The bike weighs only 184kg and this is the fastest, lightest and most powerful Royal Enfield motorcycle in production.

RE Continental GT has a racing pattern fuel tank, clip-on handle-bars and racing pattern seat cowls painted in a bright Red colour. The bike features conventional telescopic forks at the front, pair of Paioli gas-charged shock absorbers at the rear, Pirelli Sport Demon tyres (100/90/18 at front and 130/70/18 at rear), 300mm floating Brembo front disc brake and a 240mm rear disc brake. It is expected to be launched at a price tag of Rs. 2.25 lakh.
