Royal Enfield has dropped the official images of the Himalayan 750, alongside the Him-E, being extensively tested up in the mountains. Here are all the things we can deduce.
- Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 gets a dual-disc setup
- Features a single-side upswept exhaust
- Himalayan Electric is currently being used as an EV test bed
Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 and Electric Himalayan images
The Himalayan 750 features a half-fairing and LED headlight
This marks the first time the brand itself has released images of the motorcycle. Alongside the Himalayan 750, the Him-E electric bike was also seen. However currently, the Him-E is only being used as a test bed for future electric motorcycles.
The Himalayan 750 features a half-fairing with a familiar LED headlight, similar to the one seen on Royal Enfield’s current lineup. The design is consistent with the test mules spotted overseas earlier this year. It was later seen undergoing testing in India, and now, these official images confirm that the launch of the Himalayan 750 is closer than ever.
Notable additions on Himalayan 750 include new trapezoidal mirrors, dual front disc brakes, and a 19/17-inch (F/R) spoked wheel setup. It also gets a significantly taller windscreen and the same TFT dash as the Himalayan 450, mounted in a tower-style layout reminiscent of the KTM 390 Adventure. The motorcycle features a single upswept exhaust, although the routing appears to differ from that of the Bear 650. The fuel-tank seems substantially larger when compared to the Himalayan 450. In general, the Himalayan 750 will have more substantial bodywork and wind protection compared to the Himalayan 450 and it will have more of a traditional ADV design.

The Himalayan 750 is expected to be powered by a larger engine that will be 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.
The Him-E prototype, seen alongside the 750, was equipped with knobby tyres, USD fork finished in gold, and a single petal disc brake paired with a radially mounted brake master cylinder. However, Royal Enfield has previously suggested that this electric prototype is not meant for near term production but is serving as an EV development platform.

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.
