Royal Enfield has finally put a date on the bike its fans have been waiting for all year. The Himalayan 750 will make its India debut at the Royal Enfield Motoverse festival in Goa on November 27, and bookings will open the same day. The price will be announced on stage at the event, but reports put the expected starting price at around Rs 3.79 lakh, with the top variant likely to go up to Rs 4.73 lakh.
The confirmation, reported on November 12, ends weeks of guessing that followed the bike’s global unveiling at EICMA in Milan on November 3. Motoverse runs from November 27 to 29 in Goa, and the Himalayan 750 will be the headline act. For Royal Enfield, this is a big step: the largest and most serious adventure motorcycle the Indian brand has ever built.
India launch on November 27, bookings open the same day
Royal Enfield will reveal the India price of the Himalayan 750 at Motoverse 2026 on November 27. Customers will be able to book the bike from the same day, with deliveries to follow. The company has not yet confirmed variant-wise pricing or a delivery timeline, and those details should come out at the event itself.
The expected price range doing the rounds is Rs 3.79 lakh to Rs 4.73 lakh, ex-showroom, though some reports estimate a slightly higher band of Rs 4.38 lakh to Rs 4.48 lakh. Either way, the Himalayan 750 will sit well above the Himalayan 450 and go up against premium mid-weight adventure bikes such as the BMW F 450 GS, priced at Rs 5.90 lakh, and the KTM 390 Adventure.
A new 743cc twin-cylinder engine
The heart of the Himalayan 750 is a brand new 743cc parallel-twin engine, a first for the Himalayan family. The Himalayan 450 runs a single-cylinder motor, so the twin is a major jump in refinement and performance. The engine makes 55 hp at 7,000 rpm and 63 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm, and Royal Enfield says 90 percent of the torque is available at just 3,500 rpm.
That low-end and mid-range focus is deliberate. Adventure riding is as much about crawling over rocks and climbing mountain passes as it is about highway cruising, and strong torque low down means fewer gear changes on rough ground. The engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and a 2-in-1 silencer setup.
Built for the trail, not just the road
The hardware list reads like a proper adventure bike. Up front are 43mm Showa upside-down forks that are fully adjustable, with a Showa monoshock at the rear. Braking is handled by dual discs at the front, a first for a Royal Enfield, plus a rear disc and switchable dual-channel ABS, so riders can turn the ABS off at the rear for loose surfaces.
The bike rolls on a 19-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear, with a choice of alloy wheels or tubeless spoke wheels. Ground clearance is 205mm, the fuel tank holds 17.8 litres, seat height is 815mm and the kerb weight is 224kg. Five riding modes are on offer: Road, Road Sport, Rain, Trail and Custom. The cockpit gets a 4-inch circular TFT display with Bluetooth, navigation and phone controls, plus cruise control, traction control, a tyre pressure monitoring system and two Type-C USB ports, one with 27W fast charging. It comes in five colours: Antarctic Silver, Siberia White, Viking Bronze, Aztec Green and Tectonic Black.
What it means for Royal Enfield and its rivals
The Himalayan 750 matters because it is Royal Enfield’s first twin-cylinder adventure bike, and it arrives at a time when the premium adventure segment in India is heating up. BMW has just launched the F 450 GS, and Indian buyers are spending more on big bikes than ever before. If Royal Enfield prices the Himalayan 750 close to the reported Rs 3.79 lakh starting point, it will undercut most of its rivals by a wide margin.
The real test will be the ride itself, and whether the 224kg weight and the new engine deliver on the trail as well as they promise on paper. That answer will come once the first test rides begin after the Motoverse launch. For now, Royal Enfield fans have a date to mark: November 27, Goa.
