ROYAL ENFIELD INTRODUCES SIX NEW COLORWAYS IN CONTINENTAL GT 650 AND INT650
Four new “blacked-out” colorways add even more versatility to the lineup
Royal Enfield has introduced six new colorways to the Continental GT 650 and the INT650. A Royal Enfield classic since the 1960’s, the models feature several updates but maintain the beach cruiser and cafe racer-inspired retro aesthetics the bikes have become synonymous with. Both models are now available for sale in Royal Enfield dealers across North America.
In addition to the new colorways, which include four brand-new blacked-out variants, a number of updates and improvements have been specified into the seat, wheels and controls of the 2024 model year bikes that improve the comfort, functionality, and aesthetics of each bike.
“We’re excited to be bringing some updates to the Continental GT 650 and INT650 that make them more comfortable and stylish,” said Mark Wells, Chief of Design at Royal Enfield. “The new Twins have the same old-school cool factor that fans have come to expect, but with some more premium touches.”
The Continental GT 650 and INT650 are powered by Royal Enfield’s legendary, air/oil-cooled parallel twin-cylinder engine. The 648cc engine offers 34.9 kW at 7250 RPM and a maximum of 52.3 Nm of torque at 5150 RPM. A smooth throttle response throughout the rev range ensures the effortless delivery of power output will make light work of the city traffic or carve up the corners.
Both bikes feature a frame developed with the legendary Harris Performance, which 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 a dynamic, lively, and agile ride.
New for 2024, the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 and INT650 are available in several new finishes and color variants, including a new blacked-out finish option. The new Continental GT 650 arrives in two new blacked-out variants: Apex Grey and Slipstream Blue. The new INT650 introduces two new blacked-out variants: Barcelona Blue and Black Ray, as well as two new variants in the traditional finish: Cali Green and Black Pearl.
The upgrades added to the Continental GT 650 and INT650 to give the rider a more premium feel and a safer, more comfortable riding experience include LED headlights, improved CEAT tires, and an improved seat design featuring a new, more comfortable foam-mesh material. New aluminum switch cubes, handlebar grips, and adjustable brake and clutch levers round-out a set of updated controls on the Continental GT 650 and INT650 bikes.
Like all Royal Enfield motorcycles, the Continental GT 650 and INT650 are supported by an extensive range of genuine motorcycle accessories that together complete a theme based on the rider’s preferences. These have been developed alongside the motorcycle to ensure a perfect fit.
