Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 Rendered Ahead Of Launch
The same 648cc parallel twin engine as other 650cc RE bikes is likely, generating 47 bhp of power and 52 Nm of torque
The name Shotgun 650 is rumored and is an adaptation of SG 650 concept. It was a radical new design that would take on the likes of other BO BER style motorcycles. Even though SG 650 was a BO BER style concept, production version test mules have been spotted with a pillion seat. Triple Line YouTube channel’s render follows the recent spy shots, featuring a pillion seat
The production version of the Royal Enfield SG650 Concept will likely be called Shotgun 650 and is expected to launch in late 2022
For starters, Royal Enfield will use a similar platform on Shotgun 650 that it offers on Super Meteor 650. Main frame is slightly different from than Interceptor and Continental GT. It resembles the one used on Super Meteor 650
Probably longer than Super Meteor 650. The render takes a similar direction as well. We can see a substantial-looking headlight clamp, similar to the one seen on Scram 411. There is a round LED headlight along with round indicators and tail lights.
Specs & Features – 650 cc Shotgun The same 648cc air/oil cooled parallel-twin engine making 47 bhp of power and 52 Nm of torque will be kept as is. There might be a slightly different tune on Royal Enfield’s upcoming 650cc Shotgun, suiting its character. Transmission duties are handled by a 6-speed gearbox and a slipper clutch. Features might include a USB socket to charge mobile phones. Speaking of mobile phones, we expect Shotgun 650 to come with Bluetooth connectivity and GPS, enabling turn-by-turn navigation as standard fitment. When launched, Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 will lock horns with other Neo retro styled bikes like Kawasaki Z650RS, Leonine 500 and the likes. Royal Enfield 650cc Shotgun price could be around Rs. 4 lakh
As seen in the render and recent spy shots, Shotgun 650 features alloy wheels. These might be machined wheels with a dual-tone effect too. Teardrop shape fuel tank, retro body panels and vintage charm captivate the audience. The Engine bay is kept black, to add a sense of sportiness. Wheel setup could probably be 19 or 18 at the front and 17 at back
riding posture on Shotgun 650 is less relaxed when compared to Super Meteor 650 and has a sporty edge to it. However, it doesn’t look as committed as Continental GT 650. This should enable a neutral riding posture. Dual exhausts have been kept in black finish too, as opposed to the chrome finish on Super Meteor 650
The same 648cc parallel twin engine as the other three engines is highly likely. As seen with its 350cc lineup, Royal Enfield may tune this engine for Shotgun 650 slightly to establish a unique character. This engine develops 47 bhp of power and 52 Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Spy shot frequency seems to have reduced and launch could happen in 2024
