At a glance
The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 is official: it was unveiled on November 3, 2026, at EICMA in Milan. It's an adventure touring bike with a 743 cm³ air- and oil-cooled parallel twin, 55 hp and 63 Nm, tubeless 19- and 17-inch wheels, dual front discs, cruise control, and standard tire pressure sensors. It weighs 224 kg ready to ride and has an 815 mm seat height.
Reservations in Europe have been open since November 3, and now the Italian price is available too: prices start at 7,390 euros ex-dealer for the version with alloy wheels, 7,790 euros for the spoked-wheel version, and 9,290 euros for the Antarctic Silver, already equipped for touring. L's arrival at dealerships is scheduled for 2027. Here you'll find the complete technical specifications, a comparison with its direct rivals, the A2 license question, and what makes sense to fit for touring.
- Engine: 743 cm³, 55 hp at 7,000 rpm, 63 Nm at 5,000 rpm, with 90% of torque available from 3,500 rpm (claimed).

At EICMA, the Himalayan 750 is no longer a rumor
Until yesterday, this page separated confirmed information from estimates. As of this morning, the figures are from the manufacturer, and some of the assumptions circulating for a year have been disproved.
The Himalayan 750 was unveiled on November 3, the first press day of the Milan Motorcycle Show, alongside the Continental GT 750, which uses the same engine but belongs to a different world. Royal Enfield is celebrating the brand's 125th anniversary and introducing its first twin-cylinder model designed for motorcycle touring, positioned above the Himalayan 450.
What the rumors got right, and what they got wrong
Power estimates of 55 to 60 hp were right at the lower end of the range. The 19-inch front wheel, dual front discs, cruise control, and round TFT were also confirmed. The suspicion raised by an Indian source that it lacked cornering ABS was wrong, however: it has it, with a six-axis inertial measurement unit. And the engine is not simply a larger 650: Royal Enfield says around 90% of its components are new.
The official technical specifications, line by line
Figures stated by Royal Enfield in its presentation materials, as reported by the international press on November 3. The Italian spec sheet is not online yet: where sources differ, we note it.
| Specification | Himalayan 750 | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | 743 cm³ parallel-twin, air/oil-cooled, single overhead cam | Bore x stroke 83.5 x 67.8 mm, compression ratio 9.5:1 |
| Power | 55 hp at 7,000 rpm | Approximately 40.5 kW (our calculation) |

| Payload | Approximately 195 kg | Reported by multiple sources, to be confirmed |
How to read the table: These are manufacturer-claimed figures, not measurements. Minor differences between sources (weight, fuel tank) are due to rounding and conversions; we’ll update them with Royal Enfield Italia’s specifications as soon as they’re published.
The twin-cylinder engine focuses on low-end torque, not horsepower
Royal Enfield has stayed faithful to air-and-oil cooling. This choice limits peak power but brings simplicity, low costs and a character that touring riders with luggage appreciate more than a spec-sheet figure.
The 55 hp is 8 more than the 648 cc twin-cylinder engine in the Interceptor, Continental GT and Bear 650, which produces 47 hp and 52 Nm. But there’s another, more interesting figure: 90% of the torque is available from 3,500 rpm. In practice, that means accelerating in sixth gear from low speeds without downshifting, overtaking uphill with a passenger and luggage without revving hard, and cruising at relaxed engine speeds on the highway.
A change in frame design
Instead of the traditional tubular structure, the 750 uses a central steel backbone with a box-section profile, stamped sheet-metal elements and the engine as a stressed member. This solution reduces the number of components and frees up space around the engine. For anyone fitting accessories, there’s a practical implication: the mounting points and dimensions differ from those of every other Royal Enfield, so no existing protection or frame can be assumed to fit.
The chassis completes the package with road-oriented adventure geometry: a 1,522 mm wheelbase, a 27.9° steering-head angle and 121.5 mm of trail. These figures promise stability under a full load rather than agility among rocks, in keeping with the 19-inch front wheel.
