- Royal Enfield revealed its Continental GT 750 prototype at the Motoverse event in Goa. This race-focused motorcycle features a new chassis, Showa suspension and a 750cc engine.
Royal Enfield has showcased its new Continental GT 750 prototype at this year's Motoverse event in Goa, marking the bike's first appearance in India after the international showcase at EICMA 2025. However, the motorcycle is under development and has even been given a “testing in progress” badge at the EICMA show. It will be prepared for competitive action in the 2026 INRC season.
The motorcycle on display hints at major structural updates. It appears to use a newly engineered chassis and revised steering assembly. The suspension setup is also different. Royal Enfield has equipped the bike with Showa components tuned specifically for racing, including telescopic forks and twin rear shocks.
Since it is a pure race prototype, it may weigh less than the existing 650 platform. The braking hardware has also been upgraded, with twin discs at the front and a single disc at the rear.
New 750cc engine under development
The prototype uses an all-new 750cc parallel-twin engine. As per initial estimates the output is around 54 to 55 bhp and around 65 Nm of torque. The race bike may deliver more figures once the tuning is complete, but Royal Enfield has not revealed the final numbers. The six-speed gearbox and slipper clutch from the existing twin-cylinder line are expected to be retained.
classic racer aesthetics
The GT 750 prototype is faithful to Royal Enfield's retro racing roots. It features a compact semi-fairing, a café-racer tank and a short tail section with tuck-and-roll seats. The motorcycle runs on 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in soft-compound tires suitable for track use.
Clip-on handlebars sit lower and steeper than the stock position, causing the rider to lean forward. Dual exhausts are more compact and free-flowing, benefiting from the absence of emissions-control components. Adjustable levers and suspension further underline the racing intent. Despite its performance role, the prototype continues to use a conventional fork rather than an inverted unit.
looking towards 2026
Royal Enfield is likely to unveil the production-ready Continental GT 750 at EICMA 2026. Market launch is expected near the end of that year.
