Royal Enfield Fuel Fury 650 Is a Custom, Rally-Spec Bear 650
Royal Enfield Bear 650 created a lot of buzz at the time of its launch. A bit of this was carried forward even after the launch of the scrambler. However, some folks believed that the bike was not quiet enough when it came to hardcore off-roading. Resolving all such complaints, the enthusiasts at Barcelona-based Fuel Motorcycles created the Royal Enfield Fuel Fury 650, a custom scrambler using the Bear 650 as a base. What's even more interesting is, the bike pays tribute to Eddie Mulder, the iconic champion of the 1960 Big Bear Run. In terms of appearance, the Fuel Fury maintains the modern appeal of the Bear 650 with elements resembling the Fury 500 from the '60s. Commanding most attention is the dual-LED headlight surrounded by a metallic frame. Additionally, the front fender is now higher, the shape of the single-piece seat is changed, and the tail section is now narrower. All of this is complemented by a bright paint scheme. The side panel of the bike has "Big Bear Run" text on it with "249" number, while the tank has "In Gut We Trust" written on it. To enhance the off-road aesthetics and add more functionality to the mix, the brand has added elements like an upswept free-flow exhaust, skid plate, handguards, rally pegs, and tank grips to the original tank. The custom-made foam seat is wrapped in waterproof Alcantara with red stitching. There is also a new suspension setup with full adjustability, with gas canisters at the rear end. The combination of 19- and 17-inch wheels has been updated to include 21-inch front and 17-inch rear tubeless cross-spoke wheels, which come equipped with Mitas off-road tyres. The electrical connections have been repositioned in the front, and a rally-inspired command center is prominently situated in the cockpit, featuring a built-in navigation system equipped with GPS roadbook, odometer, tachometer, speedometer, and rally controls. Additionally, the Fury 650 includes a motogadget unit for crucial data display. At its core, the bike has the same 648 cc parallel-twin engine pushing out 46 hp of power and 56 Nm of peak torque. This powertrain has been employed on other bikes of the brand as well, like the Interceptor 650, Continental GT 650, and others.