Three trim levels, with the top-of-the-range model ready for touring
Royal Enfield has divided the range by wheel type and added a fully equipped Touring version. Launch prices for Italy were also announced at the show, and we’ve included them alongside the UK prices.
| Version | Wheels and tires | Colors | Additional equipment | Price in Italy | UK price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alloy wheels | Alloy, Ceat Crossrad RT | Aztec Green, black | — | 7.390 € | £ 6.999 |
| Spoked wheels | Tubeless spoked wheels, Vredestein Centauro XR | Viking Bronze, Siberia White | — | 7.790 € | £ 7.299 |
| Antarctic Silver | Tubeless spoked wheels | Antarctic Silver | Side cases and top box, heated grips, handguards, aluminum skid plate | 9.290 € | £ 8.699 |
How to read the Italian prices: these are the launch prices excluding dealer fees, announced at the show and reported consistently by inSella, Dueruote and Quotidiano Motori on November 3. We have not yet found a price list published by Royal Enfield Italy on its website; when it goes online, we will compare it with these figures. No Italian source lists a price for the black version with alloy wheels (Tectonic or Teutonic Black; the spelling varies between sources). Deliveries: “during 2027,” with no specific month given.
In Italy, the difference between the spoked-wheel version and the Antarctic Silver is 1,500 euros (9,290 versus 7,790), while alloy wheels cost 400 euros less than spoked wheels. For those planning to travel with a full load, the top-spec version is a package worth calculating carefully: side cases, a top case with their respective mounting frames, heated grips, hand guards and a skid plate purchased separately generally cost more than that amount, but lock you into the manufacturer's chosen luggage system. Those who prefer soft bags or different luggage are better off starting with the spoked-wheel version, which already has tires better suited to off-road riding. The Low Ride, Touring rider and Touring passenger accessory seats are available in the official catalogue.
The Himalayan costs up to 3,600 euros less than the Transalp and V-Strom 800
The 750 enters the mid-size touring adventure segment. It has less power than the Japanese bikes and weighs as much as the Suzuki: its selling point is the price, and now that we know the Italian list price, the advantage is clear. The alloy-wheel version costs 1,500 euros less than the V-Strom 800SE and 3,600 euros less than the Transalp.
| Model | Engine | Power / torque | Kerb weight | Wheels | Seat | Fuel tank | Price in Italy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 | 743 cc air/oil-cooled twin-cylinder | 55 hp / 63 Nm | 224 kg | 19/17 | 815 mm | 17.8 L | From €7,390 |
| Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 | 452 cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder | 40 hp / 40 Nm | 196 kg | 21/17 | 825-845 mm | 17 L | From €5,900 |
| Honda XL750 Transalp | 755 cc liquid-cooled twin-cylinder | 92 hp / 75 Nm | 210 kg | 21/18 | 850 mm | 16.9 L | 10.990 € |
| Suzuki V-Strom 800SE | 776 cc liquid-cooled twin-cylinder | 84 hp / 78 Nm | 223 kg | 19/17 | 825 mm | 20 L | 8.890 € |
Himalayan 750 price: Italian launch price, delivery to dealer included, reported by inSella and Dueruote on November 3, 2026. Himalayan 450 data from the Royal Enfield Italy website; Transalp 2026 and V-Strom 800SE prices from Moto.it price lists consulted on November 3, 2026; indicative prices, delivery to dealer included.
- 815 mm seat, the lowest in the group
- Cruise control, TPMS, and cornering ABS as standard
- Strong low-end torque for riding with a full load
- Touring version already equipped at the factory
- 30-40 hp less than the Japanese bikes
- Same weight as the V-Strom, with far less power
- 19-inch wheel: less effective than the Transalp on rough surfaces
- Dealer support network and resale value are still to be checked
If your trips are mostly on main roads, mountain passes, and the occasional gravel road, the power difference matters less than the spec sheet suggests. But if you often ride two-up at full load on the highway, the Japanese bikes offer a reserve the 750 doesn't have. For lighter alternatives, our comparison of 450 adventure bikes for A2 license holders is still the place to start; for another new model unveiled in Milan in the same class, read the details of the 2027 Kawasaki KLE650.
