2024 Royal Enfield Continental GT650: AGILE AND EXCITING.
Introducing the 2024 Royal Enfield Continental GT650…
Café Racer
The updated Continental GT 650 takes its inspiration from the 1970s era of British motorcycling, with its cast alloy wheels and blacked-out aesthetic. Alongside its classically-styled, ‘50s and ‘60s-inspired predecessors, it recaptures the spirit of the cafe racer culture of the time and that of our own 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.
All Black
The new, all-black 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.
648cc of Fun
The GT 650 showcases 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 of torque at 5250 RPM. A smooth throttle response throughout the rev range ensures sufficient power to make light work of the city traffic or carve up the corners.
Ton of Fun
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.

- 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.
