Royal Enfield has unveiled the spectacular Continental GT 750 café racer at EICMA, featuring a massive 743cc twin engine, twin front disc brakes, and stunning retro-faired styling.
The all-new Royal Enfield Continental GT 750 café racer motorcycle, which officially broke cover at the EICMA 2026 show in Milan. Positioned as the brand's new flagship production powerhouse, it marks a significant jump up from the popular 650cc lineup.
Key Features GT 750
- Engine: New 743cc parallel-twin motor.
- Power: Strong 55–57 PS output.
- Brakes: Upgraded twin front disc brakes.
- Styling: Available in gorgeous faired version.
- Display: Hybrid twin-pod TFT cluster.
- Chassis: Lighter frame for agile handling.
Core Specifications and Performance
- Engine: The motorcycle shares its heart with the Himalayan 750, housing a new 743cc air/oil-cooled parallel-twin engine. However, it is specifically tuned with two throttle bodies (unlike the single unit on the Himalayan) to eke out sharper sport performance.
- Output: It is expected to deliver 55–57 PS of power and 63–65 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox with a slip-and-assist clutch.
- Electronics: In a deliberate effort to retain an analogue, riding-focused character, Royal Enfield has omitted ride-by-wire mechanics and complex riding modes.
Design Versions and Aesthetics
Royal Enfield has debuted the flagship motorcycle in two distinct versions:
Faired Version: Capturing the spotlight with a retro front half-fairing, racing side number boards, and aggressive, lower clip-on handlebars for a committed racing posture.
Unfaired Version: Preserving the clean, traditional silhouette of the current Continental GT 650 with standard side panels and slightly higher clip-ons for basic everyday comfort.
It was showcased in three premium colorways: Red Line, TT Blue, and Master Clean.
Upgraded Hardware
Braking: A massive safety upgrade over the 650 includes twin 280mm disc brakes at the front and a 240mm single disc at the rear, managed by dual-channel ABS.
Chassis and Weight: The bike features a newly tweaked, lighter chassis that reduces overall mass, weighing roughly 10kg less than its sibling, the Himalayan 750.
Suspension and Wheels: Conventional telescopic front forks and preload-adjustable twin rear shock absorbers sourced from Showa. Buyers can choose between classic wire-spoke wheels or modern alloys running tubeless tyres.
Cockpit: A new hybrid twin-pod TFT instrument cluster that incorporates modern navigation and smartphone mirroring while maintaining retro circular aesthetics.
