Royal Enfield has been making significant strides in expanding its lineup, and the Himalayan 750 is the latest addition to the adventure touring segment. The Himalayan 750 has been spotted testing multiple times, revealing key details about its design, performance, and expected launch timeline.
Design and Aesthetics
The Himalayan 750 features a robust and purposeful design, leaning more towards adventure touring rather than trail bashing. Key design elements include:
- A tall, adjustable windshield for better wind protection.
- A beefed-up look with a more chiseled fuel tank compared to the Himalayan 450.
- Split-style seats, a metallic bash plate to protect the engine underbelly, and an upswept exhaust muffler.
- Front and rear LED indicators and a luggage rack integrated with split grab rails at the rear.
Engine and Performance
The Himalayan 750 is expected to be powered by a new 750cc parallel-twin engine, which is being developed from the ground up. This engine is expected to produce around 50-55 bhp and 60-65 Nm of torque, offering enhanced performance compared to the current 650cc engine. The engine will be paired with a six-speed gearbox.
Suspension and Braking
The suspension setup includes USD forks at the front and a monoshock unit at the rear, both of which appear to be adjustable. The braking system features dual discs at the front and a single disc at the rear, ensuring better stopping power.
Features
The Himalayan 750 is expected to come equipped with a range of premium features, including:
- All-LED lighting for better visibility and aesthetics.
- A TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation.
- Cruise control, traction control, off-road riding mode, and switchable ABS.
Launch Timeline
The Himalayan 750 is expected to be unveiled at the EICMA 2025 in November. The production version is anticipated to launch sometime in late 2026 or early 2027. This timeline aligns with Royal Enfield’s broader plan to introduce a new 750cc platform across its lineup, including the Continental GT 750 and Interceptor 750.
The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 promises to be a significant upgrade from its predecessor, offering enhanced performance, a more refined design, and advanced features. With its focus on adventure touring and highway cruising, the Himalayan 750 is poised to attract a wide range of riders. Stay tuned for more updates as the launch date approaches.
