Design and Racing DNA
The design of the Continental GT-R 750 stays faithful to its café racer roots, featuring a retro race semi-fairing, classic fuel tank, and tuck-and-roll seats.

Expected Price and Launch
The Continental GT-R 750’s production model is expected to arrive in India by late 2026 or early 2027, priced around Rs. 3.9 lakh (ex-showroom). This makes it an exciting option for riders seeking a high-performance motorcycle with Royal Enfield’s signature charm.
