The Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 has been launched with prices starting from Rs 3.59 lakh (ex-showroom).
Showcased in Goa at the Motoverse 2023, Royal Enfield opened bookings for the Shotgun then, and now, following the launch, the bikes will arrive in stores from 15 February 2024. Test rides and deliveries of the new bike are set to begin from March 2024.
Commenting on the launch of the motorcycle, B Govindarajan, CEO, Royal Enfield, said, “The Shotgun 650 is a symbol of the united pulse of the custom community, and an ode to the longstanding tradition of customising Royal Enfield motorcycles. After the overwhelming response for Shotgun 650 Motoverse edition, we are excited to finally make the production version available for the riding community across the world and can’t wait to see how our riders infuse their unique styles into this exceptional motorcycle”.
The Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 is inspired by the SG650 concept that was showcased at EICMA 2021 and is now available in four colours, the Sheet Metal Grey, Plasma Blue, Drill Green and Stencil White. The Shotgun 650 comes equipped with an LED headlamp, a neo-modern nacelle, a digi-analogue instrument cluster, that comes with a navigation system.
