Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 revealed: first official look at the 750cc adventure twin
Motorcycle News ·
After more than a year of spy shots, a prototype in Milan and a teaser campaign that has run for weeks, Royal Enfield has finally shown us the production Himalayan 750. The company released the first official images on 1 November, two days before the bike’s public debut at EICMA in Milan on 3 November.
Update, 3 November: Royal Enfield has now unveiled the Himalayan 750 at EICMA in Milan and released the full specifications. The key numbers are below. Australian and New Zealand pricing and timing are still not yet announced.
The numbers, now confirmed at EICMA
- Engine: 743cc air/oil-cooled parallel twin, six-speed gearbox with slip-and-assist clutch
- Power: 55 PS at 7,000rpm
- Torque: 63 Nm at 5,000rpm
- Kerb weight: 224 kg
- Fuel tank: 17.8 litres
- Seat height: 815 mm
- Wheels: 19-inch front, 17-inch rear, alloy or spoke depending on variant
- Suspension: 43 mm Showa inverted fork (190 mm travel), linked Showa monoshock (175 mm travel)
- Brakes: twin 280 mm front discs, 255 mm rear disc, dual-channel cornering ABS
- Electronics: ride-by-wire with five modes, cruise control, lean-sensitive traction control, 4-inch round TFT with Google Maps, tyre pressure monitoring
At 55 PS the 750 is well above the LAMS power-to-weight limit, so it is a full-licence bike in Australia and won’t be on New Zealand’s LAMS list. Bookings have opened in the UK, where reported prices start from £6,999 for the alloy-wheel version, £7,299 for spokes and £8,699 for the top variant with Givi luggage. Royal Enfield hasn’t confirmed Australian or New Zealand prices or arrival dates yet.
Below is our original look at the production bike, published before the specifications were released.
A different face for the Himalayan family
The first thing you notice is that the 750 doesn’t look like a scaled-up Himalayan 450. The 450’s tall, beak-style front mudguard is gone. Instead, a cowl wraps around a round LED headlight and flows back into the fuel tank, with the indicators mounted on the cowl and a tall flyscreen on top. It’s a more road-focused, touring look, and it suits a bike Royal Enfield has been describing as a cross-country tourer rather than a hard-core off-roader.
The rest is more familiar. There’s a split seat, a rear grab handle with mounting points for a top box, and tail lights that copy the 450’s, with the brake lights built into the indicator housings. A two-into-one exhaust runs to a silencer on the left-hand side.
The hardware we can see
The production bike keeps the prototype’s staggered wheel sizes, with a bigger wheel at the front than the rear. Buyers will choose between cross-spoke and alloy rims. Braking is by ByBre, Brembo’s Indian brand, with twin discs at the front and a single disc at the rear. The dash is a digital display, similar to the one on the prototype.
Royal Enfield has confirmed that the engine is a new twin-cylinder, the brand’s first 750, but it hasn’t given any figures. Indian media estimates of about 55–60 hp are just that: estimates. We’ll wait for the official numbers.

Cruise control and other firsts
When Royal Enfield showed a near-production Himalayan 750 at its Himalayan Basecamp event in Leh, Ladakh, in September, the bike had equipment no Royal Enfield has offered before. That included cruise control, a tyre pressure monitoring system and fully adjustable front suspension, along with a TFT display. If those make it onto the production bike, the 750 would be the most technologically advanced Royal Enfield yet. We’ll confirm the final equipment list once the full specs are out.
What the spy shots told us
The Himalayan 750 has been one of the most photographed test bikes of the past two years. In August 2025, test bikes were caught on alloy wheels for the first time (Autocar India). Later sightings showed the bike with touring accessories and an alloy-wheeled version with adjustable suspension (91Wheels). Most recently, in August 2026, a test bike was spotted with hard panniers and a headlight guard (IAMABIKER). The spy shots pointed to the same story the official images now confirm: a road-biased adventure tourer, offered with spoked or alloy wheels and plenty of touring accessories.
Watch: Royal Enfield’s teasers
Royal Enfield’s teaser campaign ran under the tagline “All roads, no roads”. The first clip, “No roads”, went up on 29 October:
It was followed on 1 November by “All roads”:
On Instagram, Royal Enfield confirmed the reveal date with the simple message “Himalayan 750 03.11.2026 | Stay tuned”:
What it means for Australia and New Zealand
Royal Enfield hasn’t said anything yet about Australian or New Zealand timing or pricing. Its Indian launch is expected at the brand’s Motoverse festival in Goa from 27 to 29 November, and export markets usually follow some months after India.
For context, the Himalayan 450 is $9,190 ride away in both Australia and New Zealand. The 750 will cost more, but if Royal Enfield prices it the way it has priced its 650 twins, it could undercut mid-size adventure bikes from the established brands by a big margin. That’s what we’ll be watching for.
Our take: the Himalayan 450 showed Royal Enfield can build a properly capable adventure bike. The 750 looks set to add the motorway comfort and electronics the 450 lacks, without losing the simplicity that made it popular. Until we see power, weight and price, it’s too early to call it a bargain. But if you’re about to buy a 450 for long-distance touring, it’s worth waiting a few weeks.
