Royal Enfield is preparing to expand its adventure motorcycle range with the upcoming Himalayan 750, which is expected to become the company’s largest capacity Himalayan model. The motorcycle was showcased in India at Royal Enfield’s Himalayan Base Camp event in Leh, Ladakh, giving a closer look at the design, equipment and mechanical package of the upcoming model.
The motorcycle displayed in India is still a pre production model. Royal Enfield has not yet announced the final specifications, official price or confirmed India launch date. However, the showcase and recent testing activity provide several indications about what customers can expect from the production version.
The Himalayan 750 is expected to sit above the Himalayan 450 in Royal Enfield’s adventure motorcycle lineup. Unlike the smaller Himalayan models, the upcoming motorcycle is being developed around a larger twin cylinder engine and appears to have a stronger focus on long distance touring.
The biggest change is expected to be the engine. The Himalayan 750 is likely to use a new parallel twin engine with a displacement close to 750cc. The engine is expected to be based on the architecture of Royal Enfield’s existing 648cc twin cylinder platform, although the company is expected to make changes to the internals and tuning for the larger displacement.
Current reports suggest that the engine could produce approximately 55 bhp, while maximum torque could be around 60 Nm. These figures have not been officially confirmed by Royal Enfield and should therefore be treated as expected specifications. The larger engine should provide stronger highway performance and improved overtaking ability compared with the Himalayan 450.
The motorcycle is also expected to use a six speed gearbox. The larger engine and revised gearing could make the Himalayan 750 more suitable for long distance touring, particularly for riders who regularly travel on highways with luggage or a passenger.
The design of the Himalayan 750 is noticeably larger than the Himalayan 450. The motorcycle features a substantial front section, a taller windscreen, larger tank extensions and an upright riding position. These elements indicate that Royal Enfield is positioning the motorcycle as a long distance adventure tourer rather than a motorcycle designed exclusively for difficult off road riding.
Another important change is the wheel configuration. The Himalayan 750 has been showcased with a 19 inch front wheel and a 17 inch rear wheel. This is different from the 21 inch front wheel used on the Himalayan 450 and suggests a stronger road touring focus. Royal Enfield has also been seen testing versions with spoke wheels, so different wheel options or variants could be offered when the motorcycle reaches production.
The suspension setup is expected to include an inverted front fork and a monoshock at the rear. Reports indicate that the suspension could offer adjustable settings, including preload adjustment. Higher variants may receive additional suspension adjustment and more touring focused equipment.
The Himalayan 750 is also expected to receive several new electronic features. One of the most notable additions is cruise control. This would make long highway journeys more comfortable by allowing riders to maintain a steady speed without continuously holding the throttle.
Traction control is another feature expected on the motorcycle. This would add an electronic safety aid, particularly when riding on surfaces with reduced grip. The showcased motorcycle also featured tyre pressure monitoring, or TPMS. If retained in the production version, the Himalayan 750 would become the first Royal Enfield motorcycle to offer this combination of touring and electronic equipment.
The motorcycle is expected to use a TFT instrument cluster similar in overall design to the unit seen on the Himalayan 450. Expected functions include smartphone connectivity, call and message notifications and Google Maps based navigation. A redesigned joystick on the left hand switchgear is also visible on the showcased motorcycle.
Other expected equipment includes ride by wire, multiple riding modes and a USB Type C charging port. The final equipment list may vary depending on the variant chosen by Royal Enfield.
Braking hardware is expected to include twin discs at the front and a single disc at the rear. The combination of larger brakes, adjustable suspension, electronic rider aids and a bigger engine indicates that Royal Enfield is developing the Himalayan 750 as a more premium motorcycle than the Himalayan 450.
Royal Enfield has not officially confirmed the final India launch date. Recent reports indicate that the production version is expected to make its global debut at EICMA 2026 in November. Some reports expect an India launch around the end of 2026, while others place the India launch in the first quarter of 2027. Royal Enfield’s final announcement will determine the exact timeline.
The expected price is also not officially confirmed. Current estimates place the Himalayan 750 in the range of around Rs 4.5 lakh to Rs 5 lakh, depending on the variant and equipment. The final ex showroom price could be different once Royal Enfield announces the production motorcycle.
With its larger engine, cruise control, traction control, TPMS, TFT display and touring focused design, the Himalayan 750 is expected to occupy a more premium position in Royal Enfield’s motorcycle lineup. More information about the final engine output, variants, features, price and launch date is expected closer to the motorcycle’s official production debut.
