Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 Review

20 Jan, 2023 12:30 PM

Detailed Review by Maxabout Team

Overview

The BS6-compliant model of Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 was launched in the Indian markets back in March 2020. Recently, the Chennai-based motorcycle brand updated the CGT 650 with new colour options for 2023. Currently, this cafe racer-style motorcycle is available in India with a starting price tag of INR 3.06 lakhs. The bike features a similar design when compared with the BS4 version. Here are the complete details about the 2023 Royal Enfield Continental GT 650.

Design & Style

The 2023 model of the BS6-compliant Continental GT 650 carries forward the design language of the discontinued Continental GT 535. The cafe racer motorcycle carries an aesthetic design that will remind you of the 60’s era. The bike looks very beautiful because of its distinctive style. The clip-on handlebar on Continental GT 650 makes it look attractive and provides a comfortable riding stance to the user. The hand-polished aluminum engine cover gives the bike a rich and premium feel and all of the colour options are unique and impressive in terms of looks and style.

Engine & Gearbox

The 2023 Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 gets the brand’s best engine which is now more refined. It is powered by BS6-compliant 648cc, fuel-injected, parallel-twin engine that churns out 47 HP of maximum power at 7150 rpm and 52 Nm of peak torque at 5250 rpm. It comes mated to a 6-speed transmission. The bike looks identical to the BS4 model as it does not have an additional catalytic converter on the header pipe of the exhaust system. It seems that the company has integrated the additional catalytic converter into the twin exhaust pipe layout. This is by far the most responsive engine by the brand on offer.

Instrument Console

The 2023 RE Continental GT 650 motorcycle features a digital-analog instrument console. It displays the essential information that includes a speedometer, a tachometer, a trip meter, an odometer, and a fuel gauge. The instrument cluster of the bike looks quite classic and comparing it with its BS4 counterpart, it remains exactly the same. It also has a low fuel and low oil indicator.

 Dimensions, Mileage & Top Speed

The New Continental GT 650 measures 2122 mm in length, 789 mm in width, and 1165 mm in height. It has a ground clearance of 174 mm, which is remarkable for a Cafe Racer. The wheelbase of the motorcycle is 1400 mm while the kerb weight stands at 202 kg. In terms of mileage, the bike is capable to return around 22-26 kmpl under mixed riding conditions. The top speed of the bike is around 165-170 kmph (approximate). The motorcycle gets a fuel tank capacity of 13.7 litres, which is on the lower side and the company should have provided at least 15 litres of capacity.

Brakes & Suspension

The New Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 motorcycle rides on steel tubular, double-cradle frame. The suspension duties of the bike are handled by telescopic forks at the front and gas-charged shock absorbers at the rear. The front-end of the bike feels superb and the shocks will absorb every bump on the road effortlessly. The rear shocks are also good enough to provide decent stability at higher speeds. The stopping power of the bike comes from a 320mm disc at the front and a 240mm disc at the rear. It is mated to dual-channel ABS as standard. It rides on 18-inch spoke wheel tyres and they are not tubeless.

Colors & Graphics

The Chennai-based 2-wheeler brand has launched four new colours for the 2023 model of CGT 650: Rocker Red, British Racing Green, Dux Deluxe and Ventura Storm. In addition to the new shades, the motorcycle continues to be available in Mr Clean (Chrome Edition). In total, like the 2022 version, the MY2023 Continental GT 650 is available in five colour options.

Verdict and Competitors

The 2023 model of the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 continues to rule the hearts of bike lovers with its astonishing looks. However, it is fair to expect that in future the brand will provide the bike with a center stand and tubeless tyres. The centre stand for the bike is available as an accessory for now. The cafe racer motorcycle has a service interval of 10,000 kms which means that it is easier to maintain. At present, there is no direct competition for the RE Continental GT 650 in the Indian markets.

Questions and Answers

Most Popular Answers for Royal Enfield Continental GT 650
How to check engine oil level in Royal Enfield Continental GT 650?
07 January 2023 14:27

Checking the engine oil level in your Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 is easy and only takes a few minutes. Firstly, you will need to locate the oil dipstick. This can be found on the right side of the engine block. Once you have located the dipstick, pull it out and wipe off the excess oil on the dipstick with a paper towel. Once it is clean, re-insert the dipstick and then pull it out again. This will give you a more accurate reading of your oil level. If the oil level is between the two marks on the dipstick, then your oil level is good. However, if it is below the lower mark, then you should add more oil to your engine.

Is there any harm in installing custom exhaust - Royal Enfield Continental GT 650?
07 January 2023 14:21

Installing a custom exhaust system on your Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 can be a great way to customize your ride and make it stand out from the crowd. However, it is important to be aware that custom exhaust systems can potentially cause more harm than good if not installed properly. An incorrect installation can lead to engine damage, reduced fuel efficiency, and excessive noise. It is therefore important to make sure that the installation is done correctly and that all necessary parts are in good condition. Additionally, it is important to check local laws to make sure that the exhaust is not too loud for the area you live in.

Can we remove DB killers from stock exhaust for Royal Enfield Continental GT 650?
07 January 2023 14:16

Removing the DB killers from the stock exhaust of the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 is possible, but there are a few things to consider before doing so. The first is that it will increase the sound from the exhaust, so if you do decide to remove them make sure that it is done legally. The second is that it can negatively affect the performance of the bike, so it's important to get the tuning done by a professional if you go this route. Ultimately, it's best to weigh the pros and cons before making any decisions.

It is powered by a 650cc, single-cylinder, fuel-injected engine that produces 47 bhp and 52 Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox with a smooth shifting pattern and a slipper clutch for better control. The bike also has a comfortable riding position and a relaxed riding posture, making it perfect for touring.

Rahul Singh Oinam

The Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 is a powerful and very eye-catching bike in the price segment. It features two exhausts accompanied by two cylinders that provide a smooth and powerful output. The bike can reach 0-100 in no time, making it great for high-speed rides. The braking is average, however, and the stock tyres are not up to the mark. The cooling system is also the worst ever in a 650. Although Royal Enfield has done a great job with the Continental GT 650, it has compromised on a lot of features, giving it a 6/10 overall rating.

Agha Saquib Raza
