Royal Enfield Classic 650, Scrambler 650 Coming Soon
The current 650cc lineup of Royal Enfield includes the Interceptor 650, Continental GT 650, and the Super Meteor 650. However, the focus this fiscal year is to expand the classic heritage of the company. Hence, the Classic 650 will be added to the product portfolio by RE. Moreover, a Scrambler version based on the Interceptor is also on the cards to be launched this year. The Scrambler can be possibly named 'Bear 650'. Royal Enfield has already registered these names.
While the Classic 650 will be a bigger iteration based on the Classic 350 design, the Bear 650 will get a proper Scrambler design with block pattern tyres and a two-in-one exhaust system. We spotted the Bear 650 testing in Chennai and managed to record its exhaust sound as well. See our exhaust sound video of this upcoming bike below.
Royal Enfield Scram 450 and Guerrilla 450 Also Planned
The cult bike maker also plans on expanding its new Sherpa 450 engine portfolio. The recent success of the Himalayan has made sure that the Sherpa 450 is the right step in creating a new engine portfolio. A Scrambler with block pattern tyres and off-road capabilities will be launched soon. Additionally, a bike similar to the Hunter 350 will also be launched within this year. Royal Enfield has trademarked the names for both of these; with the latter badged as Guerrilla 450.
350cc Lineup Expansion and Updates
The online source also reports that the Classic 350 Bobber will also be launched within this financial year. Royal Enfield might badge it as Goan Classic 350. This bike has been spotted by us testing in Chennai with an ape-like handlebar and white wall tyres (see our video below). Moreover, the Classic 350 and the other 350cc models are likely to get minor feature updates and new colours later this year.

Verdict
Launching 6 new bikes in an year doesn't seem like a Royal Enfield thing. We all know that Royal Enfield likes to take time before launching a new bike or brand. Suddenly adding so many models might have another objective; if it happens so. But, we're sure that the Classic 650 and the Scram 450 are coming soon to India; well within this year.
