Royal
Enfield is developing a more powerful of the Royal Enfield Continental GT and
testing it in India and Europe. This variant is referred to as the Royal
Enfield GT 750 and was recently spotted by Rishath Suresh from Bikes India in
Chennai.
The Royal Enfield Continental GT 750 has the chassis
from the Royal Enfield Continental GT, but it gets an extended sub-frame which
means that some design changes are likely for the more potent model. The 750 cc
variant gets clubman handlebars unlike the 535 cc variant, which features
clip-on handlebars. The rev count in single digits suggests this model is
probably an international-spec test mule, as in the Indian-spec 535 cc variant
we get the tachometer with rev counts in tens digits.
The Royal Enfield GT 750 will get its power from the
750 cc twin-cylinder engine. Instead of liquid cooling, Royal Enfield plans to
use an oil-cooler for this mill. While the 535 cc engine produces around 29 hp,
the 750 cc engine is expected to produce around 45-60 hp. 17-inch wheels are
likely on the 750 cc variant, with a 120 section tyre at the front and a 160
section tyre at the rear.
The more powerful variant gets several notable
changes such as higher positioning of the rear turn indicators, top positioning
of the gas charged shocks, left side placement of the chain and sprocket and
dual exhausts. It’s reported to have a 270-degree firing order.
Royal Enfield has not released a date for when it
plans to launch the Royal Enfield Continental GT 750.
