Is the Shotgun 650's handling better or worse than other Royal Enfield models?
Built around Royal Enfield's 650cc twin platform, the Shotgun 650 also features a bobber style design that could change how this machine handles. With a seat height of just 795mm and a kerb weight of 240kg, it's on the heavy side for its class. The bike has alloy wheels, a 100/90-18 front tyre and a 150/70 R17 rear tyre. Showa components handle suspension - a separate function big piston USD fork up front and twin spring shocks at the rear. It’s different from other RE models in that it has 120mm front and 90mm rear suspension travel. Riders are wondering how these specs translate to real world handling compared to bikes like the Interceptor 650 or Super Meteor 650. A keen interest is its agility in the urban environment vs. stability on the highway and how the bobber styling can alter the entire riding experience.
I hear the Shotgun does surprisingly well for a bobber. It feels nimble in the city, due to the low center of gravity, but is still stable on highways.
