Picture the Himalayan you know, then stretch it in every direction that matters: a bigger twin-cylinder heart, longer legs, a smarter brain, and a tank built for crossing countries, not just counties. That is the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750, unveiled at EICMA 2026 in Milan on 3 November 2026 — the company’s first-ever 750cc motorcycle, and the biggest, most powerful Himalayan it has ever built, arriving in the year Royal Enfield celebrates 125 years of motorcycling.

Ten years after the original Himalayan began its journey into the mountains in 2016, the Himalayan 750 carries a decade of riding experience in its frame. Royal Enfield says every kilometre of that experience — and every terrain traversed in the last decade — comes built into this machine, a motorcycle made to go further, beyond borders and across terrains, from one end of the world to the other.
A brand-new 743cc twin
At the heart of the Himalayan 750 is an all-new 743cc air/oil-cooled, SOHC parallel-twin engine — the first twin-cylinder engine ever fitted to a Himalayan, and the largest engine in Royal Enfield’s current line-up. The company says it produces 55 PS (40.5 kW) at 7,000 rpm and 63 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm, with 90% of that peak torque available from as low as 3,500 rpm — the kind of low-down muscle that pulls cleanly up a mountain pass fully loaded, without needing to chase revs.
The engine breathes through a six-speed gearbox with an assist-and-slipper clutch, and sits in a new box-section steel spine frame with the engine as a stressed member. Bore and stroke are 83.5mm x 67.8mm, with a 9.5:1 compression ratio — a deliberately unstressed, long-legged tune built for days and weeks in the saddle rather than short bursts of speed.

Built to go further, on any terrain
Adventure riding lives or dies on suspension, and Royal Enfield has given the Himalayan 750 serious hardware. Up front sits a 43mm Showa upside-down fork with 190mm of travel, adjustable for preload, compression and rebound, paired with a Showa Mono Tube IFP rear monoshock offering 175mm of travel with a remote preload adjuster — so the bike can be loaded up without losing its composure, then unloaded for the trail home.
The bike rides on a 19-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear, with tubeless tyres in both cast-alloy and cross-spoke wheel options, and twin 280mm front discs with a 255mm rear. A six-axis IMU powers cornering ABS — switchable at the rear for the dirt — and lean-sensitive traction control, while a 205mm ground clearance, an 815mm seat height and a 17.8-litre fuel tank complete the go-anywhere picture. Kerb weight is 224kg, and Royal Enfield quotes a 194kg payload capacity, so rider, pillion and luggage all have room to come along.
A cockpit from a bigger class
One of the Himalayan 750’s most talked-about features sits right in front of the rider: a new circular 4.0-inch TFT cluster, the Tripper Dash, with full-screen Google Maps navigation, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and phone and music control. Around it, Royal Enfield has stacked five configurable riding modes — Road, Road Sport, Rain, Trail and Custom — each adjusting throttle mapping, ABS and traction-control intervention to suit the weather and the terrain, all controlled from new joystick switch cubes.
Cruise control, a tyre pressure monitoring system, self-cancelling indicators, an emergency brake lamp, dual USB-C charging ports (including a 27W fast-charging port) and Wingman 2.0 connected features with 4G GPS connectivity round out an electronics package that is a first for the Himalayan family — adventure touring with the safety net of a much larger, more expensive machine.
Five colours, one flagship
The Himalayan 750 comes in five colours: Antarctic Silver, Siberia White, Viking Bronze, Aztec Green and Tectonic Black. The Antarctic Silver flagship wears a touring pack developed with GIVI — a top box, hard panniers with mounts and inner bags, heated grips, hand guards and a large aluminium sump guard — the full continent-crossing kit, straight from the factory.
Bookings opened across Europe on 3 November 2026 through Royal Enfield’s website and authorised dealerships, with prices starting at £6,999 in the UK for the cast-wheel version and €7,390 in Italy. In India, the Himalayan 750 is expected to make its debut at Royal Enfield’s Motoverse festival in Goa from 27 to 29 November 2026, where India pricing will be announced. Once it arrives, it will take on rivals like the Honda NX500 and the Kawasaki Versys 650 — and it will sit at the very top of Royal Enfield’s range, the flagship of the family that started with a single-cylinder mountain goat a decade ago.
