Three variants of Royal Enfield Continental GT Spotted


Recently three variants of Royal Enfield Continental GT were spotted and pictures were posted on Royal Enfield Group ( http://goo.gl/JkZOu ). The three different variants can be distinguished on the basis of three different types of seats installed in all the three.

The Continental GT 535cc is inspired from its ancestors from Europe, which was launched in 1965, a 21 bhp (16 kW) variant called the GT Continental, with GRP tank, five-speed gearbox , clip-on handlebars and rearset footrests, was launched. It sold well with its "Cafe Racer" looks. The Continental GT 535cc has the same old school charm and racing characteristics inheriting most of the looks and styling from 1965 Continental GT.

The motorcycle will be powered by a 535cc single cylinder, four stroke, liquid cooled UCE engine. The Royal Enfield Continental GT Cafe Racer which is scheduled to be released in the end of 2013 is with the first new chassis to be released by the Indian motorcycle manufacturer in 50 years. Along with the new chassis Royal Enfield have added a selection of performance upgrades and Cafe Racer styled parts you won't find on any other motorcycle in their current line up. 

              

Along with the 535cc single-cylinder unit, a selection of performance upgrades and Cafe Racer styled parts, this new Continental GT is the first bike ever to have been completely designed in india with no parts lifted from the historic engine models of the past.

The Company is testing the models with different upgrades (i.e Black Silencer which has never been used on any RE bike before and three different Seat variants) which can suit best to the Indian Road Conditions. One more feature which amazed that it comes with adjustable rider foot pegs.

The New Royal Enfield Continental GT’s  will be produced at the company’s new plant in Oragadam.
