Couldn't load pickup availability
The Red Rooster Performance (RRP) Astral Black Matte Exhaust is purpose-built for the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 and nothing else. Developed specifically around the 648cc parallel-twin platform, it delivers the long-distance cruising character Super Meteor owners actually want – deeper bass, cleaner mid-range pull and relaxed highway manners.
Crafted from 304 stainless steel with a tough black matte finish, the Astral can handle real-world touring abuse while resisting rust and discolouration. Advanced high-temperature ceramic wool packing improves exhaust flow and thermal control, helping the engine breathe freer and run cooler compared to stock canisters.
On-road, riders report crisper throttle response and stronger roll-on acceleration, while the note stays refined with the supplied DB-killers – loud enough to be heard, calm enough for long rides with a pillion. The kit includes twin silencers with integrated heat shields, DB-killers, clamps and basic mounting hardware, so most installs are fully reversible and can be done at a competent local garage.
Backed by RRP’s 5-year warranty when registered, the Astral Black Matte is one of the most premium, long-term exhaust upgrades available for the Super Meteor 650 – ideal for riders who tour hard, value reliability and still want that unmistakable Red Rooster soundtrack.

FAQs
1. Will this Astral Black Matte exhaust fit my Interceptor 650 or Classic 650?
No. This Astral Black Matte kit is engineered specifically for the Super Meteor 650. It does not fit the Interceptor 650, Continental GT 650, Classic 650 or any 350cc Royal Enfield.
2. Is this a slip-on or full-system exhaust?
It is a twin slip-on silencer kit for the Super Meteor 650, supplied with heat shields, DB-killers and mounting hardware. The stock headers remain unchanged.
3. How loud is the Astral compared to stock?
With DB-killers installed, the Astral produces a deeper, fuller bass note and more presence than stock, but remains comfortable for long rides. Without them (if removed where legally permitted), volume increases significantly – always follow local noise laws.
4. Does installing this exhaust void my Royal Enfield warranty?
Typically, exhaust upgrades alone do not void the entire bike warranty, but any failure proven to be caused by an aftermarket exhaust could be excluded. Riders should check with their local RE dealer for written policy.
5. What maintenance is required?
Allow the exhaust to cool before cleaning, use non-abrasive cleaners on the matte surface, and periodically inspect clamps, mounts and DB-killers for tightness after long rides.
