Upcoming Royal Enfield 650cc Cruiser Could Be Called The Super Meteor

Super Meteor, Roadster or the Shotgun, what will it be called? Here’s what we think
By now, almost everyone knows about Royal Enfield’s upcoming 650cc cruiser, thanks to numerous sightings on public roads. The bike will have two iterations: a low-slung cruiser and a roadster. What still remains unclear, though, are their official names. And latest rumours suggest the low-slung cruiser could be called the Super Meteor.
The Super Meteor would fit the bike well for two reasons. One, Royal Enfield used this moniker in the 1960s for its 700cc cruiser bike, so this would be a nice resurrection. Second, the 650cc cruiser will sit above the RE’s current flagship cruiser, the Meteor 350, thus validating the ‘Super’ Meteor term.
However, in April 2021, Royal Enfield had trademarked the names ‘Shotgun’ and ‘Roadster’ too. And if it had to pick from these two, we believe Royal Enfield will go with the latter, since the former can cause trademark issues in foreign markets, considering Harley-Davidson already has a model named ‘Roadster.’
Luckily, the unveiling of Royal Enfield’s 650cc cruisers isn’t too far away now, probably as soon as at EICMA 2021 that’s happening in a month’s time. So all speculation will be put to rest then.

Name aside, we know quite a few things about the two bikes. They will bear a retro design with round headlamps and taillights, and twin peashooter exhausts. The bikes will roll on alloy wheels shod with single-disc brakes at both ends, while employing a USD fork and twin shock absorbers for suspension duties.
One shouldn’t expect them to pack modern tidbits like a fully-digital instrument cluster or all-LED lighting, as Royal Enfield, as usual, will keep things basic. Tripper navigation will still be part of the kit, thankfully.
The new bikes will be powered by the same 649cc, twin-cylinder engine from the Interceptor 650, putting out 47PS and 52Nm.
Once unveiled, the Royal Enfield 650cc cruisers are expected to go on sale early next year with a price tag well over Rs 3 lakh (ex-showroom), which will make them the most expensive Royal Enfields ever.
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
