Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 – What to expect?
It is no secret that Royal Enfield has been developing a twin-cylinder Himalayan. We’ve earlier shared multiple spy shot articles, where their test mules were either seen in Europe or in India.
Now, the company has released the first set of images, where the upcoming Himalayan 750 is being tested in Ladakh along with the Electric Himalayan.
While the photos shared are not close shots, these certainly reveal the critical details about the new bike. First, it adopts the same design language as the Himalayan 450, but with the necessary adjustments to its dimensions.
The camouflaged fuel tank appears to be larger than that of the Himalayan 450, and it lacks the front luggage carriers, which we believe are reserved for a later stage of development.
Second, the exhaust can is a two-in-one system with a typical upright setup, mimicking the bigger adventure bikes like the Triumph Tiger 900. The split seat, upright handlebar, and tall windshield sum up the comfortable riding position.
Hardware-wise, there is a lot to tell. It gets spoke wheels, which are likely to be tubeless. Additionally, it has a twin-disc brake setup at the front and a single disc at the rear.
The front USD suspension unit is much thicker than the Himalayan 450, while it uses a monoshock at the rear. We suspect that it will get a fully adjustable suspension.
Meanwhile, the headlight, taillights, and the overall silhouette are identical to the smaller Himalayan. However, it is the powerplant that is interesting to notice.
Most likely, the engine it is using is a 750cc parallel-twin, as reported by multiple online publications. It is assumed to be a reworked version of the current 650cc engine, but with more power and torque. It still uses the air/oil-cooling, as on the 650cc lineup.
Feature-wise, the circular TFT screen from the Himalayan 450 has been carried over, which will offer Bluetooth connectivity, ride modes, traction modes, Google Maps navigation support, and more.
Speaking of the launch timeline, we anticipate that the company will reveal it at the upcoming EICMA 2025 later this year. Following it, the India display would be most probably at the IBW 2025, and a launch might have been scheduled for the first-quarter of 2026.
Pricing of the upcoming Himalayan 750 is expected to be Rs 3.75-4 lakh (ex-showroom).
Our verdict
The upcoming Himalayan 750 will become the new flagship bike for the Chennai-based cult manufacturer. It is also likely to become the first motorcycle to debut the bigger 750cc engine globally. More details will surface as we proceed towards its debut timeline.
