If you have spent long highway stretches wringing out a single-cylinder adventure bike, Royal Enfield just delivered the machine you have been waiting for. The manufacturer rolled out four new motorcycles at EICMA 2026, anchored by its most ambitious displacement jump yet: the Himalayan 750. Fitted with a 743cc air- and oil-cooled parallel-twin, the bike marks a deliberate push into genuine middleweight touring territory for Indian riders seeking highway passing power without European import price tags.
Power comes in at 54.25 bhp at 7,000 rpm, paired with 63 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm. Those numbers matter on the road. Royal Enfield engineered the motor so that 90 percent of that torque lands at 3,500 rpm, meaning riders can lug gear and roll on throttle without frantic downshifts on steep mountain gradients. A six-speed gearbox channels that output through an assist and slipper clutch. The chassis discards the old architecture for a box-section spine frame, damped by a 43mm Showa upside-down fork delivering 190mm of travel up front and a Showa monoshock offering 175mm at the rear. Ground clearance sits at an obstacle-clearing 205mm, while the seat height remains accessible at 815mm.
The bike carries serious equipment for long cross-country hauls. Fuel goes into a 17.8-litre tank. Kerb weight hits 224 kg—a heavy figure in city crawls, but one that plants the machine firmly in highway crosswinds. Braking duties rely on twin 280mm front discs governed by an IMU-based cornering ABS setup alongside switchable traction control. A four-inch TFT screen manages five distinct riding modes, cruise control, and tyre pressure monitoring. In the UK, Royal Enfield priced the Himalayan 750 at £6,999 (roughly ₹8.72 lakh). For domestic buyers, local assembly is expected to pull the India sticker down to ₹4.5 lakh to ₹5 lakh.
Royal Enfield flanked the adventure tourer with an uprated sibling: the Continental GT 750. Billed as the brand's most powerful production model to date, it runs a tuned variant of the 743cc engine across both faired and unfaired versions. The faired trim drops the clip-on handlebars lower for an aggressive, crouched track tuck, alongside a twin-pod TFT display styled after classic analogue gauges. Three colorways broke cover—Red Line, TT Blue, and Master Clean—with India pricing projected between ₹3.8 lakh and ₹3.9 lakh.
Further down the pipeline sits the Flying Flea S6 electric scrambler, outfitted with wire-spoke rims, long-stroke suspension, six riding modes, and a 3.5-inch TFT console ahead of a summer 2027 rollout. Royal Enfield also showed the Shotgun 650 'Son of a Gun', a bespoke build cooked up with Deus Ex Machina featuring a hand-finished red, cream, and gold livery over a tan leather saddle. Just 100 units will exist worldwide in 2027.
But Indian buyers will not have to wait years for the main event. Royal Enfield will showcase the Himalayan 750 on home soil at Motoverse between November 26 and 28, where official domestic booking dates and exact showroom pricing will be formalized.
