In brief
The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 is the Indian company's new twin-cylinder adventure bike and will make its production debut at EICMA 2026 in Milan in early November. The name, engine configuration (750 cc parallel twin), and presentation venue, as stated by CEO B. Govindarajan, are official. Everything else, from power to price, is currently an estimate or based on photos.
Photos of the now-undisguised examples nevertheless reveal a lot: 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels, twin front discs, alloy or tubeless spoked wheels, a tall windscreen, and a luggage rack. It's more of a touring bike than an off-road trail bike. Here we separate, item by item, what's confirmed from what's not.
- Engine: 750 cc air- and oil-cooled parallel twin, estimated output between 55 and over 60 hp (not announced).
- Unveiling: EICMA 2026, press days November 3-4, public opening November 5-8.
- Price: no official price list. The Himalayan 450 starts at 5,900 euros.
- Accessories: there are no accessories specifically for the 750 yet; we'll tell you what to use in the meantime and what to avoid.
There's little that's official: the name, the 750 twin, and Milan
Many figures presented as certain are circulating about this bike. They aren't. We've divided the information into three levels, depending on who provided it.
| Category | What we know | Level of certainty |
|---|---|---|
| Existence and name | Prototype displayed by Royal Enfield at EICMA 2025 with the 750 logo; official photos of tests in Ladakh published by the company in summer 2025 | Official |
| Debut venue | EICMA 2026, announced by CEO B. Govindarajan in an interview with MCN | Manufacturer statement |
| Engine | Approximately 750 cc air- and oil-cooled parallel twin | Architecture confirmed, details not disclosed |
| Wheels | 19" front and 17" rear, alloy or tubeless spoked wheels | Seen in photos |
| Brakes | Twin front discs, a first for a Royal Enfield | Seen in photos |
| Power and torque | Around 55-60 hp and 60-65 Nm | Press estimate |
| Electronics | Ride-by-wire, riding modes, traction control, cruise control | Controls seen, functions unconfirmed |
| Weight, tank, seat | No reliable data | Unknown |
| Price | No price list | Unknown |
Why the Milan date is reliable
At EICMA 2025, Govindarajan had tempered expectations: the model on display was a concept, many more tests were needed, and they would probably have to wait until the following show. In summer 2026, the company then confirmed that the new 750 cc platform would be unveiled at EICMA 2026. As of October 16, only the conference time is missing.
The air- and oil-cooled parallel twin promises 10-15 hp more than the 650s
Royal Enfield has chosen not to switch to liquid cooling. It costs less to produce, is easier to maintain, and leaves the cooling fins exposed, which are part of the brand’s identity.
| Engine | Configuration | Power | Torque | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Himalayan 750 | ~750 cc air/oil-cooled parallel twin | 55-60+ hp | 60-65 Nm | Press estimates (inSella, Cartoq, Gaadiwaadi) |
| Twin 650 (Interceptor, Continental GT, Bear) | 648 cc air/oil-cooled parallel twin | 47 hp | 52 Nm | Official Royal Enfield figure |
| Sherpa 450 (Himalayan 450) | 452 cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine | 40 hp | 40 Nm | Official Royal Enfield figure |
Almost all sources consider the 750 an evolution of the 648 cc engine, with increased bore and stroke; some Indian publications mention revised internal components and a six-speed gearbox adapted to the greater weight. For touring riders, the key figure is torque: if the estimated 60-65 Nm arrives low down, as it does on the 650, the bike will have plenty of mid-range pull, the rev range you use with luggage and a passenger.
How to read the figures: Royal Enfield has released no power or torque figures. Estimates published over the past twelve months have ranged from 50 to over 60 hp. Treat them as ballpark figures until the EICMA spec sheet is released.
Chassis: 19/17-inch wheels, twin discs, and two personalities in the same family
The latest photos, from a commercial filmed in Uttarakhand and the area around the British technical center, show a bike that is practically production-ready. Here’s what they reveal.
- 19-inch front wheel and 17-inch rear wheel
- Cast wheels or tubeless-compatible cross-spoked wheels
- Twin front discs
- Monoshock with remote preload adjustment
- Round LED headlight, tall windshield, stepped seat
- Rear luggage rack, center stand, round TFT display
- Whether cast wheels and spoked wheels will be two trims or two models
- Suspension travel and fork adjustments
- Cornering ABS: one Indian source speculates that it may be missing
- Kerb weight and fuel tank capacity
- Seat height
What the 19-inch wheel means
The Himalayan 450 uses a 21-inch wheel, the size of true enduro bikes. Choosing a 19-inch wheel for the 750 shifts the bike toward road use: more stability at high speed, a wider choice of tires, and quicker steering on asphalt. It’s no limitation on easy gravel roads; on rough surfaces and large rocks, the 21-inch wheel remains more effective. It’s the choice made by the Suzuki V-Strom 800 and Triumph Tiger 900 GT, but not by the Honda Transalp, Yamaha Ténéré 700, and Africa Twin, which stick with 21-inch wheels.
Cruise control deserves a mention of its own: it would be a first for Royal Enfield. Along with ride-by-wire and riding modes, it signals that the company wants to compete in Europe's mid-size adventure touring segment, where these features are now expected.
A year in front of the cameras: the milestones that revealed the bike
Few models have arrived at their debut so well known. Royal Enfield has shown it in person often, and photographers have done the rest.
- Summer 2025, Ladakh: Royal Enfield publishes the first official photos of the prototype at altitude, alongside the electric Himalayan, with the CEO riding it.
- November 2025, EICMA: the prototype with a 750 logo is at the show. Govindarajan calls it a concept to be tested and pushes the production version back by a year.
