Royal Enfield Continental GT 750 Faired Version Spied Again; Check Details

A faired version of the upcoming Royal Enfield Continental GT 750 has been spotted testing overseas. This could very well mean that the cafe racer will be sold in two variants – one with a fairing, and the other without. Here’s what we can expect from this variant of the retro cafe racer.

What’s New

• The biggest highlight is the retro-style half fairing, giving the bike a proper vintage racing look.

• The fairing wraps around the round headlamp (LED), maintaining the classic cafe racer identity and it could also help in reducing wind blast.

• The bike also gets different side panels, similar as seen on the Royal Enfield Bear 650.

• The bike appears to get a single-seat setup with a cafe racer-style rear hump, adding to the retro racing theme. 

• Similar to the current GT 650, Royal Enfield may offer an optional bench seat for those who want to ride with a pillion, or want space to carry luggage for long tours.

• The spyshots reveal a conventional twin-pod, analogue instrument console, keeping the retro theme intact – unlike the TFT console with mobile connectivityThe increase in displacement should make highway cruising more relaxed and effortless. 

• This fairing hints that it may be positioned as a slightly more hardcore, performance oriented variant.

• The bike can be seen with orange turn indicators, which will most probably be bulb-type. 

What’s Same As The Non-faired GT

• This variant is also expected to be powered by the larger 750cc air-oil cooled engine. 

• It could produce around 55PS and 60Nm.

• It gets a conventional telescopic fork, and twin rear shock absorbers.

• The bike runs on 18-inch alloy wheels

• It also gets twin front discs, which should help in delivering slightly better braking performance than before.

Price And Launch Timeline

• The faired GT 750 is expected to be launched alongside, or shortly after the launch of the non-faired GT 750 which was also spotted testing recently.

• Royal Enfield may position it as a more premium, and performance-oriented faired cafe racer in the middleweight segment. 

• It could be officially unveiled at Royal Enfield Motoverse later this year.

• Expected price is around Rs 4.10 lakh (ex-showroom), which is about Rs 20,000 more than the non-faired version

• It has also been reported that the GT 650 will be sold alongside the new 750, and more importantly, an updated version of the GT 650 is also expected to be launched soon.
