Royal Enfield has finally launched the much awaited Continental GT at a gala event in Goa. RE has priced the Continental GT at Rs 2.05 lakhs (on-road, New Delhi) and 2.14 lakh (on-road, Mumbai). With the bike, Royal Enfield is making a bold move in Indian motorcycle market bringing a flavor of motorcycle the “Cafe Racer” culture that was prevalent in the 1960s in UK and totally new to the mileage frenzy Indians.
The Continental GT is brought to life a 535 cc Unit Construction Engine (UCE) that churns out a power of 29.1 bhp and a peak torque of 44 Nm. The engine is mated to a 5-speed constant mesh gearbox.
The hardcore biker are going to love the naked double tube cradle chassis embracing the engine complete with a front telescopic 41 mm forks, with a travel of up to 110 mm, and rear twin gas-charged shockers, with 80 mm travel, from Paioli. The chassis has been developed by the legendary Harris Performance from UK.
The single seat body only adds a bit more rebellious character to the bike reminiscent of the 60s era and side view mirrors by the handle gives it an elegant retro touch to the look of the bike.
So only time will tell if this newest thumper will be success or a dud for Royal Enfield but one thing is for sure this bike has brought up a whole new revolution in the Indian motorcycle industry.
