Royal Enfield has finally stopped playing hide and seek with the Himalayan 750. On 26 October 2026 the company posted its first official teaser, and it didn’t show much of the bike at all. What it did show was a set of map coordinates pointing to the middle of Milan. That’s where EICMA, the big motorcycle show, runs from 3 to 8 November 2026. So the global reveal is basically a week away.
If you’ve been waiting for a proper twin-cylinder Himalayan for touring with a pillion and luggage, here’s everything we know so far, and what is still just a good guess.
Engine: the biggest Royal Enfield motor yet
The bike should use an air-oil-cooled parallel twin of close to 750cc. It’s expected to grow out of the 648cc twin that already powers seven Royal Enfield models. No official numbers yet. The guesswork going around says roughly 55 PS and 60 Nm, plus a six-speed box. The current 650 does 47.4 hp and 56.5 Nm, so that’d be a decent jump. But honestly, nobody knows for sure till Milan.
Design, wheels and features
We’ve kind of seen it already. At its Himalayan Basecamp event, Royal Enfield rolled out a bike with zero camouflage on it. The round LED headlamp is still there. Around it you get a way bigger fairing, a tall screen, a big tank, a stepped seat and a luggage rack at the back. Looks like it’s made for eating up highway kilometres.
One change will surprise Himalayan fans. The front wheel drops to 19 inches, down from the 21-inch wheel on the current bikes, with a 17-inch wheel at the back. Test bikes have been seen on alloy wheels and on tubeless spoke wheels, so you may get a choice. Autocar India expects features like cruise control, traction control, adjustable suspension and twin front discs, which would make it the most tech-heavy Royal Enfield so far. A commercial shoot showed red, white and grey bikes, and black is likely the fourth colour.
Expected price and India launch date
There’s no official price yet. Autocar India’s estimate is ₹4.50 lakh to ₹5 lakh (ex-showroom), with an India launch expected around December 2026, possibly after it appears at Motoverse in Goa. Royal Enfield itself hasn’t confirmed the India date, so don’t hold your booking money just yet.
Should you wait or buy a Himalayan 450 now?
If most of your riding is solo and you like dirt trails, the 450 is still the lighter and cheaper bike, and that won’t change. If you do long highway runs with a pillion and bags, the 750 sounds like the bike you’ve actually been asking for. Honestly, it’s worth waiting two weeks to see the real specs and a few first rides before deciding.
We’ll update this post once Royal Enfield reveals the final numbers in Milan.
