Royal Enfield’s new 743cc adventure tourer produces 55PS and 63Nm, gets Showa suspension, cornering ABS, cruise control and a 4-inch TFT display with Google Maps navigation.
Royal Enfield has officially unveiled the Himalayan 750 at EICMA 2026, introducing its first 750cc motorcycle and the largest-capacity model in the Himalayan family. Built around the concept of uncomplicated adventure riding, the new motorcycle brings more performance and touring capability while retaining the rugged character associated with the Himalayan name.
The Himalayan 750 is powered by an all-new 743cc air/oil-cooled, SOHC parallel-twin engine producing 55PS (40.5kW) at 7,000rpm and 63Nm of torque at 5,000rpm. Royal Enfield says 90% of its peak torque is available from as low as 3,500rpm, highlighting its focus on accessible performance for both highway riding and challenging terrain.
The engine is paired with a six-speed gearbox and wet multi-plate clutch. With a 17.8-litre fuel tank, the Himalayan 750 is designed to support longer journeys with fewer fuel stops.
A New Chassis and Showa Suspension
The Himalayan 750 uses a box-section spine frame with pressed steel outriggers, with the engine acting as a stressed member. Its chassis geometry and mass distribution are designed to balance stability and agility across different riding conditions.
Suspension is handled by 43mm Showa USD cartridge-type front forks offering 190mm of travel. The front suspension is adjustable for preload, compression and rebound.
At the rear, a Showa linkage-type monoshock provides 175mm of travel, with preload and rebound adjustment. The rear shock also features a remote preload adjuster, allowing riders to accommodate different loads more conveniently.
The motorcycle gets a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel setup, with cast-alloy or spoked wheel options. Both configurations are designed for tubeless tyres, measuring 110/80 R19 at the front and 150/70 R17 at the rear.
Braking is handled by twin 280mm floating discs at the front, paired with two-piston floating calipers, while the rear gets a 255mm disc with a two-piston caliper.
Safety equipment includes dual-channel ABS, which can be switched off at the rear, cornering ABS, lean-sensitive traction control and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
Modern Rider Aids and Google Maps Navigation
Despite its relatively straightforward adventure motorcycle philosophy, the Himalayan 750 gets a comprehensive electronics package.
The motorcycle features five riding modes that adjust ABS and traction control intervention according to weather and terrain. Cruise control is also included, making the bike better suited to long highway stretches.
Instrumentation comes in the form of a circular 4-inch TFT display known as the Tripper Dash. It integrates full-screen Google Maps navigation, along with contextual alerts and call-related functions.
The motorcycle also features Bluetooth and Wi-Fi smartphone connectivity, Wingman 2.0 with 4G and GPS connectivity, as well as dual Type-C charging ports rated at 27W and 10W.
Lighting is fully LED, with a 7-inch LED headlight and self-cancelling turn indicators.
Himalayan 750 Dimensions and Practicality
The Himalayan 750 measures 2,185mm in length, 840mm in width and 1,450mm in height, with a wheelbase of 1,522mm.
Its seat height is 815mm, while ground clearance stands at 205mm. Kerb weight is listed at 224kg, including 90% fuel and oil, with a payload capacity of 194kg.
These figures position the Himalayan 750 as a substantial adventure touring motorcycle, with its 19-inch front wheel and 17-inch rear wheel setup suggesting a balance between road-focused touring and moderate off-road capability.
Five Colours Available
Royal Enfield’s official product page lists five colour options for the Himalayan 750:
- Antarctic Silver
- Siberia White
- Viking Bronze
- Aztec Green
- Tectonic Black
The motorcycle is positioned as a long-distance adventure tourer, with Royal Enfield emphasising its ability to cover extended journeys across countries and continents.
Malaysia Launch Still Unconfirmed
Royal Enfield has yet to announce Malaysian pricing or local launch details for the Himalayan 750.
With its larger parallel-twin engine, upgraded Showa suspension, cornering ABS, cruise control and modern navigation system, the Himalayan 750 represents a significant step up from the Himalayan 450.
The new model could appeal to riders looking for a more touring-oriented adventure motorcycle without moving into the higher-powered and more technologically complex premium adventure segment.
For now, the Himalayan 750’s arrival in Malaysia remains something to watch, particularly as Royal Enfield continues to expand its middleweight motorcycle lineup.
