The Royal Enfield Continental GT 750 was unveiled at EICMA 2026 in Milan on November 3, and Royal Enfield says it will be the brand’s highest-performance production motorcycle to date. It uses an uprated version of the new 743cc twin from the Himalayan 750 and comes in faired and unfaired versions.
What it does not have yet is a published power figure, a weight, a price or an India launch date.
What is the Royal Enfield Continental GT 750?
The Royal Enfield Continental GT 750 is the brand’s new 750cc café racer and the second model on its 743cc twin platform after the Himalayan 750. Royal Enfield unveiled it at EICMA 2026 on November 3, calling it a sharper, sportier evolution of the Continental GT line, with faired and unfaired versions.
It is not a complete surprise. A Continental GT-R 750 concept appeared at EICMA 2025, and test bikes have been spied in India and abroad through 2026.
ZigWheels had the first report in India at 12:24 PM IST on Tuesday. Eicher Motors, Royal Enfield’s parent, filed the official press release with the stock exchanges about an hour later. Autocar India, DriveSpark and The Economic Times followed through the afternoon.
How powerful is the Continental GT 750’s 743cc engine?
Royal Enfield has not published power or torque for the Continental GT 750. It only says the café racer uses an uprated version of the 743cc twin. In the Himalayan 750, that air/oil-cooled engine makes 63 Nm at 5,000 rpm, according to Royal Enfield, and outlets report about 55 PS.
The word “uprated” matters. Royal Enfield also calls the GT 750 its highest-performance production bike so far, which suggests it should beat the Himalayan 750’s output. That is our reading of the wording, not a figure from Royal Enfield.
The engine setup differs from the Himalayan’s in visible ways. Autocar India and DriveSpark note a cable-operated throttle instead of the Himalayan’s electronic one. The Conti also gets twin exhaust pipes, where the Himalayan uses a 2-into-1 system.
ZigWheels adds that the GT 750 uses two throttle bodies, different gearing and no riding modes. BikeDekho reports a six-speed gearbox with a slip-and-assist clutch, but no other outlet we checked mentions the clutch.
What hardware and features does the Continental GT 750 get?
The Continental GT 750 gets twin front disc brakes, 18-inch wheels at both ends, a telescopic fork and twin rear shocks with preload adjustment, and a hybrid twin-pod display. Royal Enfield describes the bike as intentionally analogue, with only minimal technology, so expect few electronic rider aids beyond ABS.
The display keeps the Continental GT’s twin-pod look. Two sweeping analogue dials sit above a small TFT screen, and the switch cubes are metal.
ZigWheels and BikeDekho say dual-channel ABS is the only rider aid. Tyres are reported as a 110-section front and a 140-section rear.
There is one conflict on suspension. Autocar India and DriveSpark say the GT 750 uses linear fork springs and conventional shocks, unlike the progressive and gas-charged units on the 650. Cartoq reports the reverse. ZigWheels names Showa as the supplier. Royal Enfield has not confirmed any of it.
Faired or unfaired: which version gets what?
Royal Enfield will sell the GT 750 in unfaired and faired versions. The faired bike gets a small quarter fairing and lower handlebars for a more focused riding position. Three colours were shown in Milan: Red Line, TT Blue and Master Clean, which is the chrome, unfaired version.
Red Line and TT Blue carry the quarter fairing, according to Autocar India and DriveSpark, while BikeDekho adds race-number side panels to the faired bike.
Master Clean and Red Line use wire-spoke wheels with tubed Vredestein Centauro ST tyres. TT Blue gets alloy wheels, which allow tubeless tyres. If you ride long distances in India, that tubeless option is worth noting.
All versions share a single-piece seat with a removable cowl over the pillion section.
How is it different from the Continental GT 650?
The GT 750 has a bigger 743cc engine against the GT 650’s 648cc twin, twin front discs instead of one, and a hybrid TFT cluster. Royal Enfield says it is a big step up in performance, material quality and components. Power, torque and weight have not been published, so a full comparison is not possible yet.
| Item | Continental GT 750 (EICMA 2026) | Continental GT 650 (on sale in India) |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | 743cc parallel-twin, uprated tune | 648cc parallel-twin |
| Power | Not announced | 47.4 PS |
| Torque | Not announced (Himalayan 750: 63 Nm) | 52.3 Nm |
| Front brakes | Twin discs | Single disc |
| Wheels | 18-inch spoke or alloy, by colour | 18-inch |
| Display | Hybrid twin-pod with small TFT | Twin-pod |
| Seat height | 833 mm (reported by ZigWheels and Cartoq) | 804 mm |
| Fuel tank | 12.5 litres (reported) | 12.5 litres |
| Kerb weight | Not announced | 214 kg |
GT 650 figures come from Royal Enfield’s India website, checked on November 3, 2026.
Autocar India expects the GT 750 to weigh less than the 214 kg GT 650. That is an expectation, not a published number.
When will the Royal Enfield Continental GT 750 launch in India?
Royal Enfield has not announced an India launch date or price for the Continental GT 750. Autocar India and The Economic Times expect it on sale in 2027. ZigWheels says it will make its India debut at Motoverse, which runs in Goa from November 27 to 29, 2026.
ZigWheels also estimates about Rs 3.90 lakh ex-showroom for the unfaired version. That is the outlet’s estimate, not a Royal Enfield price.
For context, Royal Enfield opened European bookings for the Himalayan 750 on November 3. It has not given the Continental GT 750 a European price either.

CarBike Insight Analysis
Royal Enfield is making the Continental GT 750 a different kind of bike from the Himalayan 750. The adventure bike gets ride modes, cornering ABS and traction control. The café racer keeps a cable throttle and a simple feature list. That fits Royal Enfield’s own “intentionally analogue” line.
That choice could help in India. Fewer electronics usually means a lower cost, and a sharp price matters more than ride modes to most GT buyers.
The open question is power. If the uprated engine is clearly stronger than the Himalayan 750’s, the GT 750 earns its billing as the brand’s top performer. If the gain is small, the selling point shifts to brakes, quality and looks.
This also caps a busy anniversary year, which included the Classic 650 125th Anniversary Edition. Demand is clearly there, as Royal Enfield’s October 2026 sales record showed. Watch Motoverse for the next details, and read our Himalayan 750 coverage for the engine’s story so far.
