Royal Enfield is developing a new 750cc cafe racer, recently spotted testing in Chennai. The bike features a semi-faired design reminiscent of classic cafe racers. It has clip-on handlebars and rear-set footpegs for a sporty riding stance. Moreover, the test model showcased a unique Monza-style front fairing and a redesigned fuel tank, distinct from the upcoming 750cc Interceptor.
This cafe racer is set to replace the Continental GT 650 and promises a thrilling upgrade. The new 750cc parallel-twin engine could deliver 5-7bhp more than the 47bhp of the current 648cc engine. This model is expected to debut in 2026-27.
The test bike features dual front disc brakes, a first for Royal Enfield. It ensures superior braking power. Alloy wheels, likely 18 inches in size, and traditional telescopic forks add to the performance-focused setup. While upside-down forks might feature in the production model, the test mule had twin coiled shock absorbers at the rear.
Furthermore, it includes chrome-finished indicators, blacked-out twin exhausts, and a single-pod digital display, possibly a TFT dash. The cafe racer also borrows a round underseat panel from the Bear 650, Royal Enfield's recent launch.
Royal Enfield is planning multiple models with the new 750cc engine, including an Interceptor. These bikes are expected to be the most powerful in the brand’s line-up. They can generate a lot of buzz around the prospect of launching at EICMA in 2025 or Motorverse events. Combining the modern day with a pleasingly retro appearance, Royal Enfield's 750cc lineup could well redefine the mid-capacity hero.
