Check Out The Exhaust Note Of The Royal Enfield Shotgun 350!
Furthermore, the Scram 411 will soon come with alloy wheels
Following closely behind the recent sightings of the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 and the Scrambler 650, the upcoming Shotgun 350 has been spied once again. This time, we've been treated to a sneak preview of the exhaust note!
The Shotgun 350 features a slash-cut exhaust design, emitting a more visceral and deep-toned sound compared to the Classic 350, upon which this motorcycle is based. While it may not possess the full-throated rumble of a typical bobber, it certainly contributes to the motorcycle's unique and distinctive allure. However, our final judgment will be reserved until we experience the motorcycle firsthand.
Beyond the exhaust, we're already well-acquainted with various details revealed in previous instances. It's already evident that the Shotgun 350 will boast ape-hanger handlebars and the white-walled tires, as seen a few months back. The pillion seat might be detachable, enhancing the Shotgun 350's authentic bobber aesthetic, and the rear fender remains fixed to the wheel. These specifics were also detected in earlier spy shots.
The upcoming Shotgun 350 will have an LED headlight, akin to the Super Meteor 650, alongside blacked-out engine casing and hardware elements, as recently observed. Underneath the surface, the Shotgun 350 will get the J-series single-cylinder, 349cc, air-cooled engine that generates 20.2PS and 27Nm and also powers the Classic 350, Meteor 350 and Hunter 350. However, it's expected that the ignition mapping will be different for the Shotgun 350.
Royal Enfield is gearing up to unveil the 2023 Bullet 350 on August 30, 2023, with the Shotgun 350 projected to make its entrance by mid-2024, priced at Rs 2.2 lakh (ex-showroom). This model will rival the likes of the Jawa Perak and 42 Bobber.
In other developments, the Royal Enfield Scram 411 has been sighted sporting alloy wheels. The wheel design bears a resemblance to those on the Super Meteor 650 but with a sleeker aesthetic. Beyond the alloy wheels, the rest of the bike retains its familiar appearance. The Scram 411 currently available is equipped with 19-inch front and 17-inch rear spoked wheels, and the new variant is likely to maintain a similar wheel setup in terms of size, but with the advantage of tubeless tires due to the alloy wheels.
The introduction of the alloy-wheel variant may command a premium of Rs 10,000 over the existing Rs 2,08,593 (ex-showroom) price of the spoke-wheeled Scram 411. The new variant might make its debut in the next few months.
