Royal Enfield Himalayan 750

The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 will be the first bike based on the brand’s new 750cc platform. It is expected to be a middleweight adventure bike focused on touring and long-distance riding, while still being reasonably priced.

The bike will use an upgraded version of Royal Enfield’s 650cc engine, producing around 55 bhp and 60–65 Nm of torque. It is likely to be unveiled at EICMA 2026 and could be launched in India at Motoverse 2026.
