The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750, which is being watched with great enthusiasm by adventure bike lovers, has recently been spotted in some of the clearest spy shots. These shots show the first look of a test mule, which looks almost production-ready. Although the official launch is still a few years away, probably around 2026, this new model, which is being internally called Project R2G, is generating a lot of curiosity. The recent pictures, which were taken in South Europe, show some important features and improvements that make it different from the existing Himalayan lineup.
Key Features and Design Highlights
Wheel and Suspension Setup:
- The Himalayan 750 gets a 19-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear wheel, both fitted with spoke rims.
- The front suspension consists of adjustable upside-down forks, while the rear will likely get an adjustable monoshock.
- The production model is likely to get adjustable suspension, although this is not yet confirmed.
Braking System:
- As a major upgrade, the Himalayan 750 will get a twin-disc front brake setup, a first for Royal Enfield. This is expected to offer better stopping power, similar to the braking system seen on the next-gen Interceptor test mule.
Engine and Power:
- The Himalayan 750 is likely to get a 750cc twin-cylinder engine, which will be an upgrade over the existing 650cc unit.
- The increase in engine displacement is expected to increase the power output by 5-7bhp, over the current 650cc engine that produces 47bhp and 52Nm of torque. The new engine is expected to produce around 52-54bhp of power.
Design and Aesthetics:
- While the design of the Himalayan 750 still retains the rugged and adventure-ready look that is the hallmark of the Himalayan series, it adopts a more refined and sporty touring look.
- The bike will get subtle fairings near the fuel tank and headlight, replacing the traditional jerrycan holders.
- A larger windscreen and stronger bash plate further enhance the touring and off-roading capabilities of the bike.
Technological Upgrades:
- Over the current Himalayan 450, the Himalayan 750 is expected to get more advanced features such as a larger TFT screen and full LED lighting, which will enhance both its functionality and aesthetics.
Production and Launch
The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 is expected to be launched in 2026, and is likely to become the flagship model of the Himalayan series. A blend of the latest technology and robust design will make the Himalayan 750 appealing to both adventure and touring riders, further strengthening Royal Enfield’s position in the adventure touring segment.
As its official unveiling is awaited, the Himalayan 750 promises to make a powerful entry in the adventure bike market.
