Renowned motorcycle manufacturer Royal Enfield has announced a special edition of its Continental GT 650 motorcycle by partnering with Belstaff. The renowned British riding apparel company recently partnered with Royal Enfield to produce exclusive apparel for motorcycle enthusiasts. To celebrate Royal Enfield’s 120th anniversary, Belstaff created heritage-inspired t-shirts, zip-up sweatshirts, caps, enamel mugs, and two limited-edition jackets. Since 1924, Belstaff has been the go-to choice for most adventure riders as they deliver high-performance outerwear and jackets.
To commemorate the partnership, the new special edition Continental GT 650 gets a unique, black and white dual-tone colour scheme. The Cafe racer-styled bike gets custom knee pads around the fuel tank, surrounded by fabric at its centre. Additionally, the fabric present on the fuel tank of the Belstaff edition Continental GT 650 features special edition badges. Apart from these new visual highlights, the bike retains the rounded halogen headlight, a wide handlebar, and a twin-dial instrument cluster.
Royal Enfield has equipped the Continental GT 650 with a BS6 compliant, 648cc air/oil-cooled, 4-valve/cylinder parallel-twin engine. The engine also sports a SOHC valvetrain and twin throttle bodies with Bosch electronic fuel injection and engine management system. Therefore, the engine produces 47 PS of power and 52 Nm of torque and comes equipped with a 6-speed gearbox. Along with a slipper assist clutch, the bike sports 41mm conventional telescopic front forks with 110mm of suspension travel.
Additionally, Royal Enfield has equipped the rear of the bike with piggyback, gas-charged, twin shock absorbers with 88mm of travel. In terms of braking, the Continental GT 650 sports a single 320mm front disc and a 240mm rear disc.
