The Indian launch for the same is still not decided as Royal Enfield is focused more on developed countries where the emission norms are strict and they need to put more equipment into their motorcycle. After the first phase, they will introduce the same in India, resulting in the rise of cost of all its products due to the addition of fuel injection and ABS. The sales of the Continental GT are small in number when compared to other bikes from the lineup.
2017 Royal Enfield Continental GT comes in Red, Black and Green shade while the Yellow shade was discontinued due to least preference. The 535 cc engine on the same is good for 29.1 BHP and 44 Nm of torque.
