Update: The Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 has been launched in India. You can read all about it in our launch story here.
Royal Enfield has finally unveiled the much-awaited production-spec version of the Shotgun 650. The Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 is set to be launched in January 2024, and we expect it to be priced at around Rs 3.5 lakh (ex-showroom).
The Shotgun 650 comes with a retro-modern bobber design. It features a teardrop-style metal tank and metal panels, and flaunts the Royal Enfield logo on the tank while the engine casing has a metal Royal Enfield badging. The powertrain and the underpinnings are blacked out in all colour variants. The Shotgun 650 will be available in four colour options: Stencil White, Plasma Blue, Green Drill and Sheetmetal Grey. The bobber gets a different alloy wheel design as compared to the Super Meteor 650.
The Shotgun 650 is powered by a 648cc parallel twin-cylinder engine, shared with the Super Meteor 650, that produces 47PS and 52.3Nm, paired with a 6-speed transmission. The motorcycle gets a 13.8-litre tank, 1.9 litre less than the Super Meteor, and claims a mileage of 22kmpl.
Built on a steel tubular spine frame, the Shotgun 650 gets a specially tuned 43mm big piston Showa front inverted fork and twin-tube 5-step preload-adjustable dual shock absorbers at the back. The Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 gets mid-set footpegs and offers an upright riding position but with a slightly forward lean.
The Shotgun 650 has a 795mm seat height, which makes it a massive 55mm taller than the Super Meteor. The bike offers 140mm ground clearance, which is 5mm more than the Super Meteor 650. It has a kerb weight of 240kg (1kg less than the Super Meteor). The Shotgun 650 rolls on 18-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheels with 100-section front and 150-section rear tubeless Ceat Zoom Cruz tyres.
The bobber-style motorcycle borrows multiple features from the Super Meteor 650, including the LED headlight, indicators, and taillight. The motorcycle also gets the same semi-digital instrument cluster and Tripper navigation pod (turn-by-turn navigation) as the Super Meteor. Additional features include a USB charger, bar-end mirrors and twin peashooter exhausts finished in matte black. Though it's a bobber, the bike comes with a rear seat that’s designed to pop out with just the twist of a key. This enables the Shotgun 650 to switch between three styles: from single seater to double seater to luggage-carrying tourer.
The Shotgun 650 is also equipped with the newly launched Royal Enfield Wingman. This app helps riders by providing real-time information about the bike's location, fuel, and engine oil levels. It also sends service reminders and more.
Royal Enfield is offering 31 genuine accessories for the new Shotgun 650. Additional offering from the brand includes a matching apparel range. The new Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 will be launched globally in early 2024.
The Shotgun 650 doesn't have any competitors in the 650cc segment but rivals the Jawa Perak and Jawa 42 Bobber from the smaller 350cc segment.
Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 User Reviews
- 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.Read More
- 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.Read More1
- 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 .Read More1
