The Himalayan 750 has officially been teased by Royal Enfield ahead of its global debut slated for 4 November 2025 — coinciding with the EICMA 2025 motorcycle show in Milan.
Teaser & Debut
While Exact Full Specs are still under wraps, the teaser and multiple spy shots over the past months offer a strong indication of what to expect.
What We Know So Far
Engine & Powertrain
- The bike is expected to carry a 750 cc parallel-twin engine, likely a bored-out / re-worked version of RE’s 648 cc twin that currently powers the 650-series bikes.
- Output is rumoured to be in the ballpark of 50 bhp (or more) and around 60 Nm of torque.
- Transmission: a 6-speed gearbox, with revised gearing (especially for touring/highway usage), is expected.
Cycle Parts & Variants
- The test mules reveal two distinct variant styles:
- A spoke-wheel, off-road biased version (21″ front / 17″ rear likely) for more adventure/off-road capability.
- An alloy-wheel, road-biased touring version (19″ front / 17″ rear in some sightings) with less aggressive tyres, suited for long rides and highway cruising.
- Braking Upgrades: dual front disc brakes on the 750 model (a step up from the single-disc front on lesser models) have been spotted.
- Suspension: Upside-down (USD) forks up front, and a preload-adjustable monoshock at the rear. The presence of a remote preload adjuster (on test mule) confirms a push toward more premium touring capability.
- Other Features: Circular TFT instrument cluster with smartphone connectivity/turn-by-turn navigation (already seen in spy shots) suggest RE is equipping the Himalayan 750 with modern electronics.
Design Cues & Intent
- Although the full reveal hasn’t happened, design elements indicate a beefed-up stance compared to the Himalayan 450: larger fuel tank, more robust frame, luggage-rack provision, wind-screen, and side-panels typical of an ADV tourer.
- The testing in varied terrain (including Ladakh) by senior RE personnel underscores the bike’s dual nature: capable of rough roads/off-road, yet comfortable for long highway rides.
What This Means For the Indian Market
Given RE’s strong presence in India and the appeal of adventure-tourer bikes here, the Himalayan 750 could be a significant launch:
- It fills a gap above the current Himalayan 450 (and below high-end premium ADV bikes) by offering a twin-cylinder touring-focused machine with RE’s character.
- The practical split between alloy (touring) and spoke (adventure) variants will cater to different rider profiles — from weekend long-rides and highway touring, to light off-road ventures.
- In terms of pricing, while nothing official is out, some reports suggest an indication of “₹ 4 lakh+” (ex-showroom) for India, depending on variant and localisation.
Outlook & Expectations
- Debut at EICMA 2025 (6-9 Nov) will likely give a full reveal, including final spec, colour variants, and maybe details of Indian launch.
- Following the global teaser, a showcase is expected at RE’s “Motoverse” event in Goa later in November.
- Indian launch may follow soon after, perhaps in early 2026, depending on local production, homologation, and supply chain. Some sources suggest Q1 2026.
- Customers and enthusiasts should watch for: final weight (important for twin-cylinder ADV bikes), seat height, fuel tank size/range, touring accessories, localisation (for India), and variant pricing.
Why it Matters
For RE, the Himalayan 750 signals a move upward in capability and market positioning:
- Expanding beyond single-cylinder, mid-capacity machines into a more premium touring/adventure segment.
- It helps RE compete with global players who already have twin-cylinder ADV machines, while keeping RE’s distinctive identity (heritage, ruggedness, Indian manufacturing).
- For Indian riders, a more powerful, twin-cylinder ADV from RE offers an attractive blend of global-style machine with local service/support and community ecosystem.
Caveats & Things To Watch
- While many spy shots and reports exist, official specs are still waiting, so the 50 bhp / 60 Nm numbers remain unconfirmed until RE releases them.
- Weight will be critical: twin-cylinder + touring kit could make it heavier, which affects off-road usability and ride dynamics.
- Variant differentiation (alloy vs spoke) may mean price spread and different target uses — make sure to evaluate the variant that suits your usage (pure off-road vs touring).
- As with all teased-ahead models, launch timelines can shift, and final localisation (India) pricing may vary depending on optics, imports, or CKD manufacturing.
Summary
In summary, the Himalayan 750 is shaping up to be a serious contender in the adventure-touring segment from Royal Enfield, with twin-cylinder power, modern features, and dual-variant strategy (touring vs adventure).
With the official reveal just around the corner on 4 Nov, we’ll soon see full details. If you’re considering an ADV for both Indian roads and longer rides, it’s definitely one to keep on your radar.
