Pure Sport

A racing format that harks back to a time when the only ingredients a rider depended on to succeed was his own ability, grit, and will. Simple, very capable and reliable machines that offered no electronic rider aids, making the slightest mistake unforgiving on the race track. It was a time when winning came second to the challenge, pure adrenaline rush and fun of competing. This is what motorcycle racing began as, this is what the GT cup is bringing back!

Continental GT-R650

Continental GT-R650

Royal Enfield has taken the nimble Continental GT 650 and turned it into an ideal track tool by tweaking the performance by 12%, stiffening the suspension, shedding 24 Kg and fitting a sleek race fairing. This ensures the competition-ready Continental GT-R650 is manageable for novices as well as being a potent, highly capable racer in the hands of experienced riders.

Race Fairing

Race Fairing

Designed in-house, the quintessential cafe racer half-fairing is made from race-pedigree fibre reinforced plastic, making it light and flexible yet rigid and gorgeous. The acrylic bubble screen provides greater aerodynamics and clear visibility while protecting the racer from buffeting at high speeds.

Race Exhaust

Race Exhaust

The bespoke designed, stainless steel exhaust system is tuned to give 12% more power than the stock setup. It reduces the overall weight and increases ground clearance and cornering ability.

Clip-on Handlebars

Clip-on Handlebars

Lighter and lowered race clip-ons tuck the rider down behind the fairing. Positioning the rider lower over the tank makes for better aerodynamics with a confident racer triangle.

Race Suspension

Race Suspension

The race-tuned front suspension with pre-load adjustability is re-valved for stiffer compression and rebound damping. Coupled with stiffer linear rated rear shocks from Gabriel, they provide race-ready handling, feel and confidence at high speeds.

Rear-Set Footpegs

Rear-Set Footpegs

Rear-sets replace the stock rider footpegs to position them better for enabling higher lean angles and provide an aerodynamic riding posture. This lets the riders get their knee down and nail the apex around every corner.

Race Tyres

Race Tyres

Soft Compound Race Tyres by JK Tyre for enhanced grip and braking allowing better cornering speed and feedback.

Continental GT Cup Media Race Report

It was 2020 when I first saw the Royal Enfield Continental GT-R650. I was racing Formula 4 cars back then, and in the National Championship event organised by JK Tyres, Royal Enfield had brought a whole lot of race prepped bikes for the Royal Enfield Continental GT Cup.

Blast from the past: Continental GT Cup race

As exciting as the idea of sharing a racetrack with national championship competitors sounds, in truth, it’s a fairly unspectacular event, with a foregone conclusion. No motoring journalist can hope to mix it with professional racers – both in terms of skill and willingness to risk it all in the chase for glory.

Continental GT-R650 Media Race: Progress Report

It has been four years since the last time I competed in a race. It might not sound like much, but back then, I was still in my twenties, had the strong desire to clock the fastest possible lap time every time I was at a racetrack, egging to push myself to the limit with the awareness of falling in the process, and a whole lot slimmer. And I received a reality check, as unfiltered as it could be when RE had invited a bunch of journos for the inaugural round of the second season of the Continental GT Cup at the Kari Motor Speedway.

Royal Enfield Continental GT Cup Media Race Experience

Racing against your colleagues in the media is always fun, but at the same time it is super competitive. So naturally, I put in my best foot to prepare myself mentally and physically for this challenge that lay ahead of me. From watching onboard footage on YouTube of racers thrashing this bike around Kari Motor Speedway to taking tips from guys in the office who have ridden the bike, I did it all. “Anybody can be a racer,” is what my takeaway was from an interview I had with Adrian Sellers, Head of Royal Enfield’s Industrial Design Department and Custom Program, and it was time to put this to the test.

Royal Enfield Continental GT-R 650 Media Race Experience

Racing brings out the purest of emotions. It is true. I went through a whirlwind of emotions over the two days I pretended to be a racer, even if it was just amongst my fellow auto journo buddies. From positive encouragement to incredible elation to raging anger to determination to satisfaction, the Royal Enfield Continental GT Cup Media race had me go through them all.

Royal Enfield Continental GT Cup 2023 Media Race Report

Things for 13 of us journalists, however, began a day earlier. After the day’s races were wrapped up, we were given 10 minutes of practice to get acquainted with the motorcycle and the race track. This session was divided into three batches since there were only five spare GT Cup bikes between the 13 of us. The rest of the race bikes were out of bounds for us since the racers had one more championship-deciding race to go. With practice done, we were given another 10 minutes to set our fastest qualifying time.

Royal Enfield Continental GT-R650 Cup Bike: Balancing Act

Race weekends are always fun. From pre-race preparations in the pits to the excitement during the race, to the celebrations that follow, there is a lot to see, observe, learn, and experience in such events. Hailing from a mechanical background, I always find it fascinating to watch the pit mechanics tinkering with the race machine — in this case, the RE Continental GT-R650. After a successful inaugural season of the Royal Enfield Continental GT Cup, I, along with a bunch of journos, had been invited to witness the opening round of the second season at Kari Motor Speedway in Coimbatore. And if everything goes smoothly, we would also get a chance to ride the GT-R650 cup bike on the track.

Royal Enfield Continental GT-R650 Ride Experience

Cafe racers hold a special place in my heart. I have an old Royal Enfield Continental GT 535 in my garage that I rode quite a lot in my formative years, I loved my time astride the Triumph Thruxton R and when I first got to ride the Continental GT 650 in California, it was nothing short of a blast as we did the ton down the Pacific Coast Highway. Even when the Conti 650 became a part of our ZigFleet, I took it for a weekend spin first to Lavasa before handing over the keys to Manaal.
