Near-production Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 spotted testing

Expected to make its global debut at EICMA 2026
-
Likely to feature a new 750cc twin-cylinder engine and more premium hardware
Royal Enfield’s upcoming Himalayan 750 has been spotted once again, but this time it looks much closer to production than ever before. The adventure motorcycle was seen testing near the brand’s UK Technology Centre in Leicestershire, hinting that development is almost complete. Also, this is very likely an India spec bike as it can be seen with a saree-guard. With the company already confirming that the bike will make its global debut at EICMA 2026, this latest sighting gives us the clearest look yet at what to expect.
Looks Ready For Production
Unlike earlier test bikes, this prototype appears almost production-ready. It no longer carries visible testing equipment or exposed wiring, and even rides on road-focused tyres, suggesting that Royal Enfield is now fine-tuning the motorcycle for mass production.
The overall design takes inspiration from both, the older 411 and the Himalayan 450, but the larger proportions, wider fuel tank and muscular stance give it a much more premium look. The bike gets a circular LED headlight with Royal Enfield branding, a tall windscreen, upright handlebars and a comfortable-looking riding position.
New 750cc Twin-Cylinder Engine
The biggest talking point is the new 750 cc air and oil-cooled parallel-twin engine, which is expected to retain a 270-degree crank layout. While official performance figures are still under wraps, the new motor is expected to produce around 55 PS and 60 Nm, which is more than the current 650cc twin. Overall this should make it a better choice for long-distance touring and highway riding.
The engine also appears to sit inside a completely new tubular chassis. An upswept exhaust, revised header pipes and improved ground clearance further suggest that this is a heavily updated platform rather than a simple engine upgrade.

The upcoming Himalayan 750 is expected to get ride-by-wire throttle, multiple riding modes, cruise control and a new TFT console with smartphone connectivity and navigation. The bike also features an inverted fork, a rear monoshock (both expected to be Showa units). Another highlight here are the twin front disc brakes with ByBre calipers.
What To Expect
Despite carrying the Himalayan name, this motorcycle appears to be on a more road-biased 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheel setup, rather than hardcore off-road focused setup. The cast alloy wheels, road-oriented tyres from Ceat and approachable ergonomics suggest it has been designed primarily for touring, daily riding and occasional dirt trails. However, the bike is also expected to be offered in a more off-road centric 21-inch front and 17-inch rear tubeless spoke wheel setup.
The Himalayan 750 is expected to be the first motorcycle based on Royal Enfield’s new 750cc platform. Going forward, this engine is also likely to power future versions of models such as the Interceptor and Continental GT, replacing the brand’s long-serving 650cc twin. With its expected EICMA 2026 debut, the Himalayan 750 could mark the beginning of Royal Enfield’s next generation of middleweight motorcycles.
It is expected to be launched in India at a price of around Rs 4.50 lakh (ex-showroom), and will rival bikes like the BMW F 450 GS, Honda NX500, and the upcoming Norton Atlas.
