Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 revealed at EICMA: a new twin-cylinder chapter for the adventure range
BikersDunia News Desk
KEY TAKEAWAY & EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Royal Enfield has revealed its Himalayan 750 at EICMA 2026, introducing a 743cc parallel twin and a broader set of touring and rider-assistance features to the Himalayan family.
The Himalayan moves to a larger platform
Royal Enfield presented the Himalayan 750 at EICMA in Milan on 3 November 2026. Its most consequential change is an all-new 743cc air/oil-cooled parallel twin: the first twin-cylinder engine in the Himalayan family and a different proposition from the existing Himalayan 450 single.
The manufacturer calls it a launch at EICMA, but that global announcement should not be confused with a confirmed Indian on-road price or delivery schedule. Indian buyers should check Royal Enfield's local announcements and dealers for availability.
What the new twin promises
Royal Enfield states that the engine produces 63 Nm at 5,000 rpm, with 90% of peak torque available from 3,500 rpm. That is a manufacturer claim about the torque curve, not an independently measured result or a guarantee of performance with luggage and a passenger.
A larger twin can appeal to riders who spend long periods on open roads, but capacity alone cannot establish fuel economy, heat management or comfort. Those points need an Indian road test and ownership experience before firm conclusions can be drawn.
Electronics and wheels
The announced equipment includes five riding modes, a six-axis inertial measurement unit, cornering ABS, lean-sensitive traction control and cruise control. These systems are intended to support the rider in different conditions; their operation and availability should be checked against the final specification for the chosen market.
Royal Enfield describes a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear tubeless setup with cast or spoked wheels. Wheel choice, tyre availability and replacement costs are practical questions for long-distance travellers, especially when planning routes away from large cities.
Touring details and the 450 connection
An adjustable windscreen and separate rider and pillion seats form part of the announced touring package. Royal Enfield quotes a 195 kg payload capacity; riders still need to account for both occupants, luggage and accessories within the motorcycle's limits.
The existing Himalayan 450 remains the relevant smaller-capacity model to research alongside this new twin. The 750's additional equipment and different engine make it a separate choice, and specifications alone cannot establish which will be easier for a particular rider on a trail or in traffic.
What remains to be confirmed for India
At the time of this article, an Indian price and delivery timetable have not been established by the cited announcement. Avoid converting an overseas price into an assumed Indian price: taxes, specification and market positioning may differ.
Before booking, verify the local variant and equipment list, seat fit, service support and the full on-road quotation. We have not independently tested the Himalayan 750.
