Royal Enfield Himalayan 750

Royal Enfield showed the pre-production Himalayan 750 in Ladakh in September, which ended months of guessing about whether the big Himalayan was real. It is noticeably broader and more touring-focused than the 450, with a taller screen, fuller tank area and 19-inch front wheel on the display bike. The expected production reveal is around EICMA 2026, followed by an Indian launch in early 2027.

The engine is expected to grow from Royal Enfield's familiar 648cc parallel twin to roughly 750cc. A sensible output would be somewhere near 55–60 HP. That will not chase a V-Strom 800DE on a spec sheet, but it should give the Himalayan the relaxed 110–120 km/h cruise that loaded 450 owners sometimes want on a long, open highway.

There is a trade-off, and it will be parked right on the weighing scale. The 650 twins are not light, and a reinforced adventure chassis, larger tank and luggage hardware add up quickly. If the finished bike crosses much beyond 225 kg, picking it up on a rocky incline becomes a two-person job. That is why the final kerb weight matters more than a Bluetooth feature list.

For riders who spend most weekends on highways and only the last 20 kilometres on broken roads, the 750 makes sense. For solo trail riding, the Himalayan 450 will probably remain the friendlier machine. Wait for the production weight, seat height and tubeless-wheel details before paying a booking amount; those three facts decide whether this is a real adventure bike or a handsome long-distance tourer.
