Royal Enfield Continental GT 750 Unveiled: New 750cc Café Racer Revealed at EICMA 2026

 Royal Enfield unveiled the bike at EICMA 2026 in Milan, but final power and torque have not been revealed and no launch date is set. The same 743cc engine makes 55hp and 63Nm in the Himalayan 750. The GT 750’s output is unconfirmed.

Claimed versus tested and owner-reported mileage

No GT 750 figures exist in any category. The nearest benchmark is the GT 650:

Expect the larger, likely more powerful GT 750 to land near or below these figures. That is an inference, not a measurement.

City, highway, touring and mixed mileage

Segment-wise GT 750 data does not exist. I have not invented splits. For planning, this article uses 24 kmpl as a mixed-use assumption, the low end of GT 650 owner reports. Highway cruising usually helps efficiency and dense traffic hurts it, but we cannot quantify that for the GT 750. This section should be updated after independent tests.

Monthly fuel expense by daily distance

Assumptions: 24 kmpl, Delhi petrol ₹102.12/litre (₹4.26/km), 30 days.

Petrol prices by city

Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata rates were last verified on 29 June 2026, and Chennai’s on 13 August 2026. I could not verify rates for today (5 November 2026), so check current prices before publishing.

Complete monthly ownership cost

Fuel is the only component we can calculate responsibly. Price, insurance premium, service schedule and finance terms are unannounced.

For a rough price reference, the GT 650 sells at about ₹3.19–3.45 lakh ex-showroom in Delhi. The GT 750 price is unannounced.

Comparison with similar bikes

Rival mileage figures are ARAI claims. Costs use Delhi petrol at ₹102.12 and 12,000 km a year.

The comparison is unequal. Rivals use claimed figures and the GT 750 uses a conservative real-world assumption, so real savings would be smaller. The 650 twins cluster closely, so the gap only matters against smaller single-cylinder bikes.

Integrating Drivio’s mileage comparator

Once data exists, Drivio can add:

• A GT 750 entry with a “claimed” or “assumed” label on each figure

• Side-by-side GT 750, GT 650 and Interceptor 650 views

• City-specific petrol inputs with a visible verification date

• Daily-distance sliders matching the 10–100 km scenarios above

Relevant Drivio pages to connect from this article are the Royal Enfield vehicle listings, the mileage comparator and the financing page.

Tips to improve mileage

• Hold steady throttle, and shift up early on a 750cc twin’s torque

• Keep tyre pressure at the manufacturer’s recommended level

• Service the bike on schedule, including air filter and chain tension

• Avoid hard acceleration, the main cause of lower owner-reported figures

• Trim unnecessary weight

Conclusion

The GT 750 suits riders who want café-racer styling and 750cc character, not the lowest running cost. At our assumed 24 kmpl it costs about ₹1.30 more per kilometre than a KTM 390 Duke on claimed figures. That is roughly ₹16,000 a year at 12,000 km. Riders covering 10–30 km daily will find fuel a small part of ownership. Those covering 60–100 km daily will feel the difference more, as will anyone choosing between the GT 750 and the GT 650. Wait for the launch price and independent tests before committing.
