Royal Enfield, the legendary motorcycle manufacturer, is steadily expanding its portfolio to cater to modern-day riders. After teasing enthusiasts with the Himalayan electric and Himalayan 750, the brand has now started testing the Royal Enfield Continental GT-R 750 in India. The test bike, spotted in Tamil Nadu, is stirring buzz among biking enthusiasts who eagerly await a more powerful café racer.
Design and Visual Upgrades
The GT-R 750 borrows styling cues from its younger sibling, the Continental GT 650, but brings in a more aggressive, race-ready look. Here's what the latest spy shots reveal:
- Full-fairing design similar to the GT Cup race bikes
- Alloy wheels, likely indicating tubeless tires
- New twin-disc brake setup for superior braking power
- Circular instrument cluster, resembling the ones on the Himalayan 450 and Guerrilla 450
