Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 Thunder Edition

The stealth racer
The new, all-black variant of the Continental GT 650 streamlines the retro café racer with its subtle yet stylish aesthetic. The blacked-out engine and exhaust fuse seamlessly with the machine’s chassis, keeping the spotlight on its tank for a look that is guaranteed to make hearts race and heads turn.

The Story
Drawing inspiration from the café racer culture of 1950s and 60s, the new Continental GT 650 Twin recaptures the spirit of our Continental GT 250. With its sculpted tank, eager attitude and tucked-in riding position, it carries all the hallmarks of a traditional café racer, making it perfect for carving up the back roads or having a ton of fun in the city.

648cc of fun
The GT 650 marks the return of Royal Enfield’s legendary parallel twin-cylinder engine. Backed with an air/oil-cooled parallel twin configuration, the 648cc engine offers 47 horsepower at 7150 RPM and a maximum of 52 Nm torque at 5250 RPM. A smooth throttle response throughout the rev range ensures sufficient power to make light work of city traffic or carve up the corners.

Conquer The Corners
The frame of the motorcycle, developed in conjunction with the legendary Harris Performance, has been thoroughly tested for durability and offers superior balance and handling. Together with a finely tuned suspension featuring ‘piggy-back’ gas-charged twin shocks, the chassis ensures that the GT 650 is a dynamic, lively and agile ride.
