The biggest and the baddest Himalayan ever is finally here!

Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 Unveiled: 55PS, Features & Specs

Royal Enfield has finally taken the wraps off its upcoming flagship adventure motorcycle, the Himalayan 750, at EICMA 2026. The biggest and the baddest Himalayan gets a bigger engine, upgraded underpinnings and a considerably more comprehensive feature list. While its India prices are yet to be announced, the manufacturer has revealed the complete specifications, giving us a closer look at what its biggest Himalayan has to offer.

Bigger Proportions And Five Colour Options

In terms of design, the Himalayan 750 retains the familiar adventure motorcycle silhouette but looks considerably more substantial. Its larger fuel tank, tall windscreen, upright handlebar and chunky front suspension give it a proper big-ADV appearance.

The front end features a round LED headlight, while the split-seat arrangement and high-mounted exhaust further reinforce its adventure-touring character. Royal Enfield will offer the motorcycle in five colour schemes: Antarctic Silver, Siberia White, Aztec Green, Viking Bronze and Tectonic Black.

Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 Colour Options

Three Variants With Different Equipment

Royal Enfield will offer the Himalayan 750 in three variants, differentiated primarily by their colour schemes, wheel configurations and standard accessories.

The range-topping Top variant, finished in Antarctic White, gets Givi touring accessories as standard. These include panniers, a top box, handguards and heated grips. Buyers opting for the other variants can purchase these accessories separately.

The Spoke Wheels variant will be available in Siberia White and Viking Bronze, while the Alloy Wheels version gets Aztec Green and Tectonic Black colour options. Apart from the wheel configurations and colour schemes, both variants share the same specifications and features.

A Bigger And More Powerful Twin-Cylinder Engine

The biggest highlight of the Himalayan 750 is its new 743cc parallel-twin engine. While it shares its basic architecture with Royal Enfield's existing 650cc motor, the manufacturer claims that around 90 percent of its components are new. The updated engine gets a longer stroke, higher valve lift, plated cylinder bores, shorter cooling fins and magnesium covers, among other changes.

The engine produces 55 PS at 7,000 rpm and 63 Nm at 5,000 rpm, making it the most powerful motor currently in Royal Enfield's lineup. What's particularly interesting is that 90 percent of its peak torque is available from just 3,500 rpm, which should translate into strong low and mid-range performance.

Despite the increase in displacement, the new engine weighs approximately the same as the existing 650cc unit. Royal Enfield has achieved this through the use of magnesium engine covers, a single-bore throttle body and a 2-in-1 exhaust system. The motor is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and a slip-and-assist clutch. It has a compression ratio of 9.5:1 and an idle speed of 1,300rpm.

Showa Suspension And Better Braking Hardware

The Himalayan 750 gets an all-new steel frame, suspended by a 43 mm Showa inverted fork at and a linked Showa monoshock. Both ends offer adjustability, with compression and rebound settings available at the front, while the rear suspension gets preload and rebound adjustment.

However, despite being the larger Himalayan, it actually gets less suspension travel than the Himalayan 450. The front wheel offers 190 mm of travel, while the rear gets 175 mm, compared to 200 mm at both ends on its smaller sibling.

Braking duties are handled by twin 280 mm discs at the front and a 255 mm disc at the rear. The motorcycle also gets a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel setup, with different tyre options depending on the variant.

The tubeless spoke-wheel version runs on Vredestein Centauro XR block-pattern tyres, measuring 110/80-R19 at the front and 150/70-R17 at the rear. Meanwhile, the alloy-wheel variant gets Ceat Crossrad RT tyres.

At 224kg (kerb), the Himalayan 750 is a fairly heavy motorcycle, weighing 30 kg more than the Himalayan 450. It gets 205 mm of ground clearance, has a fuel tank capacity of 17.8 litres and an 815 mm seat height.

Gets Cruise Control, Five Riding Modes And More

The Himalayan 750 also receives a substantial technology upgrade. While it gets the same circular 4-inch TFT console, it has loads of features. It supports smartphone connectivity, Google Maps mirroring, call and SMS alerts, and over-the-air updates.

The motorcycle also gets a ride-by-wire throttle with five riding modes: Road, Road Sport, Rain, Trail and Custom. Other notable additions include cruise control and switchable lean-sensitive traction control with three intervention levels: Low, Medium and High, along with an Off setting.

Safety equipment includes dual-channel cornering ABS, while convenience features comprise all-LED lighting, a tyre pressure monitoring system, two USB Type-C charging ports and self-cancelling indicators.

ZigSays

The Himalayan 750 appears to be a significant step forward for Royal Enfield's adventure touring lineup. Its new 743cc engine promises considerably more performance, while the adjustable Showa suspension, cruise control and comprehensive electronics package should make it a more capable long-distance touring machine.

However, the specifications also suggest that Royal Enfield hasn't necessarily designed this motorcycle to be as off-road-focused as the Himalayan 450. The smaller front wheel, reduced suspension travel and relatively modest ground clearance indicate a stronger emphasis on road touring, although it should still be capable of tackling occasional trails and rough terrain.

The Himalayan 750 is priced from GBP 6,999 (approx. Rs 8.88 lakh) but we expect the Indian prices to be considerably lower at around Rs 4.5 lakh (ex-showroom).

The Himalayan 750 is expected to launch and make its India debut at Motoverse in the coming days. Prices are yet to be announced, but once launched, it will go up against the likes of the Honda NX500 and Kawasaki Versys 650 in the Indian market.
