Royal Enfield’s latest limited-edition masterpiece, the Shotgun 650 Icon Edition, vanished from shelves almost instantly! Built in collaboration with American custom motorcycle brand Icon Motosports, only 100 units of this exclusive model were made available worldwide. Out of these, just 25 units were allotted for India, making it an ultra-rare collector’s item.
Gone in the Blink of an Eye
The special edition Shotgun 650 went on sale on February 12, 2025, carrying a premium price tag of ₹4,25,000 (ex-showroom)—₹65,000 more than the standard model. However, the higher cost didn’t deter enthusiasts, as all 25 units allocated for India were snapped up within seconds. Those who missed out were met with a message on the sale page:
“The legacy of the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 Icon Edition has come to an end. Thank you for participating in the sale.”
What Makes It Special?
The Shotgun 650 Icon Edition features an exclusive ‘Always Something’ livery, finished in a striking tri-color graphic scheme. Enhancing its bold appearance are:
✔️ A red seat
✔️ Bar-end mirrors
✔️ Blue-painted twin shock absorbers
✔️ Golden-tinted alloy wheels
As a bonus, every buyer also received a Royal Enfield ‘Slabtown Intercept RE’ jacket, adding to the exclusivity of the purchase.
Same Power, Unique Style
Mechanically, the limited-edition Shotgun 650 remains unchanged from its standard counterpart. It continues to be powered by a 648cc, air & oil-cooled, SOHC, parallel-twin engine delivering 46PS and 52Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox. The bike’s underpinnings—including the twin shock absorbers (now finished in blue)—remain the same.
Key features include:
🔹 Full-LED lighting setup
🔹 Semi-digital instrument cluster
🔹 Tripper navigation pod (optional accessory)
🔹 Removable pillion seat
🔹 Matte black twin peashooter exhausts
🔹 USB Type-C charging port
With its striking design, premium exclusivity, and legendary Royal Enfield DNA, the Shotgun 650 Icon Edition is already a collector’s dream. For those who missed out, the hunt for a resale unit might just be the only way to own a piece of this limited-run legend!
