This Royal Enfield Continental GT Tracker Is a True Masterpiece, Was Dubbed the Moose

Worawit’s background was firmly rooted in graphic design, while Vudanan was a former banker looking to ditch the office desk in favor of a workshop. The two hadn’t known each other for very long when they decided to join forces, but their collaboration turned into a very fruitful endeavor over time. Nowadays, Zeus employs a sizeable team of bike-modding specialists fully dedicated to their craft.

Besides earning the seal of approval from the general public, the crew’s projects have also drawn a fair bit of attention from manufacturers. The build we’re about to inspect is the result of a direct collaboration between Zeus and Royal Enfield, which took place back in 2019 but is still worth talking about today. As a starting point, the guys were provided with a Continental GT fresh off the assembly line.

Royal Enfield had recently debuted its 650cc twins at the time, and sought to boost their popularity with a selection of custom ventures from top-tier firms. The Zeus squad was thrilled to be a part of this whole ordeal, but it wasn’t the first time they took a commission from the Enfield marque. Previously, the Thai gurus came up with a rad Interceptor cafe racer for a similar undertaking, so they had a pretty good idea of what they were working with here.

This time around, their aim was to build a groovy street tracker with neo-retro looks and clean, sweeping contours. Dubbed Moose, the end result may not be very practical for everyday riding, but it’s one hell of a sight to behold! Zeus Custom’s wizardry is in full swing wherever you look, yet it is most prevalent at the motorcycle’s rear end.

As such, we deem it fit to begin our analysis in that area. The Continental GT saw its stock subframe deleted altogether, and a curvy bespoke alternative has been welded on in its stead. What’s more, Zeus also got rid of the original twin-shock suspension arrangement, replacing it with a high-grade aftermarket monoshock from YSS.

Needless to say, some extensive tweaking of the swingarm would’ve been required to fit this new setup, so the guys found it easier to just build a one-off replacement from scratch. The stylish brown leather seat placed atop the subframe was also fabricated in-house, and so was the pointy tail section found a bit further back. We see a tubular taillight assembly protruding from its underside, with two vertically stacked LEDs sitting within.

Moving toward the front end, you will still find the stock GT fuel tank on the Moose, but it’s been modified with a lateral filler cap and embellished with a decorative steel bar up top. A similar, albeit downsized add-on is present on the tail unit, as well, only serving a cosmetic purpose just like the one arching over the gas tank. In typical tracker fashion, there are no fenders to speak of.

The specimen’s updated attire was finished off with a mesmerizing front fairing, which features two layers and a small headlight in between. Have a gander at its cockpit area, and you’ll be greeted by a very interesting pair of chromed clip-ons that curve upward like a single-piece module. They’re the inspiration behind the motorcycle’s nickname, sporting aftermarket rubber grips and bar-end turn signals.

Zeus shortened the forks by around one inch (25 mm) to get the machine’s posture just right, while also crafting a custom brace for structural rigidity. The front brake appears to have been taken out of the equation, and both wheels got wrapped in flat-track rubber from Dunlop’s range. Although the Continental GT’s parallel-twin mill is internally unchanged, it does benefit from some new breathing equipment.

Brass velocity stacks have been installed on the intake side of things, but what really draws our attention is the exhaust pipework. Made of stainless-steel tubing, it immediately reminds us of Auto Fabrica’s signature style, seamlessly curving its way back to a pair of brass-plated tips. Now, there was one more thing for Zeus to address before calling it a day – the Moose’s paintwork.

After some careful consideration, they went with a white and dark grey color scheme executed in a way that further emphasizes the shop’s design language. The engine covers were powder-coated black to make the exhaust pipes stand out even more, and a similar treatment was applied to the rims. Obviously, the Moose is far from your regular street tracker build, with more snazzy traits than you can shake a stick at!
