We reported in detail when the 2014 Royal Enfield Continental GT 535 aka Café Racer was spotted testing in Bangalore recently. Official word is now out that Royal Enfield Continental GT launch event will be held in India between Nov 25 and 28. (You read it first on Motoroids.com!)
The much hyped Continental GT 535 aka Cafe Racer is the fastest production Royal Enfield ever. Not just that, it is also the lightest and arguably the sportiest RE for the masses.
Powering the new Royal Enfield Continental GT is a 535cc, fuel injected, air cooled, single pot motor that delivers a max power of 29.1 BHP. Peak torque of 44 Nm is developed at 4000 RPM. The engine comes mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.
Suspension duties are courtesy telescopic forks at front and Paioli twin gas-charged shock absorbers at the rear. The Conti GT rides on 18 inch spoke wheels, which are shod with Pirelli Sport Demon tyres. Braking comes from a 300mm floating Brembo disc brake setup up front and a 240 mm disc brake at the rear.
It is expected that the 2014 Royal Enfield Continental GT 535 aka Cafe Racer would go on sale in India with a sticker price of INR 2 lakhs.
