Royal Enfield Himalayan 750: Price, Specs, India Launch Date
Royal Enfield is bringing its biggest adventure motorcycle to India. The Himalayan 750, powered by a 743cc parallel-twin engine making 55 hp, will launch at Motoverse 2026 in Goa between November 27 and 29. The expected Himalayan 750 price in India starts around ₹4.5 lakh ex-showroom, making it Royal Enfield’s direct answer to the KTM 790 Adventure and Suzuki V-Strom 800DE. Early reviews from international media have been overwhelmingly positive.
Himalayan 750 Engine and Performance
The Himalayan 750 runs a 743cc air-and-oil-cooled parallel-twin engine. Royal Enfield has tuned it for real world usability rather than peak numbers. It produces 55 hp at 7,000 rpm and 63 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm. What matters more is that 90% of peak torque is available from just 3,500 rpm, so you won’t need to wring the throttle on highway overtakes or steep inclines.
The engine pairs with a 6-speed gearbox. There is no quickshifter on offer, which is one omission that riders might notice at this price point. Competitors like the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE do offer one as standard.
Chassis and Braking Hardware
Royal Enfield has gone with top-shelf hardware here. The front gets a 43mm Showa fully adjustable USD fork with 190mm of travel. At the rear, there is a Showa monoshock with adjustable preload and rebound, offering 175mm of travel. This is a big step up from the Himalayan 450’s setup.
The frame is a box-section spine design with pressed steel outriggers, using the engine as a stressed member. Wheels are a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear combination, available in alloy or tubeless cross-spoke options depending on the variant.
Braking hardware includes twin 280mm discs at the front and a 255mm disc at the rear. The bike gets dual-channel ABS as standard, but the real upgrade is cornering ABS powered by a 6-axis IMU. This is the first Royal Enfield motorcycle to feature lean-sensitive braking and traction control, which is a major step in Royal Enfield’s big bike strategy.
Features and Electronics
The electronics package is comprehensive for a Royal Enfield. Five riding modes let you adjust the bike’s character based on the terrain. Lean-sensitive traction control works alongside the cornering ABS, and cruise control comes as standard for highway touring.
The 4-inch circular TFT display has a built-in SIM slot for 4G and GPS connectivity, plus Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. You get turn-by-turn navigation on the screen itself, along with phone and music controls. Tyre pressure monitoring (TPMS) is also included.
GIVI has developed official touring accessories including panniers and a top box. The 17.8-litre fuel tank should deliver decent range given the engine’s relaxed tuning. Seat height is 815mm, with optional 20mm taller or shorter seats available.
Himalayan 750 Variants and Colours
Royal Enfield will offer the Himalayan 750 in two variants: Alloy Wheel and Spoke Wheel. Both share the same engine and electronics package. The spoke wheel variant uses tubeless cross-spoke rims better suited for off-road use.
Five colours are available: Antarctic Silver, Siberia White, Viking Bronze, Tectonic Black, and Aztec Green.
What Will the Himalayan 750 Price Be in India?
The Himalayan 750 price estimates vary across sources. NDTV Auto and ZigWheels peg the expected ex-showroom figure at ₹4.5 to 5 lakh. AutoCar India suggests a wider ₹5 to 6.20 lakh range. In Delhi, on-road pricing could land between ₹5.68 and ₹6.49 lakh once you factor in insurance and registration.
That puts it well below the KTM 790 Adventure and Honda Transalp XL750, while sitting close to the Kawasaki Versys 650. Undercutting established rivals on price has been Royal Enfield’s growth formula in recent years, and the Himalayan 750 specs suggest they plan to repeat it here.
Himalayan 750 India Launch Date
Royal Enfield will unveil the Himalayan 750 for India at Motoverse 2026, its annual rider festival in Goa, scheduled from November 27 to 29. Deliveries are expected to begin in December 2026 or January 2027.
At 223 to 224 kg kerb weight, it is not a lightweight. International reviewers have noted that highway cruising is where it feels most at home, with a spacious cockpit and stable handling. The 224 kg does show up on tight trails, though.
For Royal Enfield, this bike matters beyond the spec sheet. With the Meteor 350 already crossing 6 lakh sales worldwide, there is a large base of existing owners ready to step up to a bigger machine. If Royal Enfield nails the pricing at or below ₹5 lakh, the Himalayan 750 could do to the middleweight adventure segment what the Classic 350 did to the cruiser market.
