Royal Enfield Continental GT-R to be the brand's first 750cc bike

The new 750cc engine will be derived from the existing 648cc twin-cylinder unit.

Royal Enfield is working on a new 750cc engine platform, and the first bike to use this engine is likely to be a café racer. Reports suggest that it will be called 'Continental GT-R', and is likely to debut before April 2026.

The new Royal Enfield Continental GT-R (codenamed: R1E) is said to be a fully faired bike featuring a classic café racer design. The exact details, though, are unclear at this moment.

The new 750cc engine will be derived from the existing 648cc twin-cylinder unit. The parallel-twin motor is expected to make more power and torque compared to the 648cc unit, which makes 46 BHP and 52 Nm.

The Continental GT-R is expected to be heavier and faster than the Continental GT 650, and would therefore require beefier brakes. It is likely to be fitted with dual front disc brakes for that extra stopping power.

Media reports suggest that the new Continental GT-R will be the first among a range of 750cc models that will be introduced post-FY2026.
