If you’re hunting for a domestic adventure bike that can rival the likes of the Tenere‑700, the new Himalayan 750 is set to change the game. The 750cc parallel‑twin will churn out 55‑60hp and 60‑65Nm, coupled with a 6‑speed gearbox and a fresh chassis design.
The power bump pushes it ahead of the current Himalayan (650cc, 44hp) and lines up with the KTM 790 (80hp) while still staying cheaper than imported adventure machines. Buyers will see a price that remains competitive, avoiding the hefty import duties that hit foreign models.
In the adventure segment, the Himalayan 750 will compete head‑to‑head with the Yamaha Tenere‑700, KTM 790 Adventure, and the soon‑to‑launch Hero Xpulse 421. The Xpulse will run on a 421cc liquid‑cooled single‑cylinder and is slated for a 2027 India launch, offering another option for those who want a lighter, more nimble ride.
India’s EV mandate and rising duties on imported motorcycles make the Himalayan 750 an attractive choice for buyers looking for a high‑performance adventure bike without the import surcharge.
The bike will be unveiled at EICMA 2026 on Nov 5, with a possible Indian launch early next year. Pre‑orders could open once production starts, so keep an eye on official announcements for the exact launch window and availability by city.
