The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 has been highly anticipated for the last few months. Now, another video has surfaced online, showcasing the Himalayan 750 with alloy wheels.
- Himalayan 750 spotted with 19/17-inch alloy wheels
- Road-biased variant expected, unlike the Himalayan 450
- Larger engine based on RE’s 650cc parallel-twin
Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 spotted on test again
Signals multiple variants and a step up from the Himalayan 450
The last time we got to see the Himalayan 750 was officially via Royal Enfield itself. In June, Royal Enfield dropped images of the Himalayan 750 and Electric Himalayan, giving us a clear look and confirming that extensive testing is underway. That Himalayan 750 was running on a 21/17-inch (F/R) spoke wheel setup with knobby off-road-biased tyres.
Now, though, another test mule has been spotted, sporting 19/17-inch (F/R) alloy wheels shod in road-biased tyres. This confirms that, unlike the Himalayan 450 that is only available in one form with tubed tyres and a 21/17-inch (F/R) setup, the Himalayan 750 will also have a road-biased variant.
Additionally, the test mule has the same round TFT dash from the Himalayan 450 and gets a fairing reminiscent of the Husqvarna Norden 901. The mirrors, too, seem to be different from the typical RE round shape, which we hope will be better than the current ones that are often tricky to adjust and keep in place.

The Himalayan 750 is expected to be powered by a larger engine based on the 650cc parallel-twin that is air/oil-cooled; currently, this engine, in its highest state of tune, produces 47hp and 56.5Nm, and we only expect these numbers to go considerably higher with the Himalayan 750.
With testing now in full swing, the Himalayan 750’s market debut seems imminent. That said, Royal Enfield has not confirmed a clear timeline, so it remains to be seen exactly when the motorcycle will hit showrooms.
