XTR Pepo’s motorcycles are instantly recognizable for their unique blend of vibrant colors, bold shapes, and utilitarian aesthetic. The Lilith, a custom cafe racer, exemplifies Pepo Rosell’s signature style.

Starting with a crashed Royal Enfield Continental GT 650, Pepo spared no expense in resurrecting the bike. The rear subframe was completely replaced with a custom-built piece, supporting an LED taillight, aftermarket turn signals, and a minimalist license plate holder.

A custom-made saddle, upholstered in black leather, offers both comfort and vintage appeal. The damaged stock fuel tank was replaced with a bespoke fiberglass unit that retains the original shape while incorporating a race-style billet aluminum filler cap. As we journey northward, we encounter a stunning transformation of the Royal Enfield GT 650. The once familiar lines have been sculpted into a sleek, endurance-inspired silhouette.

A custom fairing, adorned with twin headlights and a clear windshield, dominates the front, while the rear end has been raised with fully adjustable YSS shocks. The bike’s handling has been refined with lighter rims and ContiRoadAttack 3 tires, and braking power has been enhanced with a Brembo master cylinder and stainless-steel lines. The cockpit features clip-on handlebars, rearsets, and Highsider mirrors, creating an aggressive riding position.

Under the skin, performance upgrades include DNA air filters and a stainless-steel exhaust. The final touch is a stunning paint job by Artenruta, perfectly complementing the bike’s custom components. The result is a machine that not only looks incredible but also delivers a thrilling riding experience.

The combination of the powerful 650cc parallel-twin engine, improved handling, and enhanced braking performance makes it a joy to ride on both winding roads and open highways. The custom touches, such as the fairing, the clip-on handlebars, and the rearsets, give the bike a unique character that sets it apart from the stock model.
