- The SG 650 shares its powertrain with the Interceptor 650 / Continental GT 650, but gets twin pea-shooter exhausts.
- Also comes with a Bobber styling complete with slammed handlebar, chopped fenders, and a single-seater configuration.
- Production version could be launched later next year.
Royal Enfield has taken the wraps off its swanky bobber, the Royal Enfield SG650 Concept at this year’s EICMA show in Milan, Italy. Expect the production version to be called the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650, and is likely to be launched later next year.
With a unique brushed metal and black combo colour scheme, slammed-down styling, the Chennai-based bikemaker has made sure the SG650 Concept looks smashing from every angle. The motorcycle gets a muscular cowl that houses a modern LED headlight. The indicators and the tail lamp are LED too. It even gets a twin-pod instrument cluster with the smaller pod being the ‘Tripper’ turn-by-turn navigation unit. The low, wide handlebars are complemented by underslung bar-end mirrors. This, coupled with the mid-set footpegs and single seat configuration, should offer a slightly sporty riding stance. The pea-shooter exhausts are finished in black, and the fenders - staying true to the Bobber aesthetic - are chopped.
The SG650 Concept is powered by the same 648cc parallel-twin air/oil-cooled motor that does duty on the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650. In the duo, it produces 47.6PS and 52Nm, and we reckon the engine is in the same state of tune in the bobber as well. That said, we reckon the exhaust note will be a lot different, thanks to the new setup.

Further adding masculinity are the solid alloy wheels with a twin cut-outs at both ends. It even gets solid discs (a twin setup up front and a single disc at the rear), which may not be as thermally efficient as ventilated disc, but look uber cool nonetheless! On, and then there’s the inverted front fork, twin rear shock absorbers, and fat Metzeler Roadtec 01 tyres.
All in all, Royal Enfield has done a splendid job of making a bobber from the 650cc platform. It also gives us a good idea of how the production version will be. That said, Royal Enfield’s EICMA offering isn’t as radical as it was back in 2018, when it unveiled the Concept KX. Let us know what you think in the comments below.
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
