In a treat for bike enthusiasts, Royal Enfield has unveiled the 2017 versions of the Bullet and Continental GT models for the European market. The main update is that both bikes are now Euro-4 compliant, conforming to the soon to be mandatory emission norms.
Also, the bikes have now been equipped with ABS, which will be a standard fitment onwards from the 2017 edition.
The company has kept the overall design of the 2017 edition Bullet and Continental GT models the same as to maintain the retro theme. The Classic variant now gets a disc brake setup at the rear instead of the drum brake unit. Other updates include new front fender cut-out and a simple screw cap for the fuel tank.
