2021 Continental GT 650 spy pics have emerged that suggest that Royal Enfield is working on an update of the cafe racer; it may get new features.
Ever since their launch in 2018, the 650 twins have become key growth drivers for Royal Enfield, especially in the overseas market. The two models are the flagbearers for RE in the European market. Even in India, they are doing pretty impressive numbers.
Now, it looks like the company is planning mid-life upgrades for these models. This gets cleared as the Continental GT 650 has been snapped wearing test number plates.
The bike’s new spy shots were captured by an automotive enthusiast – Arjun, near ECR in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Though the company has not yet officially announced updates to these bikes, we expect to see them getting launched sometime in the coming year.
As the test mule suggests, do not expect any major changes in the bike. Apart from minor niptucks to the engine, Royal Enfield is expected to throw in new features. Since Meteor 350 already comes with Bluetooth enabled tripper navigation system, the flagship 650s will definitely get this feature.