- Between late 2025 and 2026, Brazil: the bike appears at the Interlagos festival under the name Adventure 750 Concept.
- August 2026, England: MCN photographs it near Royal Enfield's technical center in Leicestershire with alloy wheels and road tires, now without camouflage.
- September 2026, India: displayed without camouflage at Himalayan Base Camp, the brand's event in Ladakh.
- October 2026, Uttarakhand: production-ready models spotted on the set of a commercial, in four colors that appear to be production versions.
- November 3-8, 2026, Milan: expected debut at EICMA. Then, according to Indian sources, a public presentation at Motoverse in Goa from November 27 to 29.
The colors seen in Uttarakhand, according to inSella: green, a gray-brown, a burgundy with black and gold details, and a light-colored livery with orange, yellow, and red graphics. To be confirmed in Milan.
The 750 doesn't replace the 450: they're two bikes for two kinds of journeys
Anyone considering a Himalayan 450 today is wondering whether it's worth waiting. It depends on where your pavement ends. 450 specifications from the Royal Enfield Italy website; for the 750, only what can be seen or estimated.
| Category | Himalayan 450 (official) | Himalayan 750 (expected) |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Liquid-cooled 452 cc single-cylinder, 40 hp and 40 Nm | Twin-cylinder ~750 cc air/oil-cooled, estimated 55-60+ hp |
| Wheels | 21" / 17" spoked (tubeless on some versions) | 19" / 17" alloy or tubeless spoked wheels |
| Front brake | Single disc | Twin discs |
| Seat | 825-845 mm adjustable, 805 mm optional | Not declared |
| Fuel tank | 17 liters | Not declared, visually wider |
| Weight | 196 kg ready to ride | Not declared |
| Price in Italy | €5,900 to €6,600 | Not declared |
| Purpose | Light adventure, real off-roading | Adventure touring, travel, and a passenger |
- You do a lot of highway riding or travel two-up
- You want cruise control and more torque in reserve when riding with luggage
- For you, off-roading means easy gravel roads, not rocky trails
- You’re looking for a 21-inch wheel for rough terrain
- You have an A2 license and don’t want to wait for news about a possible restricted version
- You want a motorcycle already available at dealerships at a confirmed price
For a broader comparison in the A2 category, our article on 450 adventure bikes compared puts the Himalayan 450 alongside the BMW F 450 GS, KTM 390 Adventure R, CFMOTO 450MT, and Moto Morini Alltrhike.
License: based on the estimated power, you’ll need an A license unless there’s a restricted version
The A2 license limits are set by European Directive 2006/126/EC: 35 kW of power, a power-to-weight ratio no higher than 0.2 kW/kg, and a motorcycle that does not originally exceed double that power, i.e. 70 kW.
The figures for the Himalayan 750
35 kW is equivalent to around 47.6 hp. The 650 Royal Enfield models, with 47 hp, are below the limit and can be ridden with an A2 license as standard. If the 750 really has 55-60 hp, or around 40-44 kW, it will exceed the A2 limit. As long as it stays below 70 kW, it could be restricted and approved for A2, but only if Royal Enfield offers a version or kit. There is currently no indication of this.
Always check the motorcycle’s registration document: it specifies which license category it is approved for.
Price and arrival: pricing in Milan, dealerships in 2027
Royal Enfield has not published prices or delivery dates. Anything you read online is speculation.
- Price: no official information. German magazine Motorrad & Reisen estimates a price below €10,000. The only confirmed reference is the Himalayan 450, priced from €5,900 (Kaza Brown) to €6,600 (Mana Black) on the Royal Enfield Italia website.
- India: local publications report a launch at Motoverse in Goa (November 27-29, 2026) or by March 2027.
- Europe: expected to go on sale during 2027. We’ll confirm the date for Italy after EICMA.
Beware of pages already online: some websites publish “Himalayan 750” pages with prices, colors, and technical specifications. These are estimates or reconstructions, not official price lists. Trust only the official page due out in November.

Accessories: nothing specific until the production bike is unveiled
Racks for panniers, crash bars, handguards, and plates are designed to fit the production bike’s dimensions. Anyone selling you an accessory “for the Himalayan 750” today is doing so without having seen the final mounting points. We won’t: here’s what makes sense now and what’s worth waiting for.
- Waterproof tail bag to strap to the stock luggage rack
- Approved auxiliary lights with clamp brackets
- Phone mount with bar or mirror attachment
- Tool kit, compressor, and tubeless tire repair kit
- Pannier racks and top-case plates
- Crash bars and skid plate
- Dedicated handguard kit
- Any accessory claimed to fit the Himalayan 450
- Capacity
- 50 liters, roll-top with magnetic closure
- Construction
- Removable U-shaped plate: holds its shape even when half-empty
- Details
- Air valve, separate inner pocket, MOLLE, shoulder straps
- Installation
- With straps on the passenger seat or luggage rack
- Price
- 221,00 €
- Approval
- ECE R149, low beam and high beam
- Adjustment
- 8 levels with handlebar dial
- Protection
- IP68, CNC aluminum body
- Light
- White 6000K or yellow 3000K with lens cover
- Price
- 261,00 €
Two honest caveats. The position of the auxiliary lights will depend on where the 750 has a suitable tube or bar: we’ll know once we have the bike in hand. And our magnetic quick-release tank bag uses brand-specific rings, but Royal Enfield isn’t among the brands currently covered, so it’s not an option for the Himalayan.
If you already own a Himalayan 450 or 411, you can find products listed for those models in the Royal Enfield Himalayan accessories collection. For soft luggage, the choice between a tail bag and panniers is explained in semi-rigid luggage: tail bag or crash bars.
