    Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 To Debut At Motoverse – What We Know So Far

    Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 TeasedAfter a grand debut at the 2025 EICMA Show, Royal Enfield is expected to showcase the new Himalayan 750 at 2025 Motoverse in Goa held between 21st to 23rd of November, 2025. This is the first time Himalayan 750 will be officially showcased on Indian soil and ahead of that, test mules continue to be spied on in the country. Here are all the things we know ahead of its India debut.
    Himalayan 750 To Debut At Motoverse
    First of these 750cc Royal Enfield twinners is likely to be Continental GT 750 and then Himalayan 750. More eyes seem to be on the Himalayan 750 as it is likely to emerge as a versatile option for many aspirational bikers across the world. Royal Enfield has officially teased it alongside an electric Himalayan prototype testing in the Himalayan mountain range.
    Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 Alloy Variant
    Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 shows a similar styling exercise as Himalayan 450 with rear turn indicators mounted tail lights, a sturdy-looking luggage rack and even a saree guard, suggesting that this middle-weight ADV is in its final rounds of testing. The last test mule sighting showed an alloy wheel version and there is a more trail-worthy wire-spoke wheel version spied as well.
    Himalayan 750 looks substantially larger than Himalayan 450 and it seems to be bearing a larger fuel tank as well. There is a probability of it accommodating around 20L of fuel. There’s a single exhaust which is up-swept to allow water wading. Front windshield is large and might bring adjustability into the equation as well.
    Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 Alloy Variant with Adjustable Suspension
    The unit showcased at EICMA Show had USD front forks with adjustability for compression and rebound along with cross-spoke wheels. As revealed in previous spy shots, rear is likely to get adjustable suspension too and one can see a remote pre-load adjuster. Tripper Dash makes its way here and we can see dual disc brake setup at the front.
    Expected features include ride-by-wire throttle with cruise control, a bi-directional quick-shifter, circular LED headlights, LED tail lights and integrated turn indicators, Google Maps mirroring, music control, switchable dual-channel ABS and even a centre stand.
    Royal Enfield Himalayan 750
    New 750cc engine
    With a 650cc engine, Royal Enfield finally stepped into the ring of multi-cylinder middle-weight motorcycles. Before that, Royal Enfield used to have a 499cc single-cylinder unit and a big bore version of it with a 535cc engine seen in Continental GT 535. Now, the company’s big displacement aspirations have navigated it to a new 750cc unit.
    While performance metrics are not confirmed by Royal Enfield, Himalayan 750 might pack around 60 bhp of peak power and around 55 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. This parallel-twin oil-cooled engine is expected to be refined and offer a fatigue-free touring experience to riders.

    Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Rally Edition Teased – EICMA Debut On 4th Nov

    Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Rally Edition TeasedUpcoming Himalayan 450 Rally will be getting a range of off-road focused equipment and possibly longer-travel suspension
    Royal Enfield has busy days ahead with the EICMA 2025 starting soon and the Motoverse event to be held from 21st to 23rd November. At EICMA, one of the new products to be unveiled will be an offroad version of the Himalayan. This has been confirmed from the recent teasers of a new motorcycle off-roading at Mana, near Tibet border, posted by the brand. Let’s check out the details.
    Himalayan 450 Rally – What to expect?
    Teasers reveal only a few details about the upcoming offroad focused Himalayan 450 model. While there is no mention of any name, the bike could go on sale as Himalayan 450 Raid. Even in its current form, Himalayan 450 has good offroading capabilities. But with the new offroad focused model, users should be able to take on even more challenging terrains.
    Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Rally Edition Teased
    One of the key updates could be longer travel suspension. In its current form, Himalayan 450 has 43 mm USD front forks and linkage type monoshock rear suspension. At both front and rear, suspension travel is 200 mm. It is also possible that the offroad focused Himalayan 450 could get adjustable suspension for compression and rebound along with a slight power boost from an aftermarket exhaust.
    The engine will be the same, a 452 cc, liquid cooled, single cylinder unit. It generates 40.02 PS and 40 Nm of torque and is paired with a 6-speed gearbox. Key features include electronic fuel injection, ride-by-wire system and 42 mm throttle body. The bike is equipped with a slip & assist clutch. In other upgrades, offroad focused Himalayan 450 could get tubeless wire-spoke wheels, wrapped in knobby tyres. These will play a key role in ensuring peace of mind when exploring remote locations.

    Offroading accessories as standard
    The new Himalayan 450 Raid or Rally Edition is also expected to get a range of offroading accessories. Several of these are already offered with the existing Himalayan 450. Users will need more fuel when exploring remote locations. Teasers reveal a flared tail section, which indicates the presence of twin auxiliary fuel tanks.
    These are currently available with the rally kit. The stock 17-litre primary fuel tank is likely to be the same as the current model. Various other accessories could be offered as standard with the offroad focused Himalayan 450 model. The offroad kit could include accessories like rally gear lever, a larger windscreen, rally handguards with aluminium spine, aluminium sump guard, rally handlebar pad, single-piece seat, radiator guard, pannier rails and engine guard.
    New Himalayan Accessories – Rally
    Features that could be carried forward from the existing Himalayan 450 include the dual-channel ABS with switchable function. Wheel size could be the same – 21-inch at the front and 17-inch at the rear. Braking setup could also be retained, a 320 mm ventilated disc with double piston callipers at the front and a 270 mm ventilated disc with single piston calliper at the rear. The bike will have an all-LED setup and could be equipped with a digital display with turn-by-turn navigation. More

