    Pros & Cons

    • Pros
    • Cons
    • Royal Enfield Shotgun 650

      • Looks beautiful, easily the best looking bike in the segment
      • Fantastic fit and finish levels, makes it feel like very premium bike
      • 650cc engine is easy to use in the city and very capable on the highway
      • Handles quite well for its 240kg kerb weight

      Husqvarna Svartpilen 401

      • Looks properly premium with a very clean design
      • Extremely potent engine, that’s as fun as the KTM 390 Duke
      • Great high-speed handling
      • Light kerb weight and feature-packed console make living with the bike an easy affair
    • Royal Enfield Shotgun 650

      • 240kg kerb weight can be felt at slow speeds or when moving the bike around in parking lots
      • Ride quality is far from good. People under about 75kg will be tossed around a lot
      • Given its weight and size, it should’ve had at least a basic traction control system for more safety

      Husqvarna Svartpilen 401

      • Runs on tubed tyres because of the spoke wheels
      • Not really a true-blue scrambler

      Worth it..
      This is an excellent bike and had great fun riding. The back seat is include along with the bike. Had 1250km run including office travel and long rides and it has been fun doing both. Great comfort. The sheet metal grey gives a batmobile feel and experience. Looks damn good without the back seat, I generally carry it in my backpack.

      Review on Shotgun 650 (best in segment)
      The reason I buy this bike was to get a reliable bike with price range up to 5 lakh, and I wanted a comfort and a good looking bike, so rather than getting GT 650 I chose this, and honestly I didn't regret my decision. Its a bike with comfort and power. Even Super meteor is there but that is more suitable for Long ride. So for shorter and comfy ride I chose Shotgun 650. Talking about positives, Really good looking bike, you we be the centre of attraction. Royal Enfield reliable engine with one of the best performance in this segments. Gives confidence on high speed. Talking about the Negatives, its a Heavy bike, so not suitable for every person, heating issue, not a major issue as this is ha heavy bike and so this is common. Yes, a person who want a good looking bike with a satisfying mileage and comfort and suitable for city rides. Even a person who want long tours with this bike is also possible but still there are better touring bike with this price range.

      Best bike under 5 lakh .
      This looks very cool on road. I'm impressed by his looks, and it come with 650cc engine. It gives me extra attention on road. I also looked for re super meteor650 but I personally love this one. It's seat height, exhaust everything is amazing. It's feels very comfortable while riding. I went for long ride with this bike around 130 km from patna to my home town it felt so comfortable. However, the mileage is less It gives u around 17 - 18 per litre. I personally recommend this bike to people age above 25 because it is a strong machine with heavy weight. Even this bike is so stable but it needs power to handle. It's gives u old bullet vibe with extra features and power overloaded .

      Almost 2 year on Husqvarna
      Husqvarna comes with an very exciting Swedish design with a very powerful ktm 390 engines. Single cylinder producing 39 nm tork and 47 bhp. It comes with a very comfortable seething and a beautiful mileage on highways of over 28 kmpl. You can get the feel of high pickups with smooyh sitting and and a less bumps on road. Comfort and speed both are very priceless on this vehicle.

      Best scrambler under this category
      The bike looks great in itself and the feel on riding it in any type of terrain is just too smooth. If you are looking for a scrambler bike in this range you get three options of re scram 440, this and triumph scrambler. But beleive me the road presence of this bike is just too good, the feel, the speed, the pickup and the mileage all are pretty awesome.

      Loving it!
      Honestly it's a pretty cool bike. The 2024 Svartpilen 401 has this rugged, minimalist scrambler vibe that stands out. It’s lightweight, packs enough punch for fun rides, and that quickshifter is a sweet bonus for the price. I really like how it blends urban aggression with some off-road capability, without going overboard.
