Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 Unveiled: Specs and Colours

Royal Enfield unveiled the Himalayan 750 at EICMA 2026 in Milan on 3 November 2026. It is powered by a new 743cc air-oil-cooled parallel-twin engine. UK and European prices have been announced with bookings open; an Indian price has not. This article is current as of 3 November 2026.

Engine and gearbox

Royal Enfield's India product page for the Himalayan 750 lists the engine as a 743cc air-oil-cooled twin with a six-speed gearbox and electric start. The page gives 55 PS at 7,000rpm and 63Nm at 5,000rpm. BikeWale's report of the unveil gives 54.25bhp at the same engine speed; the two figures are the same power expressed in different units and rounding (PS and bhp are slightly different units), so a small gap is expected. Royal Enfield also says 90 per cent of peak torque is available from 3,500rpm, according to BikeWale, and the bike has an assist and slipper clutch.

Chassis and equipment

• Frame: box-section spine frame with the engine as a stressed member (BikeWale)
• Suspension: Showa 43mm upside-down fork with 190mm travel; Showa rear monoshock with 175mm travel
• Wheels: 19-inch front and 17-inch rear, tubeless, with 110/80 R19 and 150/70 R17 tyres
• Brakes: twin 280mm front discs and a 255mm rear disc, with dual-channel ABS
• Dimensions: 205mm ground clearance, 815mm seat height, 1,522mm wheelbase
• Fuel tank: 17.8 litres
• Kerb weight: 224kg, with 90 per cent fuel and oil

On electronics, the official page lists five riding modes, traction control, cruise control, tyre pressure monitoring and a 4-inch round TFT display. BikeWale adds that the bike has a six-axis IMU for cornering ABS and lean-sensitive traction control, Bluetooth with navigation, a new LED headlamp and two USB Type-C ports.

Colours

Five colours are listed: Antarctic Silver, Siberia White, Aztec Green, Viking Bronze and Tectonic Black. BikeWale reports that Antarctic Silver is shown with a touring package of top box, hard panniers, heated grips, hand guards and a skid plate.

Prices announced so far

BikeWale reports these UK prices, with bookings open in Europe, and gives rupee equivalents that are only conversions:

• Alloy-wheel variants: GBP 6,999
• Spoked-wheel variant: GBP 7,299
• Antarctic Silver with luggage package: GBP 8,699

Royal Enfield's India page states no ex-showroom price. BikeWale says it expects an Indian launch at the Royal Enfield Motoverse, held 26 to 28 November 2026, but that is the outlet's expectation, not a company announcement.

The Continental GT 750

Royal Enfield also showed the Continental GT 750 at EICMA 2026. BikeWale reports that it uses an uprated version of the same 743cc twin and comes in faired and unfaired versions, with a twin-pod TFT cluster and the colours Red Line, TT Blue and Master Clean. Power, torque, weight and price for that model had not been published in the sources checked, so none are given here.

Reading the power figure

The Royal Enfield page gives power in PS, a metric horsepower unit, while many news reports use bhp. One metric horsepower is about 0.986 of a brake horsepower, so 55 PS and 54.25 bhp are close to the same quantity but are not identical numbers. The torque figure of 63Nm is the same in both sources, and so are the capacity and the engine speeds.

The kerb weight of 224kg is measured with 90 per cent fuel and oil, according to the company's page, which is a common way of stating a ready-to-ride weight. It is a published figure for comparison, not something tested here.

A spine frame uses a strong central beam, here a box section, to join the steering head to the rear of the bike, and using the engine as a stressed member means the engine itself carries part of the frame's load. Royal Enfield's description, as relayed by BikeWale's report, is the reason the Himalayan 750's weight is said to be close to that of the company's 650cc engine. The torque spread claim, 90 per cent of peak from 3,500rpm, refers to how early in the rev range the engine produces most of its pulling force.
