The evolution of Royal Enfield cafe racer
Royal Enfield, a brand that has made a name for itself in the motorcycle world with the shear strength of the performance and quality of its products. The company famous for its cruisers and heavy duty motorcycles has also dominated
the cafe racer segment for years now, evolving with time the brand’s flagship product the Continental GT has came a long way. Ever since the year 1965, when the company started producing the Continental GT as one of the first factory assembled racers that gave enthusiasts the pleasure of owning an ‘off the shelf’ racer and zooming past the world. As soon as the cafe racer went for sale the competition took a major blow and most of the brands saw a steep decline in their sales. The major reason behind this instant fame of
the Royal Enfield cafe racer was the amalgamation of power and performance that the bike delivered. The 1965 variant came with a 250cc engine, a 4 stroke motor and delivered an enormous peak power of 21bhp. This not only made the bike fast but also enhanced its performance by leaps and bounds. Over the years this particular racer has had a stronghold on the segment and then came the 2013 variant of the Continental GT. New and improved yet keeping the trademark style statement attached. The 2013 Continental GT is one of a kind, and the design makes this bike a winwin for the user. Light in weight and the strong frame design are the USPs of this particular bike. The bike houses a 553cc engine with a 5 speed gearbox that makes this bike faster than any of the competitors at the present time. Since the engine used in this cafe racer is somewhat on the lines of the Bullet series, the light weight of the frame enhances power and helps the racer deliver a peak power of 29.1 bhp. All of this and the modernised design features help keep the basic design intact and the trademark red, sculpted fuel tank makes this particular journey a memorable one.
