Royal Enfield Continental GT 750 Price in India, Release Date

The Royal Enfield Continental GT 750 will be a completely new bike and it has been discontinued. Yes, the same Conti GT will be the base platform, but there will be many changes to them so that they can accommodate a bigger engine with more power and more torque. So what does the new Royal Enfield Continental GT 750 have to offer? We share all the details.

Royal Enfield Continental GT 750 engine

The most important aspect of the Conti GT is its engine. It has a 750cc engine which will be a long stroke engine. This two-cylinder engine should have high torque and will have good traction even at low engine speeds. This engine was designed to meet the company’s requirements to be a bike that can comfortably navigate American or European highways. So we feel it will perform well and this will trickle down even to Indian consumers. The transmission is likely to be a six-speed for this engine.

Royal Enfield Continental GT 750 design

Looking at the design of the new bike with this bigger engine, it is clear that several changes have been made to the bike. The chassis is stronger; it has a longer wheelbase and even wider tires.

There are several changes to the chassis. It looks like it sits lower than before, this would have been done to lower the center of gravity. This will help improve the ride and even the handling of this bike. At the same time, the Continental GT has more grunt to it. New images of the bike that have surfaced make it look a lot more retro. The round engine cover shows its age.

Larger disc brakes are visible and they mean serious business. This will be the first major launch for RE as their new and most powerful engine that is ready to take the world by storm. They are targeting global products that they will need to deliver quality and durability. Looks like that might be taken care of as the brand is gearing up to launch this new engine and bike. The dials are also all new on this bike and look different.
