Royal Enfield has been dominating the mid-capacity motorcycle market with its 650cc twins – the Interceptor 650 and the Continental GT 650. Now, the brand is expected to raise the bar even higher with the upcoming Royal Enfield Continental GT 750. This new café racer will not only bring more power but also carry forward the brand’s retro-modern identity with premium performance.
Café Racer Styling with a Modern Twist
The design of the Continental GT 750 will retain its signature café racer DNA – clip-on handlebars, rear-set footpegs, sculpted fuel tank, and a sleek rear profile. The low-slung stance, round LED headlamp, and minimalistic bodywork will add to its classic appeal.
At the same time, Royal Enfield is expected to add modern touches such as full-LED lighting, updated instrument console, and premium paint schemes to give it a contemporary edge.
Engine and Performance Expectations
The heart of the Continental GT 750 will be its 750cc parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine. Early reports suggest it could produce around 60–65 hp and 65–70 Nm of torque, making it the most powerful Royal Enfield motorcycle to date.
The engine will be paired with a 6-speed gearbox, assisted by a slipper clutch for smooth downshifts. The bike is expected to hit a top speed of 190+ km/h, making it suitable for long highway rides as well as spirited café racer runs.
Key Features and Equipment
The Royal Enfield Continental GT 750 will likely be packed with features such as:
- Dual-channel ABS
- Ride-by-wire throttle
- TFT instrument cluster with smartphone connectivity
- Multiple riding modes
- USD front forks & rear twin-shock setup
- Dual exhaust system for a deep exhaust note
These additions will make it both modern and premium while still retaining its retro charm.
Riding Experience and Handling
The GT 750 will be built on an updated twin-cradle chassis designed for stability and precision. With USD forks at the front and gas-charged twin shocks at the rear, the suspension will be tuned for both sporty riding and highway comfort.
Braking will be handled by large front and rear disc brakes with ABS, ensuring confidence at high speeds. Riders can expect a mix of café racer agility and long-distance touring comfort.
Expected Price and Rivals in India
The Royal Enfield Continental GT 750 is expected to be priced around ₹4.5 – ₹5.5 lakh (ex-showroom, India). Its rivals in India and globally will include:
- Kawasaki Z650RS
- Honda CB650R
- Triumph Trident 660
- Moto Morini Seiemmezzo
Even with international competition, Royal Enfield’s pricing advantage could make the GT 750 a huge hit in the premium mid-segment.
Final Verdict: A Café Racer for the Modern Era
The Royal Enfield Continental GT 750 promises to be a thrilling blend of retro styling, modern features, and powerful performance. It will appeal to enthusiasts who love the café racer culture but want more power and premium feel than the GT 650.
