Get ready for the ride of your life with the brand-new Royal Enfield Shotgun 650. This motorcycle boasts a unique style, unmatched comfort, and precise handling. The CEO of Enfield, Siddhartha Lal, calls it a “shape-shifting machine that defies categorization.” Experience the thrill of this incredible bike, which made its international debut at the MotoVerse 2023 event in the US.
Engine and Transmission
The Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 is powered by a 648 cc parallel-twin-cylinder air-cooled and oil-cooled engine, producing a maximum power output of 47 PS and 52.3 Nm peak torque. It boasts a fuel efficiency of 22 kmpl and features a muscular 13.8-litre capacity fuel tank. With a weight of 240 kg, this bike is heavy, but the middle-set footpegs and Bobber-style bucket seat provide comfort for long rides. The elevated seat height of 795 mm ensures that riders 5’8″ or taller can comfortably reach the ground.
Brakes and Suspension
The Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 comes with 18-inch front and 17-inch rear aluminum alloy wheels with tubeless tires. The handlebar is flatter and not-so-wide, providing a commanding and forward-leaning seating position. The ByBre single 320mm front disc with a single twin-piston caliper and a 300mm rear disc setup, both assisted by dual-channel Bosch ABS, ensure reliable and effective braking. The suspension hardware includes 43mm Showa USD front forks and five-step preload adjustable RSU twin-sided rear shock absorbers, delivering a smooth ride on any terrain.
Super Meteor and Shotgun
The Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 shares the same chassis, engine, transmission, analog-digital instrument console with Tripper Navigation, adjustable brake and clutch levers, and instrumentation as the Super Meteor 650. It comes in four different colors: Sheetmetal Grey at Rs 3,59,430, Plasma Blue at Rs 3,70,138, Green Drill at Rs 3,70,138, and Stencil White at Rs 3,73,000. This retro-styled bike offers style elements, finish quality, and detailing of a modern upmarket bike, making it an ideal choice for those who want a classic look but with modern features.
Bookings for the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 are now open on the official website of Royal Enfield and its authorized dealerships across the country. Test drives and deliveries will begin in March 2024, so don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to own a bike that is both elegant and powerful.
