Royal Enfield GT-R750 Prototype to Debut at Continental GT Cup 2026

• Continental GT Cup 2026 calendar released
• Pro riders to compete astride the GT-R750 prototype
• Online registrations for the championship are open

Royal Enfield has announced the sixth edition of the Continental GT Cup retro racing series. The company has announced the entire calendar for the 2026 season, and the online registrations have opened. The main highlight of the championship will be the debut of the Continental GT-R750 race prototype for riders in the Professional category.

The zonal selection round and track school will be held in four cities, including Guwahati, Delhi NCR, Pune, and Bangalore, starting from 16 May and ending in the first week of June. The final rider selection round will be hosted at the Kari Motor Speedway in Coimbatore on 18-21 June, 2026. This will be followed by three rounds of main races taking place at Kari between August and November. The company will provide hospitality support across all rounds, and a price pool of Rs. 20 lakh is also a part of the championship.

While the Amateur riders will continue to compete on the GT-R650 like every year, the participants in the Professional category will race on the new Continental GT-R750 race prototype that made its global debut at the EICMA show in Milan, last year. As has been revealed by the brand, it sports race-tuned suspension, superior brakes, lightweight steel twin exhaust pipes, and a new curvier front fairing. The biggest change will be seen in the engine as the bike will be powered by a bigger 750cc parallel-twin motor that is expected to produce around 55bhp and 65Nm.

The road-going production model of the Continental GT 750 has also been spotted undergoing test runs on multiple occasions till now. And the debut of its race prototype at the GT Cup is certainly an indication that the production model will be also be launched soon after the championship, perhaps towards the end of this year.
