Royal Enfield is preparing to launch a new 750cc range of motorcycles. The first of these motorcycles will be the Continental GT 750 semi-faired cafe racer motorcycle or the Himalayan 750 ADV motorcycle. Both of them have been seen many times during testing.
Himalayan 750 is one of the most awaited motorcycles in India and motorcycle lovers are eagerly waiting to buy it. Ahead of the formal launch, the Himalayan 750 has been spied again and the latest spy shots show the ergonomics of the rider on this motorcycle. let’s take a closer look.
Production-ready Himalayan 750 spied
At the 2025 EICMA show in Milan, Royal Enfield showcased their upcoming Himalayan 750 motorcycle, which will be the first in their long lineup of 750cc motorcycles. Speculations suggest that Royal Enfield will launch the Himalayan 750 at the 2026 EICMA show or around the same time, with a global launch indicated first, followed by an India launch.
In the latest spy shots, we can see the test rider riding the motorcycle in a standing position. This is called saddling and is common practice with riders over long distances to reduce fatigue on most bikes. Thus shows what enthusiasts can expect where saddle ergonomics are concerned. This is an important feature for the Himalayan 750 as it will be a tourer and off-roader.
The foot pegs appear to be placed slightly backwards, which may strike the right balance between comfort and sporty ride characteristics. The rider appears to be slightly taller than the average Indian height. He appears to be in a comfortable posture while saddling. His hands seem to be gripping the handlebar without much effort.
Not all motorcycles support saddling. The footpeg should be designed in such a way that it does not exert concentrated pressure on the rider’s seat. In ADVs, off-roaders and tourers, OEMs offer flat foot pegs, which allow saddling. The upcoming Himalayan 750 will also come with adjustable suspension at the front and rear. There’s also a remote dial to set the rear suspension.
what to expect?
It has USD front forks and mono-sock at the rear, dual disc brake setup at the front and single for the rear, Royal Enfield’s tripper dash TFT instrument cluster, Google Maps, music controls, LED lighting and more. The main attraction is the new 750cc engine, which is a parallel-twin unit based on the 650cc unit.
Performance metrics have not been revealed yet, but estimates suggest around 55 PS to 60 PS and 60 Nm to 65 Nm of peak torque. The 6-speed gearbox may be slightly re-tuned to fit the weight and character of the Himalayan 750.
