Hypershift Paint
The most striking feature of this Anniversary Edition is its paint job. Royal Enfield has named it “Hypershift.” It’s a special color-morphing treatment that shifts between deep red and rich gold. As light shines on the bike’s surface, its color appears to change, creating a magical effect. The bike also features a special ‘125 Years’ insignia on the tank, further enhancing its distinctive identity. The side panels also feature the same celebratory crest. This paint job gives the bike a rare and premium look, like a collector’s item.
Blackout Theme
In contrast to the bright and color-changing tank, the rest of the bike has been deliberately blacked out. The engine casing, exhaust pipes, wire-spoke wheels, frame, handlebars, and even the areas around the headlamp and taillight have been kept in a dark theme. This stark treatment gives the Classic 650 a more modern look and allows the exclusive color scheme to fully shine. The design is like a piece of jewelry that shines even more in its simple black box.
A Glimpse of Heritage
This special edition Classic clearly reflects the brand’s heritage. The teardrop tank silhouette, nacelle-style headlamp, and proportionate stance are design cues that have been familiar to Royal Enfield bikes for generations. This bike serves not only as a new edition, but also as a story of the brand’s 125-year journey. This is a gift for all those who love Royal Enfield’s history and heritage.
Engine and Performance
Mechanically, Royal Enfield has made no changes to this anniversary model. The bike will be powered by the same reliable 648 cc parallel-twin engine, known for its smooth power delivery and long-distance touring. Its output remains the same – 46 bhp and 52 Nm. It’s paired with a six-speed gearbox that has become a staple in Royal Enfield’s twin-cylinder lineup, and a slipper clutch is standard. This means you’ll get the same reliable and excellent performance, along with the sleek design and color.

India Launch and Expectations
After the bike’s international debut, anticipation for its launch in India has only grown. Given the significance of this celebration and the increased attention given to this edition, Royal Enfield may offer it as a limited-availability offering. Pricing may be announced at the upcoming Motoverse event in Vagatore. Royal Enfield unveiled several new products at the EICMA show in Milan, and some of them may also be seen in Goa. Therefore, it’s entirely possible that this special anniversary edition will soon be seen on Indian roads.
