Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 specs confirmed: 54hp twin, Showa suspension, cornering ABS and cruise control
Motorcycle News ·
We’ve seen the shape of the Himalayan 750 for months, most recently in our first official look. Now, at EICMA in Milan, Royal Enfield has finally given us the numbers, and they confirm this is a properly equipped middleweight adventure bike rather than a bigger Himalayan 450.
It’s the first bike to use Royal Enfield’s new 750cc twin, which the new Continental GT 750 also gets. Bookings opened in the UK and Europe on show day, from £6,999.
Engine: a torquey 743cc twin, not a revvy one
The new engine is a 743cc air- and oil-cooled parallel twin making a claimed 54hp (40kW) at 7,000rpm and 63Nm at 5,000rpm. Royal Enfield says 90 per cent of that torque is available from just 3,500rpm, which tells you exactly what it’s tuned for: lugging through rough tracks and loaded touring, not chasing a redline.
It drives through a six-speed gearbox with an assist-and-slipper clutch. For context, that’s more than the 650 twin’s 47hp, but well short of the 70-plus horsepower of a Ténéré 700 or Transalp. Royal Enfield is playing its usual game here: usable character and a sharp price, rather than headline numbers.
Chassis: Showa suspension and a 19/17 wheel set-up
The engine is a stressed member in a new box-section spine frame. Suspension is by Showa all round: a 43mm upside-down fork with 190mm of travel, adjustable for preload, compression and rebound, and a linkage monoshock with 175mm of travel, adjustable for preload and rebound.
Wheels are a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear, with 110/80 and 150/70 tyres. There are two choices: cast alloys on CEAT Crossrad AT tyres, or tubeless spoked rims on Vredestein Centauro XR rubber. Ground clearance is 205mm. That 19/17 combination and the travel figures put it on the touring side of adventure. It’s built for gravel roads and fire trails rather than the 21-inch-front hard stuff the Himalayan 450 is so good at.
Braking is by twin 280mm front discs and a 255mm rear disc, with two-piston calipers.
Electronics: the most advanced Royal Enfield yet
This is where the 750 really moves the brand on. A six-axis IMU powers cornering ABS, with a switchable rear for the dirt, and lean-sensitive traction control with four levels including off. There are five ride modes: Road, Road Sport, Rain, Trail and Custom. You also get cruise control, tyre-pressure monitoring, self-cancelling indicators and an emergency brake light.
The dash is a 4-inch round TFT with Bluetooth, full map navigation, and phone and music control. There are two USB-C ports, one with 27W fast charging.
Ergonomics, weight and range
Seat height is a manageable 815mm, with accessory seats at 795mm and 835mm. Kerb weight is 224kg (223kg in European spec). That’s heavier than the class leaders, so it’s the price of the extra tech and touring kit. The 17.8-litre tank should give a genuinely useful range from a 743cc twin tuned for torque.
Colours, versions and price
Five colours were shown: Antarctic Silver, Siberia White, Aztec Green, Viking Bronze and Tectonic Black. In the UK there are three price points:
- Alloy wheels: £6,999
- Spoked tubeless wheels: £7,299
- Antarctic Silver touring version: £8,699, with a GIVI top box and hard panniers, heated grips, handguards and an aluminium bash plate

The RiderMates take
The spec sheet answers the big question: this is a real adventure-tourer, not a styling exercise. Showa suspension with adjustment at both ends, a proper IMU electronics package and cruise control at £6,999 is a strong offer. If that UK pricing carries over to Australia and New Zealand at anything like the usual exchange rate, the Himalayan 750 will undercut almost every rival in our mid-size adventure bike guide.
The trade-offs are just as clear. 54hp and 224kg mean it won’t match a Ténéré or a KTM 890 on the open road or in the rough, and the 19-inch front makes it more of a gravel tourer than a trail weapon. For riders who want an easy-going, well-equipped bike for long days on mixed roads, that may be exactly the point.
Royal Enfield Australia and New Zealand haven’t confirmed local pricing or arrival dates yet. We’ll update this story as soon as they do.
