We have been reporting in detail about the new 2014 Royal Enfield Continental GT 535 aka Café Racer. The Continental GT is already on sale in UK and as we have been saying, will be launched in India on November 26. The launch event will take place in Goa and safely expect us to update you about the launch LIVE from the ground zero. Also expect us to come up with a comprehensive ride report of the new Royal Enfield Continental GT soon after it has been launched in India.
The highly publicized Continental GT 535 aka Cafe Racer is the fastest production Royal Enfield ever. Also, the Conti GT is easily the lightest and probably the sportiest RE in the iconic bike maker’s product portfolio.
The new Royal Enfield Continental GT is powered by a 535cc, fuel injected, air cooled, single pot motor that has a max power of 29.1 BHP and a peak torque of 44 Nm. The engine is attached to a 5 speed manual gearbox.
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.
We expect that the new 2014 Royal Enfield Continental GT 535 aka Cafe Racer would go on sale in our country with a sticker price of around INR 2 lakhs.
