Motociclista Scatola (MSI) ended 2024 with Royal Enfield on a high note, capping off its series of launches with the new Guerrilla 450. Now, it’s begun rolling out new models yet again starting with the all-new Royal Enfield Bear 650.
The new classic scrambler from RE was unveiled over the weekend at the 2025 Makina Moto Expo. This bike takes inspiration from Eddie Mulder—also known as Fast Eddie. The then-16-year-old rookie became the youngest ever to win the Big Bear Run, a brutal race across the Mojave Desert.
The Bear 650 is designed for riders “who trust their instinct and stand out from the rest.” It’s a bold and fresh take on scrambler bikes, and its styling is also proof that Royal Enfield is starting to spice things up in the design department.

But while the Bear 650 boasts a new design language, it still packs a familiar 648cc air-cooled, twin-cylinder engine that puts out 47hp at 7,250rpm and 56.5Nm of torque at 5,150rpm. It features a 2-1 exhaust system that supposedly improves torque and allows for a wider powerband while reducing weight and adding to the Scrambler aesthetic with its compact single silencer.
The new Royal Enfield Bear 650 starts at P445,000, and prices will vary depending on the colorway. You can check out the price list below:

“We’ve always drawn deep inspiration for our motorcycles from our community, and from our riders who’ve achieved extraordinary feats,” said Royal Enfield Asia Pacific Business Head Anuj Dua. “Our inspiration for the Bear 650 came from one such legendary story—Eddie and that of the 1960 Big Bear Run. The Bear 650 channels the same spirit of raw instinct, sheer impulse, relentless determination, and embodies the ethos of a true scrambler ‘full-send’ mindset and DNA. It is built to deliver confidence and control across all terrains—whether you are navigating urban streets or dusty trails. The Bear 650 is not just about performance; it's about versatility, resilience, and an uncompromising spirit. We are sure riders in the Philippines will find great resonance with this motorcycle.”
