Show summary Hide summary
Royal Enfield has introduced a new Continental GT 750 at EICMA, positioning it above the Himalayan 750 as the brand’s most performance-focused production motorcycle to date. The model arrives in both naked and partially faired forms and uses an upgraded version of the Himalayan’s engine, promising stronger output than the adventure bike.
Powertrain: a boosted 743cc twin
Under the skin the Continental GT 750 uses a tuned variant of the Himalayan’s 743cc air/oil-cooled parallel-twin. Royal Enfield says this revised powerplant will deliver higher figures than the Himalayan’s claimed 55 hp at 7,000 rpm and 46.5 lb-ft at 5,000 rpm, though exact numbers have not yet been published.

The manufacturer frames the GT 750 as its top-performing production motorcycle so far, but has not provided a full technical spec sheet or confirmed final output and torque figures.
Two looks: classic naked and sportier faired
The naked version carries styling cues familiar from the Continental GT 650. It appears with wire-spoked wheels, a longer, slightly raised tail, and a fuel tank, side panels and dual exhaust layout reminiscent of the smaller model. One finish shown — called the Master Clean colorway — emphasizes chrome details.
The faired variant adopts a sharper stance. Display examples in Red Line and a two-tone TT Blue include a lower handlebar position, giving the bike a more aggressive, sport-oriented posture.
Equipment visible at the show
- Instruments: twin pods pairing analog tachometer and speedometer with small TFT screens.
- Suspension: Showa telescopic front fork and twin rear shocks.
- Brakes and tires: ByBre braking hardware and Vredestein Centauro ST rubber.
Royal Enfield has released only these initial images and details. Full specifications, pricing and launch timing will be announced when the company moves the Continental GT 750 closer to market release.
