2022 Royal Enfield Twins Anniversary Edition First Look
Cycle News Staff | November 24, 2021
As Royal Enfield celebrates its 120th anniversary, they revealed a “120th Year Anniversary Edition” of both the INT 650 and Continental GT 650. Only a limited run of these motorcycles will be produced, 480 units worldwide to be exact. Royal Enfield is sending 120 of them to North America, with 60 Continental GT 650 and 60 INT 650 models hitting the shores sometime in 2022.
Unique black and chrome color schemes are the big highlight of these limited edition bikes. The bike’s engine components are completely blacked out too, with the engine, silencer and other elements in an all-black color scheme. Along with that are some Royal Enfield genuine accessories like fly screens, engine guards, heel guards, and bar-end mirrors that come standard. Die-cut brass badges also adorn the bikes, crafted from a family known for their effigies in Indian temples.
Inspired by the legendary Royal Enfield Interceptor 750 and Continental GT 250 of the 1960’s, these motorcycles have been key to the brand’s global expansion and success in recent years.
“There was simply no better way of celebrating this milestone than sharing a piece of it with our consumers around the world,” said Siddhartha Lal, Managing Director of Eicher Motors Ltd. “We are delighted to bring the 120th Anniversary Edition 650 Twin motorcycles to enthusiasts around the world, and share the brand’s legacy with them. Both the INT and the Continental GT are hugely successful around the world today, as they were in the 1960’s, and truly represent our heritage of making simple and enjoyable motorcycles.”
