If you’ve been watching the middleweight performance segment, you’ll know Royal Enfield has been making a serious push with an upcoming new model. The much-anticipated Royal Enfield 750cc machine has been spotted testing again, and it’s expected to launch as the Continental GT 750. This 750cc parallel-twin café racer confirms the brand’s intent to enter this competitive space before the year ends. It’s set to pack significantly more power than the current 650cc model while cleverly retaining the classic retro styling that has made Royal Enfield’s café racers so popular.
Development Update
Fresh spy shots have surfaced, and they reveal some promising updates for the upcoming Royal Enfield 750cc model. The reworked engine displacement for this twin is now clearer, and the bike is seen equipped with dual-disc front brakes and several refined chassis details. Currently undergoing what looks like final testing ahead of an anticipated launch in late 2026, this machine is shaping up to be one of the brand’s most anticipated releases in recent years.
Technical Deep Dive: Engine & Performance
So, what’s at the heart of this new bike? The 750cc motor is essentially a bored-out version of the existing 650cc parallel-twin engine. They’ve kept the same stroke but widened the bore to achieve the increased displacement. In terms of numbers, Power output is expected to climb to around 55-60 bhp, up from the current 650’s 47 bhp—that’s a solid gain of approximately 8-13 bhp. Similarly, Torque figures are projected to reach 60-65 Nm, a healthy jump up from the 650’s 52.3 Nm.
Looking under the skin, this engine retains the reliable air and oil cooling system. It will be paired with a six-speed manual transmission featuring a slipper and assist clutch for smoother downshifts, a great feature for spirited riding. The motor, which will run as an SOHC, eight-valve configuration based on the existing twin architecture, is built to comply with stringent BS6 Phase 2B emission standards, ensuring it meets current regulatory requirements. Fuelling will be handled via Bosch fuel injection. While the exact power figures remain unconfirmed, this performance bump is clearly substantial enough to justify the new model’s entire development and marketing push.
Stopping Power: A Major Hardware Upgrade
One of the most talked-about changes for the Continental GT 750 will be a significant upgrade to its braking hardware. To match the new power, the single-disc setup from the 650 model has been swapped out. In its place, you’ll find Dual-disc brakes at the front, paired with high-performance ByBre calipers for improved stopping power.
This major change directly addresses the increased performance from the larger engine and, just as importantly, provides the bigger bike appearance that enthusiasts expect from a flagship 750cc model. This isn’t just a minor tweak; the upgrade suggests Royal Enfield is serious about making the 750 feel like a proper step up in overall riding capability.

Design & Variants: Styling and Tech Choices
The bike faithfully maintains Royal Enfield’s signature retro café racer styling, but with a couple of distinct configurations. Two variants are expected. One will be a pure, clean model without a fairing, and it will come featuring a twin-pod semi-digital console that looks similar to the one used on the GT-R 750 race bike. The another will have a full fairing and will be paired with a modern circular TFT console borrowed directly from the Himalayan 450 and Guerrilla 450. As for the wheels, both will roll on Cast alloy wheels, available either in standard finish or as blacked-out variants for a more aggressive and sportier appearance.
Launch Timeline, Price Expectations & Strategy
So, when can you actually buy one? The Continental GT 750 is expected to arrive in the market in late 2026, though the exact pricing is still under wraps. Based on what the market is saying, Industry estimates peg the bike in the Rs 3.9 lakh range, though this figure remains preliminary. This launch will officially mark Royal Enfield’s entry into a competitive new market segment currently dominated by bikes like the Triumph Bonneville T100 and other similar middleweight roadsters.
But the story doesn’t end with the café racer. In a strategic move, Royal Enfield is also planning a Himalayan 750 adventure-tourer variant built on the same platform, which is expected to follow in November 2026 with a tentative price range of Rs 4-4.1 lakh. Both models will leverage the new 750cc engine platform, establishing a strong foundation for the brand’s future models in the growing middleweight category.
