The Interceptor gets four new colour options, including two blacked-out variants – Black Ray, Barcelona Blue and a new custom dual colour way – Black Pearl and Cali Green. The Continental GT will get two new blacked-out versions – Slipstream Blue and Apex grey. These will be offered alongside Mr clean, Dux Deluxe, British racing green and Rocker red.
The Blacked out variants feature a blacked-out theme across the engine, alloy wheels, exhaust and side panels. The bikes also get LED headlights, USB chargers, updated switchgear and alloy wheels. It should be noted that the alloy wheels are only offered with only blacked-out variants.
It is expected that Royal Enfield might soon launch alloy wheels with other colour variants. The new LED headlights seem to be borrowed from the newly launched Super Meteor 650 and components like USB chargers and switchgear seem to be borrowed from the Royal Enfield Hunter 350.
