Royal Enfield is gearing up for its biggest global displacement leap yet at EICMA 2026 in Milan, Italy, pulling the wraps off the highly anticipated Royal Enfield Himalayan 750. Positioned as the undisputed flagship of Chennai's adventure-touring lineup, the twin-cylinder mile-muncher builds on the brand's aggressive multi-powertrain offensive that we recently tracked in our coverage of Royal Enfield's Electric Era: Flying Flea and E-Himalayan Set for December 2026 Launch.

While the liquid-cooled single-cylinder Himalayan 450 and its upcoming sibling—covered in our detailed breakdown of the Royal Enfield Scrambler 450: Price, Sherpa 450 Engine Specs & India Launch—conquered technical mountain trails, veteran tourers have long demanded a multi-cylinder highway cruiser that eliminates high-rpm single-cylinder buzz. With a bored-out 750cc parallel-twin engine, twin front disc brakes, tubeless cross-spoke wheels, and an expected Indian price band of ₹4.00 Lakh to ₹4.20 Lakh (ex-showroom), the Himalayan 750 is engineered to redefine middleweight touring in India.
Quick Key Highlights (TL;DR)
New 750cc Parallel-Twin Heart: Derived from the proven 648cc twin architecture, the bored-out 750cc air/oil-cooled motor is retuned for meaty low-end torque (~55–60 bhp and ~60–65 Nm) and effortless 130+ km/h highway cruising without single-cylinder vibrations.
Serious Hardware Upgrades: Features adjustable Showa inverted (USD) forks, a linked rear monoshock with remote preload adjustment, twin front disc brakes with ByBre callipers, and a road-focused 19-inch front / 17-inch rear tubeless cross-spoke or alloy wheel setup.
First-in-Class Touring Tech: Adds an updated 4-inch circular Tripper Dash TFT, Ride-by-Wire throttle, factory Cruise Control, Switchable Traction Control, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), and Google Maps full-screen navigation.
Expected Price & Launch Window: Expected at ₹4.00 – ₹4.20 Lakh (ex-showroom) for base trims (stretching to ₹4.50 Lakh for fully kitted touring variants); global showcase this week at EICMA in Milan, followed by an India showcase at Motoverse Goa (November 24–26, 2026).
1. Parallel-Twin Platform: Built for 130+ km/h Vibration-Free Highway Cruising
The biggest mechanical talking point of the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 is its all-new 750cc air- and oil-cooled parallel-twin engine. Rather than developing an expensive, complex liquid-cooled twin from scratch that would push showroom prices past ₹6 lakh, Royal Enfield's UK and Chennai engineering centres bored out and heavily reworked the internals of the globally acclaimed 648cc twin platform—the same foundation that powers the flagship cruiser we covered in our Royal Enfield Classic 650 Hypershift Price in India (₹4.26 Lakh), Booking & Specs report.
Torque-Rich Tuning: While the 648cc motor produces 47.4 hp and 56.5 Nm (on the Bear 650), the enlarged 750cc unit is projected to deliver 55 to 60 bhp and a stout 60 to 65 Nm of peak torque.
Goodbye Single-Cylinder Buzz: Anyone who has ridden the 452cc Sherpa single at triple-digit speeds knows that high-frequency footpeg and handlebar vibrations creep in above 5,500 rpm. With a charismatic 270-degree firing order, dual balancer shafts, and a tall 6-speed gearbox with a slip-and-assist clutch, the Himalayan 750 can sit at 130+ km/h all day with a pillion and full aluminium panniers without straining the engine.
Weight-Saving 2-into-1 Exhaust: Ditching the heavy twin-peashooter silencers seen on the 2026 Royal Enfield Classic 650 and Interceptor, the Himalayan 750 routes its gases through a compact, high-mounted 2-into-1 upswept exhaust for superior water-wading clearance and lower kerb weight.
2. Hardware Upgrades: Showa USD Forks, Twin Front Discs & Tubeless Spokes
To handle the added mass and higher terminal speeds of a 750cc twin, Royal Enfield developed a dedicated steel tubular frame, a new swingarm, and its most sophisticated cycle parts to date:
Adjustable Showa Suspension & Linked Monoshock: Up front sits a beefy pair of Showa inverted (USD) forks with compression and preload adjustability, while the rear introduces a linked monoshock with a remote hand-turn preload adjuster—making it the very first twin-cylinder Royal Enfield to abandon twin rear shock absorbers.
Twin Front Disc Brakes: Stopping power receives a massive upgrade via dual front disc brakes gripped by radially mounted ByBre callipers, backed by a single rear disc and dual-channel ABS with a switchable rear off-road mode.
19/17-Inch Tubeless Cross-Spoke & Alloy Wheels: Unlike the hardcore trail-focused Himalayan 450 (which wears a tall 21-inch front rim), the Himalayan 750 shifts to a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel combination. Buyers will be able to choose between cast alloy wheels and tubeless-compatible cross-spoke rims, eliminating roadside inner-tube puncture nightmares on transcontinental tours.
Five Global Showcase Colours: Previewed in Antarctic Silver, Siberia White, Viking Bronze, Tectonic Black, and Aztec Green.
3. Electronics Suite: Updated Tripper Dash TFT & Factory Cruise Control
Long-distance touring ergonomics are paired with Royal Enfield's richest electronic suite yet:
Updated 4-Inch Circular Tripper Dash TFT: Controlled via a 5-way left-handlebar joystick, the colour TFT screen supports full-map Google Maps navigation mirroring, Bluetooth call/music management, and a USB Type-C fast-charging port.
Factory Cruise Control & Ride-by-Wire: Electronic throttle control unlocks dedicated right-hand switchgear for factory-fitted cruise control, multiple throttle riding modes, and switchable traction control for wet tarmac or loose gravel.
Built-In TPMS: Real-time Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) readouts appear directly on the TFT display, warning riders of slow leaks before high-speed highway stints.

5. Expected India Price, Launch Window & Middleweight Rivals
Following its global premiere at EICMA 2026 in Milan this week, Royal Enfield is expected to showcase the Himalayan 750 on home soil at Motoverse 2026 in Goa (scheduled for November 24–26, 2026), with customer deliveries and formal price announcements rolling out shortly thereafter.
At an aggressive introductory price window of ₹4.00 Lakh to ₹4.20 Lakh (ex-showroom) for standard alloy trims—and up to ₹4.50 Lakh for tubeless cross-spoke touring variants—the Himalayan 750 will disrupt the entire middleweight motorcycle market:
Undercutting Imported Twin ADVs: Imported parallel-twin tourers like the Honda NX500 (₹7.44 Lakh), Benelli TRK 552X (₹7.74 Lakh), and Kawasaki Versys 650 (₹8.63 Lakh) cost nearly double the Himalayan 750's expected sticker price. Even Honda's upcoming road-biased 500cc twins—detailed in our report on the Honda CB500F & Rebel 500 India Launch: Price & 471cc Parallel-Twin Specs—cannot match Royal Enfield's local manufacturing cost advantage.
Cross-Shopping Scramblers & Lightweight Rallies: Riders who prefer retro-scrambler flair in the same price bracket should also watch TVS's British offensive in our guide to the Norton Atlas & Atlas GT Launching in India to Challenge RE Bear 650, while pure featherweight dirt purists may prefer the Honda CRF300 Rally Expected in India.
