The spy images do not reveal more than the ABS rings seen coupled with the existing model's discs and callipers. This suggests that there will be no change in the bike's overall braking feature.

The Euro4 emission norms will also see the Continental GT feature daytime running lights, even though the images do not reveal much of it. Also, expected is the increase in the use of catalysing precious metal in the system to lower the pollution levels.
