Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 Showcased for the First Time

Quick Read - Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 shown in near-production form at Leh Base Camp. Gets a new 750cc parallel-twin, fully adjustable USD forks, dual front discs, round TFT with Google Maps, cruise control, traction control, TPMS, and USB-C port. Global debut at EICMA 2026, India launch expected at Motoverse 2026 on 29 November.

Royal Enfield gave India its first close look at the Himalayan 750 at the inaugural Himalayan Base Camp in Leh, Ladakh. The bike is in near-production form, and is positioned as a cross-country tourer, not a hardcore off-roader.

The global debut is expected at EICMA 2026 in Milan in November, with India pricing likely to follow at Motoverse 2026, scheduled for 29 November in Vagator, Goa.

Design wise it drops the front beak and the metal tubular side frame fairings that defined older Himalayans, moving to a plastic semi-fairing instead. It still looks unmistakably like a Himalayan, with a round LED headlight, a tall windscreen, and a large tank.

What the 750cc Engine Brings

The Himalayan 750 runs a new 750cc air-oil cooled parallel-twin, understood to be a rebored version of the 650cc unit from the Interceptor 650 and Super Meteor family. Expected output is around 55bhp and 60Nm, up from the 650's 47bhp and 52Nm.

The engine casing looks slimmer than the 650 twin, which riders often found wide when getting feet down. The twin silencer layout is also gone, replaced with a 2-into-1 exhaust that exits as a single upswept pipe on the right.

Suspension, Brakes and Tyres

The front gets a fully adjustable inverted fork with compression, rebound, and preload adjustment, likely Showa SFF units based on the adjustment mechanism observed. The rear monoshock offers preload adjustment only, operated via a remote adjuster.

Braking is handled by two discs up front and a single disc at the rear. It rides on alloy wheels in a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear setup, with a spoke wheel option expected on other variants.

Features at a Glance

The switchgear layout is familiar, but the left-hand joystick is reportedly chunkier than the Himalayan 450's unit. Whether that translates to actual usability will only become clear after proper rides, the 450's joystick was a recurring complaint from owners and motorcycle journalists.

How It Compares to the 650 Platform

Expected Launch, and Rivals

Royal Enfield has not confirmed a launch date or India price. Rivals wise, once launched, it will face the Kawasaki Versys 650 and Norton Atlas.
