Royal Enfield has unveiled its Himalayan 750 to the public days after the media ride we were invited to but unfortunately could not attend. Powered by a 743cc air/oil-cooled parallel-twin, the new model combines a steel chassis, SHOWA suspension, cornering ABS.

Ten years after the original Himalayan 411 introduced a new generation of riders to adventure motorcycling, Royal Enfield has taken the concept into the middleweight category with the 2027 Himalayan 750.

Unveiled at EICMA in Milan, the Himalayan 750 is the company’s first 750cc motorcycle and represents a significant expansion of its adventure range. Royal Enfield says the new model draws on a decade of rider experience and development, bringing increased performance and capability without losing the rugged simplicity associated with the Himalayan name.
A 19in and 17in tubeless spoked wheel front and rear.
The new machine is built around an all-new 743cc parallel-twin engine, with a steel frame, long-travel Showa suspension and a 19-inch front wheel. Royal Enfield’s approach is to provide the technology required for modern adventure touring without allowing electronics to overshadow the riding experience.
New 743cc Parallel-Twin Engine
At the heart of the Himalayan 750 is an air/oil-cooled, four-stroke, SOHC parallel-twin engine displacing 743cc. Bore and stroke measure 83.5 x 67.8mm, with a 9.5:1 compression ratio, while maximum torque is rated at 63Nm at 5000rpm.
There is a version with cast alloy wheels also.
Royal Enfield says 90 per cent of peak torque is available from as low as 3500rpm, providing accessible performance for climbing, touring and negotiating varied terrain. Maximum power is listed at 55PS (40.5kW) at 7000rpm, with a six-speed gearbox and wet multi-plate clutch completing the drivetrain.
The engine uses wet-sump lubrication and electric starting, with magnesium engine covers helping reduce weight. Royal Enfield describes the power delivery as smooth, predictable and engaging, with the emphasis on usable performance rather than outright speed.
Lean sensitive traction control is featured.
Steel Chassis, SHOWA Suspension and Braking
The Himalayan 750 uses a box-section spine frame with pressed-steel outriggers, with the engine acting as a stressed member. Wheelbase is 1522mm, with a 27.9-degree rake and 121.5mm trail, while ground clearance is listed at 205mm.
Twin 280mm front rotors for stopping power.
Suspension is handled by fully adjustable 43mm Showa upside-down cartridge forks offering 190mm of travel. The rear uses a SHOWA Mono Tube IFP monoshock with linkage, rebound adjustment and remote preload adjustment, providing 175mm of rear wheel travel.
The 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels are available in cast-alloy or spoked configurations, both using tubeless tyres. Braking comes from twin 280mm front discs with twin-piston floating calipers and a 255mm rear disc, also with a twin-piston caliper.
A six-axis IMU supports cornering ABS and lean-sensitive traction control, with rear ABS switchable for off-road use. The combination of long-travel suspension, ground clearance and electronic assistance is designed to provide a balance between road stability and off-road capability.
Length is 2185mm.
Touring Capability and Rider Technology
Royal Enfield has given the Himalayan 750 a strong touring focus, with an 815mm seat height, independent rider and pillion seats and a five-position adjustable windscreen offering up to 60mm of adjustment. The narrow waistline is intended to improve accessibility, while optional low and touring seat configurations allow riders to tailor the ergonomics.
Fuel capacity is listed at 17.8 litres, with kerb weight at 223kg including 90 per cent fuel and oil, and a payload capacity of 194kg in the technical specification. The marketing material rounds the payload figure to 195kg. A centrestand is included in the quoted kerb weight.
Tyres are 110/80-19 and 150/70-17.
Electronics include five riding modes: Road, Road Sport, Rain, Trail and Custom. These adjust engine mapping, ABS and traction control, with four traction-control levels available – Low, Medium, High and Off. Cruise control is also standard.
A 4-inch circular TFT display provides navigation, phone and music control through Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. Other equipment includes dual USB-C ports, one offering 27W fast charging, tyre pressure monitoring, an immobiliser, self-cancelling indicators and an emergency brake lamp. Lighting is LED, with a new 7-inch headlight.
Touring Pack, Colours and Accessories
The flagship Antarctic Silver variant is presented with a dedicated touring package, including bespoke GIVI top box and hard panniers, mounting hardware and inner bags. Heated grips, handguards and an aluminium skid plate are also included, creating a ready-equipped long-distance adventure option.
Royal Enfield has worked with GIVI to develop luggage specifically for the Himalayan 750, with the system designed to integrate without requiring a separate mounting rack. A range of additional soft luggage is also being developed through the partnership.
Other colour options listed include Siberia White and Viking Bronze with spoked wheels, and Aztec Green with cast wheels. The global press release also lists Tectonic Black as a cast-wheel option, although colour availability will vary between markets.
Australian pricing, local specifications and arrival timing have not yet been confirmed.
