Breaking duties are taken by two-piston floating caliper front brake and single-piston rear brake caliper.
The 2014 Royal Enfield Continental GT sits on 18 inch spoked wheels wrapped in Pirelli Sport Demon tires. As you can see, the new cafe racer features classic styling, Harris-designed frame, Kick/Electric start, 31.5-inch seat height, as well as has a 3.6-gallon fuel tank and a claimed kerb weight of 405.6 pounds.
