The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 is here, officially. Although it didn’t stay in the limelight for too long as the only 750 on offer, it distinguishes itself from its cafe racer sibling quite well. If you have questions about what to expect when it’s brought here, we can help.
What engine is present on the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750?
Royal Enfield uses a 743cc, air- and oil-cooled parallel-twin engine that makes 55hp at 7,000rpm and 63Nm at 5,000rpm. RE says 90 percent of that torque (~57Nm) will be available from 3,500rpm. The Himalayan 750 idles at 1,300rpm, for perspective.
How heavy is the Himalayan 750?
In Europe and the UK, the declared kerb weight is 223kg, but for India, that goes up by a kilo. We believe most of the additional weight comes from the legally-mandated sareeguard.
Does it use the same TFT display from the Himalayan 450?
They appear identical, but the one on the 750 gets a lot more features. It has a built-in SIM, WiFi and Bluetooth, for example. Which enables all the features available on the 450 and the on-board module should, in theory, make the connectivity a lot more seamless.
What other features does the 750 get over the 450?
Oh, a lot! It’s Royal Enfield’s first motorcycle to be equipped with a 6-axis IMU through which it gets cornering ABS, lean-sensitive traction control, five ride modes (Road, Road Sport, Rain, Trail and Custom), cruise control, immobiliser and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS). All of these are standard features which make the Himalayan the most technologically advanced Royal Enfield, ever.
How many variants does the Himalayan 750 have?
There are three variants and what separates them for the most part is the colour. The base Aztec Green and Tectonic Black get alloy wheels. Above which sit the Siberia White and Viking Bronze which get cross spoke wheels instead. The Antarctic Silver is the highest variant which gets more touring-focused accessories as standard. In the UK, the price difference between the base and the top variants is about GBP 1,700 (Rs 2.15 lakh).
What brakes does the Himalayan 750 have?
Royal Enfield has given the Himalayan 750 dual-front disc brakes, with each disc measuring 280mm in diameter and a two-piston caliper. The rear is a 255mm disc with a two-piston caliper, which is interestingly a smaller unit than the Himalayan 450’s 270mm disc. Although the latter only has a single-piston caliper.
Dual-channel and cornering-sensitive ABS is standard as mentioned earlier, and it is of course, switchable at the rear.
What about the suspension and tyres?
This is perhaps where the hardcore off-roading fans will get disappointed, a bit. Unlike every other Himalayan seen so far, the 750 has a 19-inch front wheel while the rear stays 17-inch. Also for the first time, Royal Enfield is offering a choice between alloy wheels or spoke wheels, with both getting tubeless tyres as standard.
As for the suspension, both continue to be Showa units and the 750’s 43mm USD fork is fully adjustable. The rear linkage monoshock is adjustable for compression and rebound damping. The front fork has 190mm travel and the rear has 175mm of travel, compared to 200mm at both ends on the 450.
What’s the seat height and ground clearance on the Himalayan 750?
The 750 is more accessible at 815mm standard seat height, versus the 450’s 825mm. However, the 450’s seat gets built-in adjustability to raise it to 845mm. The 750’s seat isn’t adjustable at all although RE offers accessory seats that can increase or decrease the seat height. The 450’s seat height too can be dropped to 805mm with an accessory seat.
As for ground clearance, Royal Enfield hasn’t let the lower seat height compromise it too much. The 750 gets 205mm of it, versus 230mm on the 450.
What is the Himalayan 750’s fuel tank capacity?
The 750 gets a 17.8-litre fuel tank, roughly 800ml more than the Himalayan 450’s 17-litre fuel tank.
When will the Himalayan 750 launch in India?
Currently there is no official launch timeline for an Indian launch, but we expect to see the Himalayan 750 get launched at Motoverse 2026, scheduled to happen between November 27 and 29 in Vagator, Goa. If that ends up being the case, we should know the prices then too.
