Royal Enfield Himalayan 750: Specs, Features, Colours and What's New
A 743cc twin-cylinder Himalayan, built for all roads and no roads. Everything Royal Enfield has revealed, in one place.
For ten years the Himalayan has been Royal Enfield's answer to anyone who wanted one motorcycle for the commute, the highway and the mountain pass. The new Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 takes that idea to a much bigger engine. Royal Enfield's own tagline for it is simple: "All roads. No roads."
In this post we go through everything Royal Enfield has published about the Himalayan 750 on its official website: the 743cc twin-cylinder engine, the chassis and suspension, the electronics, the colours, and how it compares with the Himalayan 450 and Himalayan 440.

A Himalayan built on ten years of riding
Royal Enfield calls the Himalayas its "spiritual home", and the Himalayan name has been tied to them from the start. The company's own timeline traces the story in three steps:
- 2016: The Himalayan 411 is born.
- 2023: A new spartan take on adventure motorcycling.
- 2026: The Himalayan 750, "a machine built to go further than you ever imagined."
“Every kilometre of experience and every terrain traversed in the last decade comes built into the Himalayan 750.”
The result is positioned as an adventure tourer for long-distance touring, "built to cross countries, continents and everything in between."
Himalayan 750 engine and performance
The biggest change is the engine. The Himalayan 750 uses a 743cc air-oil-cooled inline twin-cylinder, 4-stroke motor with a single overhead camshaft.
Bore and stroke are 83.5 mm × 67.8 mm, and the compression ratio is 9.5:1.
Royal Enfield rates it at 55 PS (40.5 kW) at 7,000 rpm and 63 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm. Power goes through a wet multi-plate clutch and a 6-speed gearbox. The engine uses a wet sump with fully synthetic 10W-50 oil (API SL / JASO MA2), and starting is electric.
Chassis, suspension and brakes
Suspension built for rough roads
The front suspension offers 190 mm of travel and is adjustable for preload, compression and rebound. At the rear is a Showa monoshock with a linkage, giving 175 mm of travel with preload and rebound adjustment. Ground clearance is 205 mm.
Wheels and tyres
The Himalayan 750 keeps the classic adventure combination of a 19-inch front and a 17-inch rear wheel, with 110/80 R19 and 150/70 R17 tyres. Buyers can choose cast-alloy or tubeless spoked wheels. Royal Enfield says the 19-inch front "delivers fluid handling across all roads and no roads".
Brakes and safety
Stopping is handled by twin 280 mm floating discs with 2-piston floating calipers at the front and a 255 mm disc with a 2-piston floating caliper at the rear. Dual-channel ABS is standard, and ABS can be switched off at the rear for off-road riding. Royal Enfield also lists cornering ABS, lean-sensitive traction control and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) as standard.
Dimensions and weight
The Himalayan 750 is 2,185 mm long, 840 mm wide and 1,450 mm tall, with a 1,522 mm wheelbase. Rake is 27.9° and trail is 121.5 mm.
Seat height is 815 mm, kerb weight is 224 kg, and the fuel tank holds 17.8 litres.
Payload capacity is 194 kg. Royal Enfield says you can "load up the Himalayan without losing stability", which matters for anyone planning to tour two-up with luggage.
Features and technology
- TFT display: A circular 4-inch TFT screen "powered by Google engine", with contextual alerts, full-map Google navigation (Tripper Dash) and calls.
- Riding modes: Five riding modes that adjust ABS and traction control to the weather and terrain.
- Cruise control: Cruise control, including lean-sensitive cruise control.
- Connectivity: Bluetooth and Wi-Fi phone connectivity, plus Wingman 2.0 (4G/GPS).
