BREAKING: Upcoming Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 Showcased At EICMA 2026

Royal Enfield has unveiled its upcoming flagship adventure motorcycle at EICMA 2026, the Himalayan 750. The India prices are not out yet, however the brand has released all of the bike’s specifications. 

Bigger Engine, More Power, More Torque

When compared to the brand’s tried and tested 650 cc parallel-twin engine, this new motor uses 90% new parts. It has got a larger stroke, higher valve lift, magnesium covers, shorter fins, plated cylinder bore and much more. It is now a 743 cc unit that makes a healthy 55 PS at 7,000 rpm, and 63 Nm at 5,000 rpm. These figures make this the most powerful Royal Enfield engine currently in production. According to Royal Enfield this engine produces 90% of the peak torque from just 3,500 rpm, due to which its low and mid range performance is expected to be quite strong. 

Another interesting thing is that although the engine is bigger, it still weighs as much as its 650cc counterpart. To do so the brand has used magnesium engine covers, a single-bore throttle body, and a 2-in-1 exhaust system. Other than this, it gets a 6-speed gearbox with a slip and assist clutch. 

Numbers: 

• Engine: 743 cc, air and oil-cooled

• Power: 55 PS at 7,000 rpm

• Torque: 63 Nm at 5,000 rpm

• Idle RPM: 1,300 rpm

• Compression ratio: 9:5:1

• Gearbox: 6-speed

Underpinnings 

The Himalayan 750 uses an all-new steel frame along with 43 mm Showa inverted fork setup, and a Showa linked monoshock at the rear. The suspension setup is fully adjustable for compression and rebound for the front, and for preload and rebound at the rear. It gets 190 mm front and 175 mm rear wheel travel, which is lower than the Himalayan 450 which gets 200 mm of wheel travel at both ends. 

This bike runs on a 19-inch front, and a 17-inch rear wheel setup. The tubeless spoke wheel variant gets Vredestein Centauro XR block pattern tyres, 110-section at the front and 150-section at the rear, while the alloy wheels variant uses Ceat Crossrad RT tyres. At 224 kg (kerb), this is not the lightest adventure bike out there, and is 30 kg heavier than the Himalayan 450. The ground clearance is 205 mm, while the seat height is 815 mm. Another major improvement can be seen in terms of the braking hardware, as the bike now uses a 280 mm twin disc setup at the front, and a 255 mm disc at the rear.

Numbers:

• Front Wheel Travel: 190 mm

• Rear Wheel Travel: 175 mm

• Front Tyre Size: 110/80-R19

• Rear Tyre Size: 150/70-R17

• Seat Height: 815 mm

• Ground Clearance: 205 mm

• Kerb Weight: 224 kg

• Front Brakes: 280 mm twin discs

• Rear Brakes: 255 mm single disc

• Fuel Tank Capacity: 17.8-litre

How Does It Look?

The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 gets a more imposing road presence, with its larger proportions giving it a proper big ADV stance. The front end features a round LED headlight, a tall windscreen and chunky front suspension, while the muscular metal fuel tank adds to its rugged appeal. The upright handlebar, split-seat setup and high-mounted exhaust further complement its adventure-touring character. The bike will be available in 5 colour options: Antarctic Silver, Siberia White, Aztec Green, Viking Bronze, and Tectonic Black. 

The Features List

The Himalayan 750 gets a comprehensive feature package, headlined by a 4-inch TFT console, similar to the one seen on the Himalayan 450. It supports smartphone connectivity, Google Maps mirroring, call/SMS alerts, and over-the-air (OTA) updates. The bike also gets a ride-by-wire throttle with five riding modes: Road, Road Sport, Rain, Trail and Custom. Other highlights include cruise control and switchable lean sensitive traction control with three levels – Low, Medium and High, along with an Off option. There is dual channel cornering ABS as well. It also gets all-LED lighting, a tyre pressure monitoring system, two USB Type-C charging ports and self-cancelling indicators.

Variants 

The bike has three variants and a total of five colour options: Top (Antarctic Silver), Spoke Wheels (Siberia White, Viking Bronze) and Alloy Wheels ( Aztec Green, Tectonic Black). Except for the wheels setup and colours, everything else remains the same between the Spoke and Alloy wheels variants. While the top Antarctic White will come loaded with Givi touring accessories as standard. The accessories list includes: panniers, top-box, hand-guards, and even heated grips. All of these accessories can be bought as options for all other models as well. 

BikeDekho Says

The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 looks quite promising on-paper. The new engine is powerful, the hardware is modern, and the features list should make it more capable while long-distance touring. Looking at the specs, tells us that Royal Enfield has not tried to make the Himalayan 750 a very capable off-road machine like the Himalayan 450, as the wheel travel, front wheel size, and ground clearance are low. But this should focus more on being a power-packed, road-focused adventure tourer, with decent off-road capabilities.

Unveiled internationally, its India launch is expected to take place at MotoVerse in a few days. Once launched it will compete with bikes like the Honda NX500, and Kawasaki Versys 650.
