Royal Enfield in the Philippines begins a new chapter as it unveils a new model and begins its new journey with a new distributor. Taking the reigns for local distribution is Motociclista Scatola, a joint company of Bikerbox and the Borromeo Motoring Group.
The announcement was made during the Philippine launch of the new Super Meteor 650. The large, twin-cylinder cruiser hopes to expand the brand’s portfolio of models with a new, large displacement retro cruiser.
Like its stablemates, the Super Meteor boasts of retro classic styling. It has a low-slung seat with a height of just 740-mm for easy mounting. Ahead is the sculpted teardrop tank with its specially-designed meteor logo. The rider gets a unique digital and analog multi-function instrument cluster called the Tripper.
Lighting the way ahead is a full LED headlamp. Its beam is kept steady by the front’s upside down fork front suspension. For added stability, the Super Meteor features a much wider rear tire.
“We’re thrilled to announce this much anticipatedcruiser will be available for pre-orders. The Super Meteor 650 is perfectly suited for the Philippines and is an authentic retro cruiser in every sense. Its design language, its geometry, its form-factor and the gorgeous 650cc twin engine make it an absolutely enjoyable motorcycle on highways and open roads… We developed this motorcycle to make cruising pleasurable for all riders, including those who have never considered this style of bike,” said Anuj Dua, Business Head for Asia Pacific Markets.
The Super Meteor 650 is available in seven striking colors: Astral Blue, Astral Black, Astral Green, Interstellar Green, Interstellar Grey, Celestial Red and Celestial Blue. The Super Meteor 650 Tourer, which comes kitted with a touring windscreen, deluxe touring seat, pillion backrest, is available in two distinctive two-tone finishes: Celestial Red and Celestial Blue.
Filipino riders can now experience Pure Motorcycling through this superlative cruiser to great locations across the Philippines. The Super Meteor 650 will be available in the Philippines for a reservation fee of ₱20,000. Pre-orders are now open via Royal Enfield Dealerships across the country.
