Royal Enfield, India’s most iconic motorcycle manufacturer, is gearing up for one of its biggest global unveils yet — the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750. After months of spy shots, test sightings, and speculation, the adventure-touring motorcycle is finally set to make its global debut at EICMA 2025 in Milan, Italy. Scheduled between 6–9 November 2025, this international event will mark the first official showcase of the new Himalayan 750, followed by its Indian preview at Motoverse Goa 2025 (21–23 November).
The Himalayan 750 will be the brand’s most powerful adventure tourer yet and will mark Royal Enfield’s entry into a higher performance category — directly competing with models like the Triumph Tiger 660, Kawasaki Versys 650, and Suzuki V-Strom 800DE.
Design and Styling: A More Muscular Himalayan
Visually, the upcoming Himalayan 750 will take inspiration from the Himalayan 450 but with a much more dominant and muscular stance. Early spy shots confirm a broader body profile, beefier tank, and improved rider ergonomics. The signature round LED headlamp, tall adjustable windscreen, metal ADV-style side panels, and stepped split seat continue to reflect its off-road DNA.
At the rear, the motorcycle is expected to feature a luggage rack, integrated LED turn indicators, and a compact tail-lamp assembly — similar to the design philosophy seen on the 450. Dual-tone paint options, metal crash protection, and optional panniers will likely be part of the accessories lineup at launch.
The overall design language will convey the message loud and clear — this is a true-blue adventure machine built to conquer both mountains and motorways.
Engine and Performance: 750cc Parallel Twin Power
Under the tank, the Himalayan 750 will feature an all-new 750cc parallel-twin engine, derived from Royal Enfield’s proven 650 Twin platform but heavily reworked. The engine is rumored to deliver around 50 bhp and 65 Nm of torque, offering a perfect blend of touring comfort and off-road grunt.
The engine will be mated to a 6-speed gearbox, possibly featuring revised gear ratios for better low-end torque and smoother highway cruising. Expect liquid cooling, ride-by-wire throttle, and slipper clutch as standard, along with a refined exhaust note tuned for long-distance adventure riding.
Expected Performance Highlights
- Engine Type: 750cc parallel-twin, liquid-cooled
- Power Output: ~50 bhp
- Torque: ~65 Nm
- Gearbox: 6-speed manual
- Fuel Efficiency (Expected): 22–25 km/l
- Top Speed: Around 180 km/h
With these numbers, the Himalayan 750 will be the most powerful Royal Enfield ever produced, bridging the gap between mid-size and big adventure bikes.
Chassis and Suspension: Built for the Toughest Terrain
Royal Enfield has developed a new tubular steel frame based on the 650 Twins’ platform, re-engineered to handle off-road abuse while keeping the weight balanced for touring comfort.
The motorcycle will ride on long-travel USD front forks and a preload-adjustable rear monoshock. While the Himalayan 450’s suspension setup already received praise for its comfort and composure, the 750 is expected to raise the bar further with enhanced damping and stability.
Cycle Parts Overview
- Frame: Rigid steel chassis inspired by 650 Twins
- Front Suspension: Inverted USD forks (long-travel)
- Rear Suspension: Monoshock with preload adjustability
- Brakes: Twin front discs + single rear disc with dual-channel ABS
- Tyres: Dual-purpose tyres for both road and trail use
- Wheels: Spoked and alloy variants (21-inch front, 17-inch rear expected)
The Himalayan 750 will likely come in two versions —
- Off-road variant with spoke wheels and rugged accessories.
- Touring variant with alloy wheels and road-oriented tyres.
Features and Technology: A Step Into Modern Territory
The Himalayan 750 won’t just rely on power — it’s expected to feature the most advanced technology ever seen on a Royal Enfield. The adventure bike will likely include a fully digital TFT instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, ride modes, and traction control.
Additional features could include:
- All-LED lighting setup (headlamp, tail lamp, indicators)
- Switchable ABS
- Traction control system
- Ride-by-wire throttle
- Heated grips (optional)
- USB-C charging ports
- Adjustable windscreen
- Multiple riding modes
These additions will make it a far more global product — appealing to both hardcore off-road enthusiasts and long-distance riders alike.
Expected Price and Launch Timeline
While the Himalayan 750 will make its global debut at EICMA 2025, the India launch is expected to happen in the first quarter of 2026. Production is likely to take place at Royal Enfield’s Chennai facility, which already manufactures the 450 and 650 platforms.
Expected Price in India (Ex-Showroom):
- Base Variant: ₹4.5 lakh
- Adventure Variant: ₹4.8 lakh
- Touring Variant: ₹5.1 lakh
Given Royal Enfield’s track record of competitive pricing, the Himalayan 750 could undercut many international rivals while offering similar performance, making it a highly attractive option in the adventure-touring space.
Competition Check
Once launched, the Himalayan 750 will go head-to-head with:
- Triumph Tiger Sport 660
- Kawasaki Versys 650
- Benelli TRK 702
- CFMoto 700MT
- Suzuki V-Strom 800DE (Entry Variant)
With Royal Enfield’s growing global footprint, particularly in Europe, Latin America, and Australia, the Himalayan 750 could play a major role in expanding its international market share.
What Makes the Himalayan 750 Special
The Himalayan 750 represents more than just a bigger engine — it signifies Royal Enfield’s ambition to move beyond its traditional boundaries. With this model, the company aims to:
- Compete in the mid-to-premium ADV category globally.
- Offer a balance of power, comfort, and capability rarely seen at this price point.
- Provide a globally homologated motorcycle suitable for multiple markets without compromise.
The move also highlights Royal Enfield’s strategic shift towards developing modular platforms — allowing shared parts, reduced production costs, and faster development cycles for future models.
Conclusion
The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 is shaping up to be a true game-changer. With its debut scheduled for EICMA 2025, followed by a showcase at Motoverse Goa, enthusiasts worldwide are eager to see how Royal Enfield evolves its adventure legacy. Combining rugged design, a powerful twin-cylinder engine, advanced electronics, and a competitive price tag, the Himalayan 750 could very well redefine the middleweight ADV segment not just in India, but globally.
