Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 will be the first motorcycle in the brand’s larger 750cc portfolio and will be launched in India and overseas next year
Royal Enfield has confirmed the debut of the Himalayan 750 at the EICMA 2025 to be held in Milan, Italy on November 4. The brand has teased the bike with the tagline “Born at 5,632 meters” and this tagline directly points to the Mana Pass, which is one of the highest motorable passes in the world. This is where the bike was tested in harsh conditions at high altitude.
The new flagship adventure bike will be a step up from the existing Himalayan 450 and is expected to be launched next year. Interestingly, Royal Enfield is also working on an electric version by the same name, but currently the petrol engine (ICE) version will be brought into production first.
The recently spotted testing model shows a number of new changes, including a more stylish front cowl, a taller windscreen, a larger fuel tank, and a new monoshock suspension chassis with linkage. Although its design is similar to its 450 cc model, its size and proportions give it a more robust and long-distance touring bike-like look and feel.
At the rear, the integrated tail-light and turn indicators are the same as the 450, while the cockpit features a full-coloured TFT screen with smartphone connectivity and navigation. The flagship motorcycle is powered by a newly developed 750cc parallel-twin engine, which is a larger and more torquey version of Royal Enfield’s 650cc twin-cylinder platform.
The engine will be mated to a 6-speed gearbox and slipper clutch, producing around 50 HP of power and 55 Nm of torque. The Himalayan 750 features twin front discs with Bybre callipers, fully adjustable USD forks and a preload-adjustable rear monoshock. The 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wire-spoke wheels are suitable for both touring and terrain.
Once launched in the market, the Himalayan 750 will enter the middleweight adventure vehicle (ADV) segment and will directly compete with bikes like the Honda CB500X, the upcoming BMW F 450 GS, and the Kawasaki KLE 500.
