The Continental GT 535 was Royal Enfield's modern take on the 1960s café racer, pairing an enlarged 535 cc fuel-injected Bullet-derived single with a new steel twin-downtube frame developed with Harris Performance. Brembo-type disc brakes, alloy rims, clip-on bars and a low flat tank gave it a sporting look. Reviewers found it smooth and torquey at low revs but short of top-end power, and it was positioned as an affordable alternative to bigger café racers.
