The Royal Enfield Continental GT is our lightest, fastest, and most powerful motorcycle in production. It’s a machine
with a story, a nod to motorcycling’s finest hour, the best expression yet of a cultural phenomenon that has simply
refused to fade away - the cafe racer.
And now you have one of your own. Congratulations!
Your meticulously re-engineered Continental GT debuts a twin downtube cradle frame chassis developed by the
renowned Harris Performance from UK. A new engine displaces 535cc and dollops of torque, when you need it. With
gas-c harged rear s hock absorbers from Paoli and Brembo disc brakes, you stay in charge. W ith an aerodynamic
seating position, Pirelli Sports Demon tyres and a remapped ECU, the new Continental GT is part homage, part
engineering tour-de-force.

Operate motorcycle only at moderate speeds and
out of traffic until you have become thoroughly
f am il i ar w i t h i t s op er at io n and han d l in g
characteristics under all conditions.
DO NOT exceed the legal speed limit or drive too
fast for existing conditions. Always reduce speed
when poor driving conditions exist. High speed
increases the influ ence of any other condition
affecting stability and increases the possibility of
loss of control.
NOTE :
If you are an inexperienced rider we recommend that
you obtain formal training on correct motorcycle riding
techniques and b ecome t horoughly familiar with the
oper ati on of your partic ular motorc ycle. N ew r iders
should gain experience under various conditions while
driving at moderate speeds.
Pay st ric t att ent ion to road sur f ac es and wi nd
conditions. Any two wheeled vehicle may be subject
to the following upsetting forces:
Wind blasts from passing trucks.
Rough uneven road surfaces.
Slippery road surfaces.

reduce speed and guide the motorcycle relaxed to
a controlled condition. Do not brake abruptly.
Oper a t e you r mot or c y c le d ef en sivel y.
Remember that, a motorcycle does not afford
the sam e protect ion as an aut omobile in an
acc ident. One of the most common accident
situations occurs when the driver of the other
vehicle fails to see or recognize a motorcyc le
and turns into the oncoming motorcyclist.
Safe Riding Tips / Guidelines
