Royal Enfield is expanding the Himalayan family with the Himalayan 750, its largest-displacement version so far. The adventure touring motorcycle moves to an air-and-oil-cooled 743cc parallel twin while retaining the range’s practical, exploration-focused identity. Peak torque is 63Nm at 5,000rpm, and 90% of that torque is available from 3,500rpm. The figures point to an engine designed to deliver useful response well before the top of the rev range, rather than relying only on its headline capacity.

A steel chassis built for distance

The Himalayan 750 uses a steel frame and dual front disc brakes. Its seat height is 815mm, with 205mm of ground clearance, while a 17-litre fuel tank gives the motorcycle the basic hardware for longer journeys. A 195kg payload, adjustable windscreen and separate rider and passenger seats reinforce that touring brief. These are practical details rather than cosmetic additions: they define how much equipment and how many consecutive hours the motorcycle is intended to accommodate.

The wheel sizes are 19 inches at the front and 17 inches at the rear, with tubeless tyres. Buyers will be able to choose between cast aluminium and spoked aluminium rims. That gives the new model two wheel configurations within the same family, while preserving the familiar 19/17 adventure layout. The combination is suited to a motorcycle expected to move between ordinary roads and less predictable surfaces.

Cornering electronics and five riding modes

Five riding modes allow the motorcycle’s behaviour to be adjusted for different conditions. A six-axis inertial measurement unit supports cornering ABS and lean-sensitive traction control, while cruise control adds a long-distance function that will matter most on extended road sections. Royal Enfield has therefore given the 750 a substantial electronic package, but the equipment is presented as assistance for the rider rather than the central reason for the motorcycle’s existence.

The larger step in the Himalayan family

The family began with the Himalayan 411 in 2016, followed by the Himalayan 450 in 2023. The Himalayan 440 was added later as another member of the range. B. Govindarajan, managing director of Eicher Motors Ltd. and chief executive officer of Royal Enfield, says the Himalayan community now numbers more than 320,000 riders worldwide. The 750 takes that established idea into a larger displacement class, adding a parallel-twin engine and a wider spread of equipment without abandoning the model family’s straightforward character.

Three versions, three finishes

Royal Enfield will offer the Himalayan 750 in three versions. The cast-wheel model will be finished in Aztec Green. The spoked-wheel version will be available in Viking Bronze and Siberia White. At the top of the range, the flagship will come in Antarctic Silver and include exclusive luggage designed in collaboration with GIVI. Pricing is expected to be announced soon. Until then, the key change is clear: the Himalayan name is moving to 743cc, while retaining the travel equipment, 19/17-inch wheel format and rider-support electronics that define this new interpretation of the family.
