Royal Enfield has introduced a new, top-tier member of its adventure-touring lineup: the Himalayan 750. The bike pairs a newly developed parallel-twin powerplant with updated electronics and long-travel suspension aimed at mixed on- and off-road use.
New twin engine and where it may appear next
At the heart of the Himalayan 750 is a 743cc air/oil-cooled parallel-twin. Royal Enfield says this unit will also power a forthcoming Continental GT and is expected to replace or supplement the marque’s current 650 Twin across other models.

The company quotes a peak output of 55 hp at 7,000 rpm and a maximum torque figure of 46.5 lb-ft at 5,000 rpm. Royal Enfield adds that around 90% of torque is available from 3,500 rpm, a detail aimed at usable midrange performance for touring and trail work.
Electronics and rider aids
A ride-by-wire throttle controls five selectable modes: Road, Road Sport, Rain, Trail and Custom. Each mode adjusts engine mapping and interacts with the motorcycle’s cornering ABS and lean-sensitive traction control to suit different conditions and rider preferences.
Chassis and suspension
The Himalayan 750 uses a box-section spine frame with pressed steel side plates and the engine serving as a stressed member. The layout is intended to balance rigidity with serviceability.
Front suspension is a 43mm Showa cartridge-type inverted fork with adjustable damping, compression and rebound and about 7.5 inches of travel. At the rear a Showa monoshock, adjustable for preload and rebound, works through a linkage to provide roughly 6.9 inches of travel.
Brakes, wheels and tires
Braking hardware includes dual 280mm front discs with two-piston calipers and a single 255mm rear disc with a two-piston caliper. Riders can choose either wire-spoked or cast wheels, though wheel type is paired with specific color options.
According to Royal Enfield, the Aztec Green and — in some markets outside the U.S. — Teutonic Black finishes come with cast wheels. Siberia White, Viking Bronze and the top-tier Antarctic Silver are specified with spoked wheels. All versions ship with tubeless tires and a tire pressure monitoring system as standard equipment.
Comfort, connectivity and payload
Standard convenience and touring features include an adjustable windscreen and a 4-inch TFT display with Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. The bike also offers dual USB-C ports and self-cancelling turn signals.
Ergonomically it lists a 32.1-inch seat height and a 4.7-gallon fuel tank. Royal Enfield cites a claimed curb weight of 494 pounds. The Antarctic Silver package is available with additional touring hardware: heated grips, hand guards, hard panniers, a matching top box and an enlarged sump guard.
Availability
Royal Enfield has released extensive images of the new Himalayan 750, including a 66-photo gallery. U.S. pricing has not yet been announced.
