No changes in the technical section
Beyond the visual details and special equipment that this Shotgun 650 X Rough Crafts Drop has, there are no relevant changes regarding the platform used by the conventional Shotgun. Its 648 cc parallel twin engine continues to shine with its own light, capable of offering a final power of 47 HP at 7,250 rpm and 52.3 Nm of torque at 5,650 revolutions.
The mechanics are embedded within the well-known steel chassis which in turn is suspended on a 43 mm diameter fork signed by Showa and a pair of rear lateral shock absorbers. For braking, the brand uses two 320 mm and 300 mm brake discs, front and rear respectively. These are anchored to the striking 18” alloy wheels on the front wheel and 17” on the rear.
