Ever since its inception, Royal Enfield's Build. Train. Race. program has been about getting more women out on track, which is excellent to see. And also, since the beginning, it's been utilizing its 650 parallel twin platform to get the job done, in the form of the INT650 in its Flat Track program, and the Continental GT 650 in its Road Racing program.
That's all well and good, but for its eighth season, BTR has opted to switch it up. You see, behind the scenes, Johnny Lewis has been putting the purpose-built GRR450 through its paces in the dirt at Royal Enfield's Slide School. And now, for 2027, BTR just announced that it's officially bringing the GRR450 platform to its Flat Track program for the first time ever.
