Royal Enfield Continental GT 750 Spied in India with Dual Front Disc Brakes, Alloys Wheels

Royal Enfield is reportedly developing a new flagship café racer, with a test mule recently sighted in India. Thought to be the upcoming Continental GT-R 750, the bike stands out with a retro-inspired front fairing, echoing design cues from Royal Enfield’s GT Cup racers. The presence of alloy wheels and dual front disc brakes, features never previously combined on a Royal Enfield production model, suggests a significant shift toward enhanced ride dynamics and braking efficiency. Power is expected to come from a new 750cc parallel-twin engine, likely a reworked and upsized version of the existing 648cc unit, with projected outputs of 55-60bhp and 60Nm. A global reveal is likely at EICMA 2025, with the India launch anticipated in early 2026.

Royal Enfield Continental GT 750: What to Expect?

Royal Enfield is currently testing what appears to be its upcoming flagship café racer, the Continental GT-R 750, which was recently spotted in India with a Tamil Nadu registration. While the overall design seems to take cues from the Continental GT 650, the prototype features a larger race-style front fairing that extends over the fuel tank and includes integrated turn indicators.

The bike retains signature café racer elements such as clip-on handlebars and rear-set foot controls. It also rides on alloy wheels, possibly tubeless, which could be offered as standard. Internally referred to as Project R1E, this new model is expected to sit at the top of Royal Enfield’s portfolio with higher performance capabilities and a projected ex-showroom price of around Rs 3.5 lakh.

The Continental GT-R 750 may introduce new features, potentially including rider-focused electronic aids. One test unit was seen with a circular digital instrument cluster, similar to the one used on the latest Himalayan and Guerrilla 450 models. The bike is built on a new platform and will be the first Royal Enfield to feature twin front disc brakes, along with a single rear disc. Dual chrome exhaust pipes add a familiar visual touch borrowed from the GT 650. Although the test bike was heavily camouflaged, it appears to come with upside-down front forks and twin coil spring rear suspension. The wheels are finished in black and fitted with tubeless tyres.

Powering the bike will be a new 750cc parallel-twin engine based on the current 650cc unit, likely tuned for increased output beyond the existing 46.3bhp and 52.3Nm. A global unveiling is expected at EICMA later this year, followed by a possible India launch in the first half of 2026.
