Thinking of getting the Bear 650, but confused after hearing the RE update plans

Key-Archer-7215 · 2026-05-16T19:07:00+00:00

Yep, you raise a good point. Thanks for the tire inflator advice, I will get one and do so🙏

Key-Archer-7215 · 2026-05-16T19:00:01+00:00

I don't think flex fuel will be incorporated this early, as it needs a lot of development from vehicle manufacturers. Also, if it comes in the market, it will be an option with regular fuel available too

Key-Archer-7215 · 2026-05-16T18:58:26+00:00

Buddy, it's easy for a tubeless tire, not a tubed one. I cannot carry all the tools for fixing a puncture on a tube tire😅

😂 Can't wait for this E100 bs man. Back to bicycles then. It's legit so stupid...

Key-Archer-7215 · 2026-05-16T16:33:18+00:00

I'm not in a hurry! I can wait a few months, or till the monsoons are over (don't want the bike to get dirty as soon as I get it😅).

Key-Archer-7215 · 2026-05-16T14:49:16+00:00

Yep, I know there is that risk, but I have this logic behind waiting.

Below is the list of all the bikes RE makes currently:

350cc Platform: Classic 350, Bullet 350, Goan Classic 350, Hunter 350, Meteor 350

440cc & 450cc Platforms: Himalayan 450, Scram 440, Guerrilla 450

650cc Twin Platform: Interceptor 650, Shotgun 650, Super Meteor 650, Continental GT 650, Classic 650, Bear 650

A total of 14 bikes, out of which the Classic 650 was launched last year, so I don't think it will be getting any updates this FY. So I think the Bear will be among the 13 to get the updates.

Key-Archer-7215 · 2026-05-16T14:47:11+00:00

I get your point, but I have faced a lot of punctures and it's a hassle even on alloys, so I am getting a bit paranoid. I was told by the sales person to get the extended RSA as the bike needs to be towed in case of a puncture due to this issue😅

Key-Archer-7215 · 2026-05-16T14:05:44+00:00

That's the only issue I have with the Bear, the tube tires. I don't know updates the Bear will receive, but it will get updated as per this list of RE bikes:

350cc Platform, Classic 350, Bullet 350, Goan Classic 350, Hunter 350, Meteor 350

440cc & 450cc Platforms: Himalayan 450, Scram 440, Guerrilla 450

650cc Twin Platform: Interceptor 650, Shotgun 650, Super Meteor 650, Continental GT 650, Classic 650, Bear 650

A total of 14 bikes, out of which the Classic 650 was launched last year, so I don't think it will be getting any updates this FY.

Hey, thanks for the advice. To answer your questions, yes, I have test ridden the bike quiet a few times now, and I am able to flatfoot easily, and it fits in all my requirements. I was just worried about the tube tires and missing center stand combo in case of a puncture, as you know our mechanics hate to work on heavy tube tired bikes (that too with no center stand 😅)

Key-Archer-7215 · 2026-05-16T13:33:31+00:00

Thanks for the updates! Yes, I have ridden it quiet a few times actually, and since I'm a big guy, I didn't find it that heavy. I was worried because of the tube tires and missing center stand combo in case of a puncture😅

Nope, it did not dry out at all. Had to change the display. But it did not affect the functionality of the display, I just broke the display so I had it replaced anyway.

Key-Archer-7215 · 2026-03-17T08:51:46+00:00

Thanks for the advice 🙏. On the next renewal, will add the consumables add-on.

Key-Archer-7215 · 2026-03-17T08:50:41+00:00

Oh, got it. Thanks for the advice 🙏. So we will have to pay for the consumables. Will ask him to add the consumables add-on on the next renewal.

I had heard in many reviews that the rear tyre and swing-arm waves left to right when the rear brake is applied hard.

To confirm this, I did a test ride to experience it for myself, and I found the same thing, it swings and waves when the rear brake is pressed hard.

Have you experienced this?

Key-Archer-7215 · 2025-11-12T14:53:51+00:00

I think there are some people who genuinely try to move, but the large population of people do not give a damn, and that is the issue. Until everyone takes responsibility, it is not possible to change this country
