Royal Enfield’s getting ready to show off its strongest adventure bike yet – the 750 Himalayan – during EICMA 2025 in Milan, running November 4 through 9. Instead of sticking to small engines, this release signals a shift toward bigger bikes meant for rough trails or cross-country hauls.
Global Debut and India Launch
The Himalayan 750 hits EICMA 2025 first, then shows up in India during the Motoverse Festival in Goa between November 21 and 23. This two-stage rollout shows Royal Enfield aiming wide internationally but still rooted in its home rider base.
New 750cc Engine
The Himalayan 750 gets its punch from a fresh 750cc parallel-twin engine – likely an evolved take on the brand’s current 648cc model. This updated engine delivers higher output, pushing beyond 50 bhp while hitting roughly 60 Nm of twisting force.
It’s hooked up to a six-speed transmission along with a slipper clutch, giving easier cruising on highways while boosting grip when riding rough trails. An updated cooling setup combined with a reworked exhaust path works to handle heat more efficiently, particularly in thin air up high.
Major Mechanical and Design Changes
The fresh Himalayan rides on a totally redesigned frame plus subframe, made to manage extra power. It comes with two front disc brakes while rocking fully adjustable USD forks; there’s also a rear monoshock equipped with remote preload control so riders can tweak suspension depending on road type or cargo weight.
The Himalayan 750 looks tougher and more grown-in compared to before. It features a partial fairing, along with an LED headlight – plus a taller windscreen that blocks airflow better. There’s a bigger fuel tank on board, matched by an upward-swept exhaust; the cockpit setup takes cues from rally bikes, giving it a rugged, go-anywhere vibe.
Features and Technology
The Himalayan 750 packs plenty of tech focused on making long rides easier, yet more enjoyable. A round-shaped TFT display links up with your phone, offering Google Maps right on the dash. Besides that, riders can look forward to selectable drive settings, two-way ABS, along with smart grip control when tackling different terrains.
The frame’s built with spots for luggage racks, protection bars, or extra lighting – so it’s set up for long rides straight off the lot.
Two Variants for Different Riders
Royal Enfield’s kicking off the Himalayan 750 with a pair of options. The Adventure model’s got wire-spoke wheels – 19 inches up front, 17 in the back – with knobby tyres built for people who ride dirt trails. The Touring model’s got alloy wheels along with tyres made for regular roads, perfect if you’re mostly driving on highways. Both versions use identical mechanical foundations, yet they’re adjusted for separate riding approaches.
Touring Comfort and Capability
The Himalayan 750 is built for long rides. It holds more fuel, so stops are less frequent; airflow around the bike helps at speed while its seating position keeps riders comfortable. Test versions spotted on roads already carry handy add-ons such as frame protectors, tank rails, even saree guards – clear signs it’s shaped for real use across India.
Expected Price and Competition
In India, the Himalayan 750 should launch at roughly ₹4.5 lakh (ex-showroom). Sitting higher than the 450, it’ll become Royal Enfield’s flagship adventure bike.
This new model will go head-to-head with bikes such as the KTM 390 Adventure, Kawasaki Versys X 300, BMW F 450 GS, or even the Honda CB500X. Because it’s built locally, Royal Enfield probably prices it below those competitors, yet still delivers equal – if not better – performance.
Why It Matters for Royal Enfield
The Himalayan 750 marks a major leap forward in Royal Enfield’s path into adventure riding. While the 411 kicked things off and the 450 sharpened the idea, this one pushes it onto the world stage. With stronger performance, smoother details, and real-world usability – it keeps the straightforward charm that makes Royal Enfield what it is.
The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750’s looking like the real standout in their range now. Thanks to a brand-new twin-cylinder motor, better frame setup, along with gear aimed at long rides – it suits those chasing solid adventure performance plus ease on the road.
When it shows up at EICMA 2025, this bike won’t only launch a fresh ride – instead, it’ll signal Royal Enfield stepping boldly into the midsize adventure scene worldwide, packed with flair and identity.
