In more news, the Royal Enfield Interceptor INT 650 and the Continental GT 650 have received a software update to address the concerns about the performance at high altitudes. The updated software does not affect the performance numbers. The 650 Twins' newly developed 648 cc inline twin-cylinder, air & oil cooled, SOHC, fuel injected engine makes 47 BHP at 7,250 rpm and 52 Nm at 5,250 rpm. The engine is linked to a six-speed gearbox with an assist/slipper clutch function.

The 650 Twins command a waiting period of up to three months. The waiting period varies according to the colour options. The orange, black and silver colour options are available quicker than the custom and chrome paint themes.
