ROYAL ENFIELD INTRODUCES SIX NEW COLORWAYS IN CONTINENTAL GT 650 AND
INT650
Four new “blacked-out” colorways add even more versatility to the lineup
MILWAUKEE, March 14, 2024 – Royal Enfield has introduced six new colorways to the Continental GT
650 and the INT650. A Royal Enfield classic since the 1960’s, the models feature several updates but
maintain the beach cruiser and cafe racer-inspired retro aesthetics the bikes have become synonymous
with. Both models are now available for sale in Royal Enfield dealers across North America.
In addition to the new colorways, which include four brand-new blacked-out variants, a number of
updates and improvements have been specified into the seat, wheels and controls of the 2024 model
year bikes that improve the comfort, functionality, and aesthetics of each bike.
“We’re excited to be bringing some updates to the Continental GT 650 and INT650 that make them more
comfortable and stylish,” said Mark Wells, Chief of Design at Royal Enfield. “The new Twins have the
same old-school cool factor that fans have come to expect, but with some more premium touches.”
The Continental GT 650 and INT650 are powered by Royal Enfield’s legendary, air/oil-cooled parallel
twin-cylinder engine. The 648cc engine offers 34.9 kW at 7250 RPM and a maximum of 52.3 Nm of
torque at 5150 RPM. A smooth throttle response throughout the rev range ensures the effortless
delivery of power output will make light work of the city traffic or carve up the corners.
Both bikes feature a frame developed with the legendary Harris Performance, which has been
thoroughly tested for durability and offers superior balance and handling. Together with a finely tuned
suspension featuring ‘piggy-back’ gas-charged twin shocks, the chassis ensures a dynamic, lively, and
agile ride.
New for 2024, the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 and INT650 are available in several new finishes and
color variants, including a new blacked-out finish option. The new Continental GT 650 arrives in two new
blacked-out variants: Apex Grey and Slipstream Blue. The new INT650 introduces two new blacked-out
variants: Barcelona Blue and Black Ray, as well as two new variants in the traditional finish: Cali Green
and Black Pearl.
The upgrades added to the Continental GT 650 and INT650 to give the rider a more premium feel and a
safer, more comfortable riding experience include LED headlights, improved CEAT tires, and an
improved seat design featuring a new, more comfortable foam-mesh material. New aluminum switch
cubes, handlebar grips, and adjustable brake and clutch levers round-out a set of updated controls on
the Continental GT 650 and INT650 bikes.
Like all Royal Enfield motorcycles, the Continental GT 650 and INT650 are supported by an extensive
range of genuine motorcycle accessories that together complete a theme based on the rider’s
preferences. These have been developed alongside the motorcycle to ensure a perfect fit. Rigorously
tested in the field, Royal Enfield Genuine Motorcycle Accessories offer exceptional quality and a 3 year
warranty that matches the motorcycle itself.
The 2024 Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 will retail starting at $6,349.00 USD / $8,499.00 CAD, and the
INT650 will retail at $6,149.00 USD / $8,199.00 CAD. For more information about Royal Enfield and the

ROYAL ENFIELD SHOTGUN 650 NOW AVAILABLE IN NORTH AMERICA
Custom-inspired new motorcycle to retail starting at $6,899 USD / $9,199 CAD
MILWAUKEE, March 14, 2024 – After a successful global launch in December 2023, Royal Enfield has
announced that the Shotgun 650 is now available for sale through Royal Enfield dealers across North
America. A stunning, one-of-its-kind custom inspired motorcycle, the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 is
available in four unique colorways – Stencil White, Plasma Blue, Green Drill and Sheet Metal Grey.
Built on Royal Enfield’s globally proven 650-Twin platform, the Shotgun 650 is a tribute to the culture of
customization and a new chapter in design for Royal Enfield with an exciting vision of the future. With
its retro-futuristic design the Shotgun 650 celebrates creativity, acting as a blank canvas for
customization and personalization for thousands of riders across the world.
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.
“The Shotgun 650 is inspired by the work of our custom community and our years of work with them,”
said Siddhartha Lal, Managing Director & CEO of Eicher Motors Ltd. “It is a retro-futuristic interpretation
of what a factory custom motorcycle with thoroughbred Royal Enfield DNA would look like. A
shape-shifting machine that defies categorization, both in form and in spirit, the Shotgun 650 is
something absolutely new and different. It is super fun to ride with confidence inspiring ride
ergonomics and handles well in downtown city streets, through twisties and powers through straight
highways. The Shotgun 650 is our attempt to bring niche and newer categories of motorcycles to
growing enthusiasts of self-expression.”
“The story of Royal Enfield is one of customization,” said Mark Wells, Chief of Design. “Our customers
have been taking our motorcycles and personalizing 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.”
With the globally award-winning 650 Twin platform at its core, the Shotgun 650 is built with fun at its
core. It is ergonomically optimized, with mid-set foot position, a low 31.3-inch seat height and an
intuitive handlebar position that give the rider a commanding sense of presence and control, while the
floating single seat is both retro and modern at the same time. The Shotgun’s specially tuned
suspension with 43mm big piston Showa forks on the front, twin tube 5-step preload adjust RSU at the
back, 57.7-inch wheelbase and a 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 tubeless tires, combined with 320mm and 300mm disc brakes, ensure a steady grip,
keeping you engaged and in control at all speeds.
The Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 blends retro-futuristic design with modern features. An LED headlamp
fitted in a gorgeous custom, neo-modern nacelle stays true to the neo-retro fusion aesthetic while
offering improved visibility. The motorcycle has a digi-analogue instrument cluster, which comes
equipped with the Tripper navigation system and is designed to deliver all the information you need as
you head out. It also features a USB charging port to keep devices charged on the go.
Carrying through with the concept of customization and personalization, a diverse range of 31 Genuine
Motorcycle Accessories are available for the Shotgun 650. Designed to further highlight the aesthetic
appeal of custom culture, bar end mirrors, a sculpted solo seat and contrast-cut billet rims, to name a
few, are available.
The 2024 Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 will retail starting at $6,899 USD or $9,199 CAD. To learn more, visit
