Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 Unveiled At EICMA: Top 5 Observations

The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 test bike has been unveiled at EICMA 2025, giving us a clear idea about the key aspects of the bike. It will be based on the brand’s new 750cc engine platform, a big step up from the 650. Here are some of the key takeaways from the EICMA reveal:

Bigger Engine = More Power?

The biggest talking point has to be the 750cc engine. This is a heavily reworked version of the currently available 650cc engine. We expect the new engine to produce 55PS and 60Nm, which would be a bump of 8PS and 8Nm compared to the 650cc engine’s output of 47.1PS and 52.3Nm. With this bigger engine, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 should offer better (and more refined) touring capabilities than the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450. In other news, the brand had also teased a race bike based on the upcoming Continental GT 750, which should be coming to India soon.

Adjustable Suspension

The Himalayan 750 is built on a new chassis, and is suspended on an inverted fork and monoshock. The fork on the test mule is adjustable, likely for rebound and compression, whereas the monoshock will likely be preload adjustable.

This will add a great level of versatility to the bike, allowing riders to adjust the suspension according to their needs.

Multiple Variants?

The bike rolls on a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel combination, but we have seen it in both cross spoke wheels and alloy wheels. This indicates that the brand may offer the bike in multiple variants. 

The cross spoke wheels should be able absorb impacts better than alloy wheels which are inherently rigid. Better yet, it can accommodate tubeless tyres, so you don’t have to worry about rapid deflation in case of a puncture. All said and done, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 will still be a touring-oriented ADV, and may not be designed for hardcore off-roading (as it lacks a large 21-inch front wheel, which is crucial for such purposes). Of course, this one will also be a heavy motorcycle, and that’s not ideal in an off-road-friendly ADV. 

Cruise Control & More Features

The bike will get a cruise control system, which should make highway rides a lot more effortless. Riders can activate the system by just turning on a button on the right-hand side switchgear. We craved this feature on the Himalayan 450, so we’re glad to see it on the 750.

The bike has the same round TFT console as the Royal Enfield Bear 650 and the Himalayan 450. It offers all the necessary features including smartphone connectivity for full-fledged navigation, call/SMS alerts and music controls. There's full-LED lighting too. The Himalayan 450 has a 17-litre fuel tank, so expect this one to (hopefully) have a larger 20-odd litre tank.

Himalayan 750 Launch Timeline

Royal Enfield confirmed that the global debut of the final production version will be at the 2026 EICMA. So, expect the brand to unveil the bike in India at Motoverse that year-end. The launch and deliveries are expected to happen only in early 2027. 

The bike will likely be priced at Rs 4.5 lakh (ex-showroom, for the base variant). The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 will be a much more affordable alternative in the 650-800cc ADV segment, and will be perfect for those who want a capable ADV without having to break the bank.
