Welcome back, Rock ‘N Roll
About
The 650 Twin is the rebirth of Royal Enfield’s legendary parallel twin cylinder engine. And it’s driving two Royal Enfield classic motorcycles – the Interceptor and the Continental GT. While classically styled and visually beautiful, the new engine is Royal Enfield’s most forward-looking yet, with a cleaner, elegant look, fewer components, less weight and easier maintenance.

Adventure Tips
Pack Proper Riding Gear
Bring a NZ-approved helmet, protective jacket, boots, and eye protection for safety and comfort.
Watch the Left-Hand Traffic
New Zealand drives on the left; take time to adjust especially on winding mountain roads.
Mind the Daily Kilometer Limit
Rentals include 500 km per day—exceeding this results in extra fees, so plan your route carefully.
Fuel Policy
Return the bike with a full tank to avoid extra fuel charges on top of administrative fees.
