Royal Enfield has released the first official details of the Himalayan 750, a model positioned above the Himalayan 450 and expected to become the largest-capacity motorcycle in the current range. Its first public appearance is scheduled for EICMA 2026 in Milan, while Indian-market availability is expected towards the end of November.

The main change is the engine. The Himalayan 750 replaces the 450’s single-cylinder unit with a new parallel twin, described as an evolution of Royal Enfield’s existing 650 twin. It is referred to as a 750 cc engine, although Royal Enfield has not yet confirmed the exact displacement. Performance is currently estimated at around 55 to 60 horsepower and 65 Nm of torque, with neither figure confirmed. A six-speed gearbox and slip-and-assist clutch are also expected.

The styling takes a retro-modern direction, led by a large round headlight, while the underlying package is new. It uses a new frame, Showa upside-down forks and a rear monoshock operating through linkage. The 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels set it apart from the Himalayan 450’s 21-inch front wheel and point to a stronger road and touring bias. Braking at the front is handled by two discs. The expected assistance package adds two-channel ABS with the option of disabling the rear channel.

Long-distance equipment includes cruise control, traction control and a tyre-pressure monitoring system. A colour circular TFT display provides smartphone connectivity and Google Maps navigation. Royal Enfield has also shown touring accessories intended for longer journeys. Wheel equipment will vary by version, with some motorcycles using spoke wheels and others cast aluminium wheels. The listed colours are Antarctic Silver, Siberia White, Viking Bronze, Tectonic Black and Aztec Green. European dealer arrival is estimated for the first quarter of 2027.