55 hp requires an A license, and for now there is no A2 version
Directive 2006/126/EC sets an A2 license limit of 35 kW, a power-to-weight ratio no greater than 0.2 kW/kg, and an original power output of no more than 70 kW.
The calculation for the Himalayan 750
55 hp is about 40.5 kW: above the 35 kW limit, so the version unveiled requires an A license. Its power-to-weight ratio, around 0.18 kW/kg, would be within the limit; and since the bike is well below 70 kW, an approved restriction would technically be possible. Royal Enfield, however, has announced neither a 35 kW version nor a restriction kit.
A2 license holders today have two sure bets: the Himalayan 450 or Royal Enfield's 650 twins, which stay under the stock limit with 47 hp.
On paper, it's a bike for covering miles two-up, not for enduro riding
We haven't ridden it yet: what follows is an analysis of the specifications from the perspective of someone who prepares touring motorcycles every day.
- Range: with 17.8 liters and a mid-displacement air-cooled twin, a range of around 300 km between fill-ups is a reasonable expectation. This is our estimate: Royal Enfield has not published fuel consumption figures.
- Comfort: the 815 mm seat, tall windscreen, and Touring seats listed in the catalog point to a riding position designed for long distances. The passenger has footrests and grab handles integrated into the luggage rack.
- Load: a payload of around 195 kg leaves room for two equipped riders and luggage, but everything should be weighed before departure.
- Safety: Cornering ABS, cornering traction control, and TPMS are rare features in this price bracket and especially useful in wet conditions and when fully loaded.
- Off-road: 190/175 mm of travel, 205 mm of ground clearance, and switchable rear ABS are enough for gravel and unpaved roads. For steep trails and challenging water crossings, the 450's 21-inch wheel is still more suitable.
Still to be confirmed: real-world fuel consumption, maintenance intervals, warranty in Europe, official pricing on the Royal Enfield Italy website, and the month it will arrive at Italian dealerships, currently listed only as “sometime in 2027.” As of today, Royal Enfield has not officially announced this information.
Accessories: the frames will take time, but you can already set off on a trip
The 750's beam frame has nothing in common with the 450's or the 650s'. Dedicated pannier frames, crash bars, and handguard kits will only arrive once manufacturers have a production bike to measure. In the meantime, here's what really works.
- Waterproof tail bag strapped to the stock luggage rack
- Tubeless repair kit and compressor: the stock tires are tubeless
- Approved auxiliary lights with clamp brackets, if there's a suitable tube
- Phone mount with handlebar or mirror attachment
- Frames and plates for panniers or a top case
- Aftermarket crash bars and skid plate
- Barkbusters handguard kit for the 450, such as the BHG-119
- Mechanical cruise control: the 750 already has electronic cruise control
- Capacity
- 50 liters, roll-top
- Construction
- Removable U-shaped plate holds its shape even when half empty
- Mounting
- Straps onto a luggage rack or passenger seat
- Why here
- Does not require motorcycle-specific mounts
- Price
- 221,00 €
- Use
- Repair with vulcanizing strips
- Compatibility
- Universal, tubeless tires
- Why here
- All Himalayan 750 models have tubeless wheels
- Price
- 32,00 €
A tire inflator pairs well with the kit: the LOBOO CP06 portable compressor (€50) weighs less than 300 grams and fits in a bag pocket. For additional lighting, the LOBOO L7S ECE-approved LED auxiliary lights (€261) mount with clamp brackets: we’ll check the exact mounting position on the 750 once we have the bike. If you already own a Himalayan 450 or 411, products listed for those models are in the Royal Enfield Himalayan accessories collection.
Honest disclaimer: As of today, Endurrad does not list any accessories that the manufacturer has declared compatible with the Himalayan 750. When the brands we distribute publish compatibility information, we’ll add it here.
