Royal Enfield, one of the oldest and most respected motorcycle brands in the world, has recently unveiled a new model designed to revolutionize the market: the Shotgun 650. Inspired by the world of customization, this motorcycle blends classic style with modern features, offering riders a versatile and highly customizable platform.

In the first month of 2024, we had the opportunity to see the Shotgun for the first time at a static presentation held in Madrid. But seeing the stationary bike is one thing, and taking it for a spin is another. As soon as it became available in the Portuguese market, we eagerly tested this cruiser.

EQUIPMENT USED: Scorpion EXO Helmet / Ixon Gyre Jacket / Ixon Soldier Evo Boots

LINES AND CHARACTERISTICS

The Shotgun 650’s appearance follows the neo-retro lines that Royal Enfield has used in other models. This style combines classic elements with modern touches, resulting in a motorcycle that is both nostalgic and contemporary.

One of the most striking features of the Shotgun 650 is its versatility. The bike can be configured in several ways, allowing riders to choose between a single-seat configuration, a dual-seat model, or a touring version equipped with saddlebags. This flexibility is made possible by the new frame, which facilitates configuration changes. For instance, removing the rear seat only requires turning a key, and removing the sub-frame involves unscrewing just four bolts.

The ergonomics of the Shotgun 650 have been carefully optimized. With a seat height of just 795 mm and an accessible handlebar, the motorcycle offers a comfortable and secure riding position. The footpegs are positioned in the intermediate zone, providing an interesting balance between a comfortable and sporty position.

RIDING

Royal Enfield did not spare any effort in selecting components for the Shotgun 650. The front suspension features a 43 mm inverted Showa Big Piston fork, while the rear has two adjustable preload shock absorbers. Throughout the miles ridden on this Royal Enfield, the suspension setup displayed a firmer tendency, benefiting a sportier ride. Asphalt imperfections are not entirely filtered out, but this is not concerning as the model remains comfortable even on rougher roads.

The 17-inch rear and 18-inch front wheels come equipped with tubeless tyres. The brakes consist of 300 mm discs at the rear and 320 mm discs at the front, with a two-channel ABS system from ByBre. Although there is only one disc at the front, the rear braking is very capable and plays a crucial role in stopping the Shotgun quickly.

MORE EQUIPMENT

Despite its classic design, the Shotgun 650 incorporates several modern elements. The front headlight with LED lighting ensures excellent visibility, and the dashboard combines digital and analog displays. The Tripper navigation system, exclusive to Royal Enfield, is integrated into the instrumentation, providing real-time directions and other useful information for the rider.

In addition, the bike comes equipped with a USB port, allowing, for example, the charging of a smartphone during the trip. These modern features, while not compromising the classic style of the model, add convenience and functionality.

ENGINE

The 648 cc parallel-twin engine, which also powers other models from the brand, is the heart of the Shotgun 650. This air/oil-cooled engine is well-known for its reliable performance. It delivers 47 hp at 7,250 rpm and a maximum torque of 52.3 Nm at 5,150 rpm, making it perfectly suitable for an A2 license.

To match the twin engine, there is a six-speed gearbox with a final chain drive. This setup ensures a smooth and pleasant ride, whether on urban roads or longer trips.

ATTRACTIVE PROPOSITION

The Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 represents a significant evolution for the brand, combining tradition and innovation in a harmonious manner. As a versatile model with multiple possible configurations and a strong emphasis on customization, this motorcycle is an attractive option for a wide range of customers.

  • TO IMPROVE Exhaust sound / Suspension / Turn signal aesthetics

The neo-retro design, combined with high-quality components and modern technology, ensures that the Shotgun 650 is not only visually appealing but also offers a very positive riding experience. With competitive pricing, the Shotgun 650 is set to carve out its space in the market and win the hearts of enthusiasts.

The Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 is available in four color options: Sheetmetal Grey, Plasma Blue, Green Drill, and Stencil White.
