Royal Enfield will share 499cc, single cylinder fuel injected engine in two of the bikes, producing 27.1 BHP and 41.4 Nm of torque. The engine comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox.
Apart from that, Continental GT 535 is a niche product with more powerful 535cc, fuel injected engine producing 29.1 BHP at 5100 rpm and 44 Nm at 4000 rpm.
No other single cylinder engine is more powerful than this one in Royal Enfield lineup. Himalayan is another niche product with off-road biased built and all new 411cc engine. This motor is good for 32 Nm and offers impressive performance on all types of terrain.
Royal Enfield is yet to announce the entry of bigger 650cc twin cylinder motorcycles to major markets.
