This revolutionary beauty doesn't shy away from its cruiser origins, sharing the punchy 650cc parallel-twin engine with the Super Meteor 650, but it whispers its individuality with a unique Royal Enfield logo emblazoned on the crankcase.
The Shotgun 650 cuts its path with a unique cowl that hides the instrument console like a secret agent's gadget. Sleek round turn indicators flank this cowl, adding a touch of classic charm. But don't mistake it for just another pretty face – the instrument console from the Super Meteor 650, including the tripper navigator, keeps you informed and on track. With Royal Enfield's Wingman app, you'll have live tracking, last parked location, and trip summaries at your fingertips.
The Shotgun 650's heart beats with the same punchy 648cc, air-oil cooled, parallel-twin engine as its cruiser cousin, the Super Meteor. This translates to 47 thrilling horsepower and 52.3Nm of gut-wrenching torque, channelled through a smooth-shifting 6-speed gearbox. While you might sacrifice a couple of kilometres per litre compared to the Super Meteor (22kmpl claimed mileage), the Shotgun makes up for it with a shorter, sportier 13.8-litre fuel tank.
The Shotgun 650 isn't just about raw power; it's about taming that power with precision. A specially tuned 43mm Showa division with 120mm travel up front and twin rear shocks with 5-step preload adjustment and 90mm travel in the back soak up every bump and twist, ensuring a smooth and controlled ride. When it's time to slow down, 320mm and 300mm disc brakes with dual-channel ABS bring you to a confident stop, no matter the terrain.
And let's not forget the grippy 18-inch front and 17-inch rear Ceat Zoom Cruz tubeless tires, covered around unique alloy wheels that set the Shotgun apart from its cruiser brother. This bobber is built to handle your desires for both speed and agility, ready to carve through corners and finish straight with equal confidence. The Shotgun 650 might shed only a featherweight kilogram compared to its cruiser cousin, the Super Meteor, but its 795mm seat height (a whole 55mm taller!).
Royal Enfield offers a whopping 31 genuine accessories, from sculpted solo seats to contrast-cut billet rims, letting you craft your perfect two-wheeled companion. For those who want to go the extra mile, Royal Enfield has partnered with ICON Motorsports to develop a specialized riding gear and apparel range just for the Shotgun 650. So, buckle up, gear up, and embrace the rebellion – the Shotgun 650 is waiting to take you on a journey of self-expression and wild adventure.
The Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 is set to blast onto the scene in January 2024, with a price tag of Rs 3.5 lakh (ex-showroom). Get ready to experience a rebel on two wheels, a stripped-down beast of power and individuality that rewrites the bobber rulebook. In early 2024, the world will witness the Shotgun's swagger, cutting its path and leaving competitors in its dust. Sure, some might compare it to the Jawa Perak or the Jawa 42 Bobber, but the Shotgun is in a league of its own.