    Royal Enfield Electric Himalayan Spied Getting Charged Enroute Ladakh

    RE Electric Himalayan Spied Getting ChargedOne of the world’s leading classic motorcycle manufacturers, Royal Enfield, is going out on its limb to enter the lucrative electric 2W segment. While the Flying Flea brand is gaining traction, all eyes seem to be on Electric Himalayan project.
    Test mules of Electric Himalayan have been spied multiple times. Royal Enfield has officially teased Electric Himalayan test beds off-roading in Leh Ladakh region. Recent spy shots show Royal Enfield Electric Himalayan test mules getting charged via charging stations and mobile chargers on wheels running on ICE generators. Let’s take a closer look.
    RE Electric Himalayan Spied Getting Charged
    Electric Himalayan Spied Getting Charged
    Royal Enfield Himalayan is one of the company’s most celebrated models. It aims to be a hardcore off-roader and then a versatile tourer. The company has flexed its engineering prowess with Himalayan as it was their first ever ADV. Now, the company is porting over its expertise into electric 2W segment and Himalayan is a candidate.
    RE Electric Himalayan
    Electric Himalayan has been recently spied testing enroute Ladakh for testing. Being an electric motorcycle, it needs recharging especially while range usually drops while tackling inclines in mountain terrains. These test mules seen in recent spy shots were connected to fixed charging stations and then mobile chargers.
    RE Electric Himalayan
    These mobile chargers are likely to be working on diesel generators. In this case, the generator was housed inside a Force Traveller van. Royal Enfield seems to be operating a large number of test mules and that is why existing chargers were not enough to charge them all at once, necessitating the need for mobile chargers.
    RE Electric Himalayan
    However, this reflects the fact that India’s electric charging infrastructure is still in its nascent stage and is yet to evolve further. If a group of 10 friends took a ride like this, all on electric 2W or cars, there are just not enough charging stations to accommodate them all at once.
    RE Electric Himalayan Twin Battery Setup
    What to expect from Electric Himalayan?
    As seen in the video by er.janakbhardwaj on Instagram, Royal Enfield Electric Himalayan comes equipped with two separate battery packs. These could be removable allowing users to carry these battery packs to their apartments to charge. Also, this design might help users to carry battery packs to nearest domestic plug when fully depleted rather than pushing the entire motorcycle. Think jerrycans, but for electric 2W vehicles.
    RE Electric Himalayan
    Overall ethos of Himalayan ICE motorcycle have been carried over. In this sense, Electric Himalayan is still an off-roader as it gets large wire-spoke wheels with off-road tyres, high ground clearance and suspension travel, a tall windscreen for wind protection and more. It has to be noted that the units spied are still test beds and they get a lot of premium components.
    RE Electric Himalayan
    Most of these might not make it to final production model when launched. The company has not revealed a launch timeline, but Electric Himalayan is going to be a global product. Where performance is concerned, Electric Himalayan packs a mid-mounted motor from Spanish EV brand Stark Future SL, which could pack enough oomph to match Himalayan 450’s performance.

    Himalayan 750 Touring Model Spied In Production Guise – Launch Soon

    Himalayan 750 Touring ModelIt is expected that Himalayan 750 could be unveiled at 2025 EICMA and later launched at Royal Enfield Motoverse 2025
    As part of its multi-dimensional expansion strategy, Royal Enfield is working on several new models including electric bikes. Also under development is a new range of 750 cc bikes. First to launch among these could be the Himalayan 750, spotted multiple times on road tests. Latest spy shots reveal a tourer version of the Himalayan 750. Let’s check out the details.
    Himalayan 750 tourer – Styling and features
    As compared to earlier test mules that had wire-spoke wheels, this tourer version can be seen with alloy wheels. One can also notice a circular digital cluster, similar to that of Himalayan 450, Super Meteor 650 and other Royal Enfield bikes. Earlier this year in April, a Himalayan 750 test mule spotted in Europe was seen with a rectangular digital console.
    Himalayan 750 Touring Model
    Royal Enfield 750cc bikes will aggressively target overseas markets including Europe and North America. There are likely to be some differences in equipment list, as compared to India-spec models. Features common across all test mule sightings include the round headlamp, a large windscreen, sculpted fuel tank and prominent tank extensions.
    Himalayan 750 has two-into-one exhaust pipes with a high-mounted side canister, split seats and robust grab rails. Pannier mounts are available and there’s a top box rack as well. Riding stance is upright and comfortable, made possible with the centrally positioned footpegs and a wide handlebar. This relaxed rider triangle seems apt for long distance touring, as rider comfort can be optimized. Spy shot video below credit to PowerDrift.

    Reworked chassis, re-engineered engine
    Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 will be using a new frame and subframe. Powering the bike will be a 750cc, parallel-twin engine, expected to deliver around 50-55 hp and 60 Nm of peak torque. It will be paired with a 6-speed transmission. This 750cc engine is likely to be a re-engineered version of the existing 648 cc engine. The higher capacity could have been achieved by using a bigger bore. The 648cc engine delivers 47 hp and 52 Nm of torque.
    With the more powerful 750cc engine, users can expect enhanced cruising capabilities. The bike will be getting premium features such as cruise control and a range of Bluetooth-based connectivity functions. Turn-by-turn navigation is expected to be part of the tech kit. With increased power output, the braking setup has been upgraded with dual discs at the front. Royal Enfield’s 650cc motorcycles are equipped with a single front disc brake. At the rear, Himalayan 750 has a single disc brake. Wheel size is 19-inch front and 17-inch rear.
    Suspension setup comprises USD front forks and a monoshock rear shock absorber. It is likely that the suspension will be adjustable, allowing users to customize as per their needs and preferences. The bike should be able to handle mild to moderate off-road tracks. Upon launch, Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 will rival the likes of Kawasaki Versys 650 and Suzuki V-Strom 650. Royal Enfield is also working on other 750cc models such as Continental GT-R 750 and Interceptor 750.
