Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 Showcased in Brazil With New 750cc Twin and Cruise Control
Royal Enfield has showcased a near-production prototype of the highly anticipated Himalayan 750 in Brazil ahead of its full global unveiling. The showcase marks a monumental shift for the Chennai-based bikemaker as it steps up to challenge the middleweight adventure touring segment.
Positioned as the brand’s flagship adventure motorcycle, the Himalayan 750 builds heavily on Royal Enfield’s touring legacy, introducing a much larger twin-cylinder platform paired with highway-centric electronics like cruise control.
The adventure tourer aims to bridge the gap between mid-tier single-cylinder ADVs and heavy-displacement global adventure machines for long-distance riders.
Royal Enfield Himalayan 750: Design
The Himalayan 750 merges rugged aesthetics from the original Himalayan 411 with modern elements from the Himalayan 450. It features a muscular fuel tank with aggressive side cowls, a tall touring windscreen, split seating, and a high-set tail section.
Up front, it sports an iconic round LED headlight with central RE branding, accompanied by trapezoidal mirrors, an upswept exhaust, and a single-pod circular TFT instrument console with Tripper navigation and smartphone connectivity.
Royal Enfield Himalayan 750: Engine and Its Power
At its core lies a newly developed 750cc air-and-oil-cooled parallel-twin engine, evolved from the proven 650cc platform with a 270-degree firing order.
Paired with a 6-speed gearbox and ride-by-wire throttle, the powerplant is tuned to produce roughly 55 to 60 PS of power and 65 Nm of torque. It provides smooth low-end grunt and effortless highway cruising capacity compared to single-cylinder options.
Royal Enfield Himalayan 750: Suspension
Built on a brand-new tubular chassis with a fixed subframe, the ADV is designed for rugged stability. Suspension duties are handled by long-travel upside-down (USD) front forks with preload adjustability and a rear monoshock setup with remote preload controls.
The motorcycle rolls on a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel setup, offered with tubeless wire-spoke rims and dual-purpose tyres built to handle tough terrains.
Royal Enfield Himalayan 750: Safety Features
Safety and electronic rider aids receive a massive upgrade on the Himalayan 750. It is equipped with twin Bybre disc brakes at the front and a single disc at the rear, coupled with switchable dual-channel ABS.
Additional standard electronic safety features include a traction control system, multiple ride modes (operated via dedicated switchgear), and cruise control to reduce rider fatigue on long stretches.
Royal Enfield Himalayan 750: Price and Rivals
The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 is expected to carry an estimated ex-showroom price tag of Rs 4.50 lakh to Rs 5.00 lakh. Once launched, it will compete directly against middleweight adventure bikes like the Kawasaki Versys 650, Honda Transalp XL750, and Benelli TRK 502.
Will It Make Its Way to India?
Yes, the Himalayan 750 will certainly make its way to the Indian market. Royal Enfield is actively testing the motorcycle on Indian roads. Following its formal debut at global events like EICMA, the flagship ADV is anticipated to officially launch in India by late 2026 or early 2027.
