Royal Enfield Himalayan 750
The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 is real, it’s coming soon, and yes, it’s stirring up a lot of chatter among the adventure biking crowd. If you’ve ever stared longingly at mountains or dreamed of skipping city potholes for wild trails, this bike just might call your name. After months of spotting test bikes around Chennai, rumor has it that a few local mechanics are now secret Himalayan 750 fanboys. The buzz is confident but not over-the-top. Forget the formulaic, “here are all the features” approach: this is about the vibe, and the Himalayan 750 feels both familiar and kind of aspirational.
Firing up a parallel-twin, somewhere in the 750cc range with a hearty power number (think 55-58 HP, and enough torque to make you grin even on a Monday morning), riding the Himalayan 750 should feel plush and purposeful. Royal Enfield’s engineers have thrown in proper adventure bits: long-travel suspension, spoked wheels, a remote reservoir for the rear shock, and even a high-mount exhaust for those puddle-wading moments. Riders will notice comfortable seats, the mandatory saree guard, and a big, round LED headlamp that’s more cheerful than aggressive. Sometimes, the best part is those little design quirks, like the faired tank and TFT dash that’s modern without feeling pushy. Personally, I love bikes that let you be serious and silly, in turns.

The Himalayan 750 is expected to launch around August 2026, with an ex-showroom tag circling ₹4,00,000–₹4,50,000 depending on the variant and city. Is it steep? Well, some think so, some say fair. For context: the smaller Himalayan 450 sits at ₹3.05 lakh, while similarly specced international rivals can run even higher. The extra comfort and serious highway cred just might make that price tag hurt a little less. Experienced riders I’ve spoken to see it as a genuine upgrade. “Long rides are going to be fun for a change,” claimed one old hand who still hasn’t forgiven his 2018 Himalayan for leaving him stranded in the rain. The real test will be how this new bike handles day-to-day Indian riding: heat, traffic, hills, and hurried chai stops. No matter the final price, at least you know Royal Enfield’s finally got something that’s not just made for adventure in theory, but actually lives up to it in practice.
