Royal Enfield has concluded the third season of its Busted Knuckles Build-Off dealer custom competition in Australia, revealing five bespoke builds based on the Shotgun 650.
Australia is the first global market to host the third edition of the competition. Five dealers were selected from an open call and given six months to complete their builds. An Experts Choice winner has been determined but not yet publicly disclosed.
