If the Himalayan 750 sounds quite appealing, here what you should know ahead of its launch

The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 recently made its global debut around EICMA 2026. The big ADV is the first bike from the brand’s 750cc platform, and is quite well equipped - in terms of performance as well as features.

The ADV will be launched in India at the Motoverse festival in Goa, from November 27 to 29. If you are awaiting its launch to buy the bike, here’s 5 key things you need to know about the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750.

It’s Fast

The Himalayan 750 is powered by a new 750cc twin-cylinder engine that makes 55PS and 63Nm. That allows the bike to sustain triple digit highway speeds without breaking a sweat. That means touring on the new Himalayan is a breeze.

On the flip side, urban riding is quite good too. It has a strong low-end performance that should help make it easy to ride in our urban stop-go traffic conditions. You can move around at lower revs, and should you need a quick burst for overtake, just open the throttle more.

It’s Spacious

Once astride the bike, you’ll realise that it has a roomy cockpit, and comfortable ergonomics. It is definitely one of the roomiest bikes in its class. That said, won’t stretch you out. Everything is well within reach and the bike feels comfortable whether you are commuting or out on a long-distance tour. The well-padded seat makes it genuinely very comfortable for mile-munching.

That said, despite its 815mm tall seat, anyone taller than 5 feet 5 inches should be able to easily swing a leg over the seat. For even taller riders, there’s an optional seat that increases the height by 20mm. But shorter riders fret not, the lower seat drops the stock height by 20mm.

It’s Easy to Manoeuvre

The Himalayan 750 might look quite big and bulky, but appearances can be deceiving. Despite its visual heft, the ADV feels effortless in changing directions. This while feeling quite planted out on the highway.

It’s Heavy

As nimble as the Himalayan may feel, there’s no ignoring the fact that it weighs 242kg kerb. While it may feel light on the move, parking the bike or moving it at slow speeds will make you feel its weight. That said, once you get a hang of it, life should be easier.

No Quickshifter

The Himalayan is quite a tech-laden bike, which is why the lack of a quickshifter sticks out like a sore thumb. While the gearbox is slick, a quickshifter should at least have been offered as an accessory. More than for the sportiness of it, it would have made touring an even easier affair.
