Royal Enfield Shotgun 650: Design and Features
The Shotgun 650 looks like a bobber owing to its bodywork, which slightly contrasts with the Super Meteor, on which it is modelled. Its structure, however, remains precisely the same as its sibling. The bike has a glossy black engine cover, spoked wheels made of alloy, shorter front, and rear fenders, as well as dual peashooter exhaust mufflers. Further, the mid-set footpegs and flattened handlebar accentuate the bike's aggressive riding position.
Many amenities come standard with the Shotgun 650, including full-LED lighting, a USB charging outlet, Tripper navigation, and a Wingman app that provides real-time location data, maintenance schedules, and more. The bike weighs 1 kg less than the Super Meteor at 240 kg. Its seat height is 795mm, and the fuel tank capacity is 13.8 litres.
