brand calls a “double measure” of the traits that have made its predecessors so beloved.

At the heart of the motorcycle lies a refined 648cc parallel twin engine—Royal Enfield’s globally acclaimed powertrain—tuned specifically for the Classic experience. With strong low-end acceleration and seamless gear shifts, the Classic 650 is both graceful and assertive, suited for city commutes, countryside cruises, or long-haul rides across Cambodia’s varied terrain.

Design That Pays Tribute to a Legacy

While the Classic 650 introduces fresh engineering and features, its silhouette remains true to the classic Royal Enfield spirit. The signature ‘frame loop’ continues the lineage from models like the OG Classic and Thunderbird through to the Super Meteor and Shotgun.

Design flourishes include vintage-style round headlamps, sweeping fenders, and a teardrop-shaped fuel tank. The motorcycle’s chrome finish and polished aluminium detailing pay homage to the golden era of motorcycling, while modern additions—such as LED headlamps and a streamlined digital LCD display—bring it squarely into the present.

The instrument cluster includes essential readouts such as an odometer, trip meter, fuel level indicator, gear position, and service reminders, designed to maintain focus on the road while keeping riders informed.

Built for Comfort, Tuned for Performance

The Classic 650 promises not only good looks but also riding comfort. Riders will appreciate its ergonomic posture, plush wide seat, and finely tuned Showa suspension that absorbs bumps with ease—ideal for navigating Cambodia’s urban roads and provincial highways.

The model features wider modern tires, a robust frame shared with the Super Meteor and Shotgun 650, and a dual-seat setup with a removable pillion seat and rack via a single bolt mechanism—allowing for personalisation based on ride preference.

Riders can also further customise the Classic 650 with a range of Royal Enfield Genuine Motorcycle Accessories, available in Classic and Classic Tourer styles.

A Splash of Colour and Character

In keeping with its heritage, the Classic 650 is available in nostalgic colour schemes like Teal Green and Vallam Red—reminiscent of the Classic 500—as well as the sleek Black Chrome. All variants are offered at a ride-away price of USD 6,500, with a three-year unlimited warranty included.

These liveries not only echo the brand’s history but also enhance the bike’s flowing lines and contours, creating a visual blend of vintage character and modern refinement.

Global Heritage, Local Appeal

Royal Enfield’s entry into the Cambodian market with the Classic 650 reflects its growing international footprint. As a division of Eicher Motors Limited, the brand has expanded its presence to over 60 countries, supported by more than 850 global stores and assembly facilities across Asia and Latin America.

Founded in 1901, Royal Enfield is the world’s oldest motorcycle manufacturer in continuous production. From its British roots to its Indian manufacturing base in Chennai, the brand has consistently focused on accessible, engaging motorcycles that promote exploration and self-expression—what it calls “Pure Motorcycling.”

In Cambodia, the arrival of the Classic 650 offers not just a motorcycle, but an invitation to be part of an enduring global riding culture that blends nostalgia with innovation.

More Than Just a Bike

With the Classic 650, Royal Enfield delivers on its promise to honour legacy while embracing the future. For Cambodian riders seeking a motorcycle that is at once stately and spirited, refined yet rugged, the Classic 650 is a compelling new addition to the country’s growing premium motorcycling scene.
