Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 Prototype Set for India Unveil at Motoverse 2025
Motorcycle enthusiasts in India are in for a treat as Royal Enfield prepares to display its upcoming flagship adventure motorcycle on home soil. The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 prototype is scheduled to be unveiled in India for the first time at Motoverse 2025. This follows the motorcycle’s global debut earlier this month at the EICMA 2025 exhibition in Milan.
The display model at Motoverse will provide Indian riders with a closer look at the brand’s biggest step forward in the adventure touring segment.
A New 750cc Powerhouse
The highlight of the upcoming motorcycle is its powertrain. Moving away from the existing 650cc platform, the Himalayan 750 will be the first motorcycle built on a new 750cc platform. It will be powered by a larger 750cc, parallel-twin engine.
While official performance numbers remain under wraps, estimates suggest the engine will produce approximately 53-55bhp and nearly 65-70Nm of peak torque. This positioning places the Himalayan 750 above the current Himalayan 450, allowing it to compete aggressively with larger middleweight rivals in the global market.
Chassis and Hardware Upgrades
The prototype showcased at EICMA revealed significant changes to the motorcycle’s underpinnings. The bike features a newly developed chassis complete with a redesigned headstock and a different subframe.
Suspension duties are handled by adjustable Upside Down (USD) front forks and a linked monoshock at the rear. To manage the increased power and weight, braking duties will be managed by twin discs at the front—a significant upgrade—and a single rotor at the rear. The motorcycle displayed at EICMA was equipped with tubeless wire-spoke wheels, though test mules with alloy wheels have also been spotted previously.
Design and Launch Timeline
The Himalayan 750 retains a rugged, retro-ADV aesthetic. Key design elements include a semi-fairing, a large fuel tank, a raised tail section, and an upswept exhaust, giving it a tall and commanding stance.
It is important to note that the unit appearing at Motoverse 2025 is still a test prototype. Enthusiasts waiting to buy the motorcycle will have to wait a while longer. Royal Enfield has confirmed that more details will be revealed at EICMA 2026, with the production-spec launch likely scheduled for late 2026 or early 2027.
