Royal Enfield Classic 650 Hypershift Launched at Rs 4.26 Lakh

Royal Enfield has launched the Classic 650 Hypershift in India to commemorate the motorbike brand’s 125th anniversary. Priced at Rs 4,25,589 (ex-showroom), this special edition will be made in restricted quantities, with only 125 units assigned to each important location internationally.

Registrations begin at 2 PM IST on October 16 and will stay open until the sale day on October 28. Deliveries are planned to begin in November 2026.

The motorcycle’s most appealing feature is its color-changing finish, which changes between red, green, and gold depending on the light. Royal Enfield has also included special anniversary touches to set this model apart from the normal Classic 650.

Royal Enfield Classic 650 Hypershift Gets a Special Design

The Hypershift version takes influence from Royal Enfield’s early motorcycles, which date back to 1901. The fuel tank, side panels, mudguards, and headlamp housing all feature a brass-based finish with rich hues and gold tones.

Black engine and exhaust components contrast with the multicoloured exterior. The fuel tank also has hand-painted pinstripes around its core black part, which contributes to the motorcycle’s distinguishing design.

A commemorative cannon decal rests atop the tank, while a gold-finished crest honouring 125 years appears on the side panel. These design aspects offer the anniversary model a distinct individuality.

The motorcycle has a brown leather seat with a quilted pattern and gold details. Its features include an LED headlamp, an LED taillight, and a USB Type-C charging connector. However, conventional bulbs are still used for turn indicators.

Royal Enfield has kept some traditional style elements, including as wire-spoke wheels and rounded mirrors. Twin exhausts that are blacked out complete the overall design.

The company has limited manufacture to 125 units per important location worldwide, making the Hypershift a special-edition model rather than a normal addition to the Classic 650 lineup.
