The new adventure motorcycle has been spotted in multiple colours with alloy and tubeless spoke wheels, ahead of its expected EICMA 2026 debut
Royal Enfield is getting closer to launching its biggest Himalayan yet. The Himalayan 750 has been spotted again in production-ready form, and the latest images give us a much clearer idea of what the finished motorcycle will look like. The latest prototypes were seen during what appears to be a TVC shoot, with the motorcycles wearing production-spec colours and carrying touring accessories. This is a significant step up from the heavily camouflaged test bikes seen earlier.
The latest motorcycles have been seen in four different colour combinations, including a maroon-and-gold finish, white with contrasting graphics and a brown shade. One of the motorcycles also appears to be running alloy wheels, while the others feature cross-spoke wheels. The Himalayan 750 will retain the familiar adventure-bike proportions, but it looks considerably larger than the Himalayan 450. It gets a taller windscreen, larger fairing, muscular tank extensions, a stepped seat and a proper rear luggage rack. The motorcycles spotted during the shoot were also carrying soft luggage, underlining the bike’s touring focus.
The biggest change is underneath the bodywork. The Himalayan 750 will be the first motorcycle to use Royal Enfield’s new 750 cc parallel-twin platform. The engine is expected to be based on the existing 648 cc twin-cylinder architecture, but with a larger displacement and revised internals. Royal Enfield has not revealed the final numbers yet. Current estimates suggest around 55 bhp and 60-65 Nm, with the engine paired with a six-speed gearbox. The Himalayan 750 also gets a 2-into-1 exhaust, unlike the twin-exhaust setup used on most of Royal Enfield’s current 650 cc motorcycles.
The equipment list is expected to be a significant step up from the Himalayan 450. Earlier test bikes have revealed a cruise-control switch, while the motorcycle is also expected to get ride-by-wire, multiple riding modes and switchable traction control. Hardware includes USD front forks, a rear monoshock with remote preload adjustment and twin front brake discs. The bike is expected to retain the 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel combination. Both alloy and tubeless cross-spoke wheel options appear to be on the cards.
The Himalayan 750 will sit above the Himalayan 450 and become Royal Enfield’s entry into the larger middleweight adventure segment. Its combination of a twin-cylinder engine, longer-distance touring equipment and premium suspension should make it a very different proposition from the 450.
The production-spec motorcycle is expected to make its global debut at EICMA 2026 in November, followed by its India launch towards the end of 2026 or in early 2027. Current estimates put the price in the region of Rs 4.5-5 lakh, ex-showroom.
