Royal Enfield Shotgun 650: Weight, Power And Other Specs Revealed
The Shotgun 650 could tip the scales at around 248kg
Update: The Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 has been launched in India. You can read all about it in our launch story here.
In addition to the specifications of the Himalayan 450, we've also gained access to the homologation documentation for the upcoming Royal Enfield Shotgun 650. And this one sheds light on some important bits like the bike’s weight, wheelbase, and more.
The Shotgun 650 will be powered by the familiar 647.95cc parallel-twin engine, which also powers bikes like the Interceptor 650, Super Meteor 650 and Continental GT 650. On this one, it makes 34.6kW, slightly less than the Interceptor and the Continental GT 650’s 34.9kW. However, both translate to 47PS. While exact torque figures are yet to be confirmed, we think it’ll be 52.3Nm as well, a figure we’ve seen on the other three 650cc models.
One standout feature highlighted in the Shotgun 650 documentation is its weight. With a Gross Vehicle Weight of 428kg, the anticipated kerb weight hovers around 248kg, considering its load-carrying capacity of approximately 180kg. Despite its more compact design compared to the Super Meteor 650 (which weighs 241kg), the Shotgun 650 seems to be the heavier one.

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 2
- 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
