Royal Enfield Continental GT Cup Season 3: Continental GT-R650s Details
Riders from all over the country participate in the Continental GT Cup because it's an incredible introduction to the sport of track racing. Each rider will control a specially prepped, identical Continental GT-R650 equipped with a Royal Enfield 648cc parallel-twin engine that has garnered a lot of attention and acclaim.
The classic cafe racer half fairing was designed in-house and constructed from race-pedigree fibre-reinforced plastic, making it light, flexible, stiff, and aesthetically pleasing. Better aerodynamics and visibility are both provided by the acrylic bubble screen, which also shields the racer from buffeting. Race clip-ons, which are lighter and lower, conceal the rider behind the fairing. When riding with a confident racer triangle, the rider's position lower above the tank improves aerodynamics.
The racing ECU used to tune this year's Continental GT-R650 ensures even better track performance. This is based on the important takeaways from the past two seasons.
