Royal Enfield's stab at the popular scrambler set comes in the form of the new-for-2025 Bear 650.

We're big fans for the Interceptor 650, which we reviewed on the channel a few years back, and the guys at @royalenfield have given it a pseudo Sixties off-road makeover, inspired by the company's racing heritage.

It certainly looks great, and comes with a reasonable price tag too, but does it perform as well as the venerable roadster - or is it a case of style over substance?

Watch on to find out!
