Royal Enfield’s Double-barreled Shotgun 650 Spied Again
With a new Royal Enfield bike launch on the horizon, will we be seeing the Shotgun firing soon?
After a lull, a test mule of the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 was spied on in production-ready form, near the marque’s headquarters in Chennai. Wondering what’s new on this double-barreled Shotgun?
To begin with, it looks like the twin peashooter exhausts are all set to be slightly upswept, and the pillion grabrail design is new. Apart from this, it is likely to carry the same 300mm rear disc as seen on the Super Meteor 650. The test mule of this highly anticipated bobber is also sporting a split pillion seat, likely to be offered as an optional fitment.
The Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 will be the fourth product in the manufacturer’s 650cc lineup, set to shoot out familiar firepower out of the 648cc parallel twin mill, albeit with renewed attitude. We expect power outputs to remain the same 47.6PS and 52Nm as with the Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650. However, do not rule out the possibility of the six-speed gearbox sporting tweaked gearing.

In terms of underpinnings though, expect the Shotgun to be more inline with the Super Meteor 650, as the test mule is seen sporting an upside down front fork and twin rear shocks that aren’t gas-charged. We had also spotted a test mule loaded with accessories, which indicates that the Shotgun 650 too will get a range of accessories from Royal Enfield.
The Shotgun 650 is likely to go on sale in late 2023 and is expected to carry a price tag of Rs 3.15 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). Its main rival will be the Kawasaki Vulcan S.

- 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
