2025 Royal Enfield Shotgun 650: CUSTOMIZATION IN ITS BONES.
Introducing the 2025 Royal Enfield Shotgun 650…
The Shotgun 650 defies categorization in both spirit and form. Its modular design enables it to switch between three modes—from single seater to double seater to luggage-carrying tourer—with ease. Each of its four unique colorways draws from the culture of customization, offering a canvas for self-expression for builders and beginners.
FROM DOWNTOWN TO OUT OF TOWN
The Shotgun 650 is ergonomically optimized, with mid-set foot pegs, a low 795mm seat height and handlebars that are intuitively placed to work with the seat and footpeg position. Its tuned Showa suspension, 1465mm wheelbase and low center of gravity come together to make riding in traffic, on highways and down twisty back roads equally fun, without compromising on comfort. Wide 18” front and 17” rear tires, combined with 320mm and 300mm disc brakes, ensure a steady grip and ample control at all speeds, whether you’re riding solo or with extra weight.
PURE MOTORCYCLING DNA, UNLEASHED.
Under the unshakable steel spine of the Shotgun 650, pounds our proven 648cc parallel twin engine, which is designed for real world usage with a strong mid-range and ample torque across the gears to keep the rider engaged. It’s a motorcycle that carries our pure motorcycling DNA, without being constrained by it, using its modular capabilities, neo-modern aesthetic and unique colors to break the mold and push the boundaries of what a Royal Enfield can be.
In the true spirit of customization, the new Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 is a motorcycle defined by its rider. Its all new bodywork and stance is a blank canvas, defying traditional categorization of motorcycling and taking on a personality of its rider. Its modular design enables it to switch between three modes—from single seater to double seater to luggage-carrying tourer, with ease. With the twist of a key, the pillion seat pops off, offering
ultimate flexibility. For those seeking an engaging and aggressive ride, or for those looking for a more chilled out experience, the Shotgun 650 effortlessly obliges with its upright and confident riding position that encourages both, and adapts to the rider’s mood and style of riding.

Royal Enfield has been synonymous with customization. The all-metal composition and simplicity of construction of Royal Enfield motorcycles make it the perfect canvas for personalization. Each Royal Enfield is unique and tells a story, expressing a rich and inspiring individuality. For decades these stories have been told by the customizing ecosystem. It is this custom builder ecosystem, and the passion for design aesthetics that brought alive the Royal Enfield Custom World, a that sparked the idea to experiment and build a concept of what a full factory custom Royal Enfield would look like, and the idea of Shotgun 650 was born in the form of the Royal Enfield SG650 Concept that was showcased at EICMA 2021. Rousing response and immense curiosity for the SG650 Concept among the world motorcycling community pushed the envelope further for Royal Enfield to explore a production version of a motorcycle inspired by custom, for custom.
Speaking about the design and development journey of the Shotgun 650, Mark Wells, Chief of Design, said, “The story of Royal Enfield is one of customization. Our customers have been taking our motorcycles and personalising them for decades. Looking to that rich creative culture for inspiration, we unleashed our designers to ideate in that same spirit of unfettered imagination. The resulting design is both fresh and respectful of our
heritage and a future vision of what a custom Royal Enfield could look like years down the road.”
