Royal Enfield has finally brought the Continental GT 750 to India, showcasing it at an event after its global debut at EICMA 2025. The model displayed is the race-ready GT-R 750, but it clearly previews the production-spec Continental GT 750 that the company is preparing for launch. ZigWheels notes that the bike “is finally here” as a public showcase and marks a major expansion of the GT lineup.
What the New GT 750 Offers
At the core of the motorcycle is an enlarged version of RE’s twin-cylinder motor. The publication states it “packs an enlarged version of RE’s air/oil-cooled twin, expected to produce around 55 PS and 60 Nm.” This is a meaningful jump from the existing 650 twin, and it signals the company’s ambition to build a more performance-focused café racer.
The GT-R 750 also previews the direction Royal Enfield is taking with design and dynamics. ZigWheels highlights details such as the “bikini fairing, very low clip-ons with properly rear set footpegs, twin front discs with Bybre callipers (yes), compact, free-flowing dual exhausts (take that, emission norms) and a sleek tail section.” These are not subtle tweaks but significant upgrades aimed at delivering sharper ergonomics and improved racetrack capability.
The company also confirmed that this model is “set to replace the current Continental GT Cup race bike in next year’s edition.” This adds context to why the showcased version is so track-focused. The bike is not just a styling experiment but a machine intended to serve as the next evolution of RE’s in-house racing program.
What to Expect from the Production Model
While the display bike is race-spec, ZigWheels reports that Royal Enfield will offer the road-legal GT 750 in two configurations. The publication states that one variant will come “mimicking the race bike’s half-fairing” and another will arrive without a fairing “for a classic and clean look.” This approach mirrors what the brand did with the earlier GT 650, offering different styles for riders with different priorities.
Pricing is expected to reflect the performance jump. According to the report, the Continental GT 750’s price is “likely to hover around the Rs 3.8–3.9 lakh (ex-showroom) mark.” This places it above the 650 twins but still within a competitive band relative to other retro-sport machines in India.
Market Positioning and Buyer Implications
The arrival of the GT 750 signals Royal Enfield’s intention to evolve beyond retro styling and deeper into enthusiast performance territory. With expected power in the mid-50 PS range, upgraded brakes, aggressive ergonomics and race-derived development, the GT 750 positions itself as a genuine step up from the 650 lineup rather than a cosmetic refresh.
For buyers, this also represents a new kind of upgrade path within the RE ecosystem. Riders who want more power without moving into large-capacity global superbikes may now have a homegrown alternative. The availability of both a half-fairing and a classic café racer style widens the appeal. The premium pricing means expectations will be high, especially in terms of engine refinement, chassis balance and braking feel.
Final Thoughts and Industry Impact
The Continental GT 750 marks an important moment for Royal Enfield. It blends the brand’s heritage with a more serious performance agenda, and the race-spec preview suggests the company has invested heavily in engineering rather than just design. If the final production version delivers the promised 55 PS output, refined dynamics and the visual flair seen in the display bike, the GT 750 could significantly elevate RE’s perception among performance-oriented riders.
Its launch also signals that the mid-segment café racer category in India is maturing. Other manufacturers will likely respond as RE continues pushing its core platforms upward. The next major question is when the production bike will be fully revealed, and whether the final specs match the excitement generated by this first public showcase.
