Out testing for some considerable period is the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750. This time it seems more akin to production-ready. Spotted testing in Southern Europe, Royal Enfield’s much-awaited Himalayan 750 offers us a first view of the brand’s future flagship adventure tourer.
The most recent spy pictures show a test mule packed with extra sensors, signifying continuous engineering and durability testing. This Himalayan seems to have a new engine, and Royal Enfield will probably run the more potent motor on what will be its biggest and largest motorcycle thus far. Although the precise specs of the production model are yet unknown, the mule looks more production-ready and offers a glimpse of the design together with some elements most likely to find their way in the final form.
Most likely, the Himalayan 750 will be developed on a brand new base not shared with Royal Enfield’s present 650cc line-up, including the Interceptor 650, Continental GT 650, Super Meteor 650, and Shotgun 650. Its brand-new motor will generate more power and torque than the current 648cc twin-cylinder engine, which generates 47hp and 52Nm. Based on spy testing, this motor most likely will first show up in the next-generation Interceptor and Continental GT.
The test motorcycle notably has a mono-shock at the rear and a fully adjustable inverted fork at the front. Its distinctive semi-fairing serves to set the bigger Himalayan apart from its single-cylinder relative. The bigger Himalayan is also slated to get an improved TFT, which seems to be a rectangular unit when compared to the present circular display. It will also have all-LED illumination, with the Royal Enfield Himalayan’s departing headlamp and tail-light system replicated here.
Along with a modern braking system with two front discs and Bybre-branded callipers, the spy motorcycle also boasts The Himalayan 750 seems to have wire spokes on both a 17-inch rear wheel and a 19-inch front wheel. Whether Royal Enfield would provide the bike with tubeless wheels, as usual, is yet unknown.
Though we might see the first bikes with this new, larger engine make its introduction later in 2025, the Himalayan 750 launch is still some time off. Right now, Royal Enfield’s adventure line-up consists of the Himalayan 450, priced at Rs 2.98 lakh (ex-showroom, Chennai).
