After much anticipation, fans of Royal Enfield recently got the chance to see the upcoming Himalayan 750 in the flesh at EICMA 2025 in Italy. While everyone hoped that the 750 version of the Himalayan would be confirmed for launch soon, the brand ended up showcasing just the prototype version of the adventure motorcycle. Despite being a prototype, the EICMA Himalayan 750 provides a good indication of what to expect from Royal Enfield's upcoming flagship in terms of design, features, and specifications. Here are five details that have now been confirmed based on the Himalayan 750 prototype visuals.

1. Himalayan 750 Cruise Control:
Apart from its larger dimensions in comparison to the Himalayan 450, the 750
prototype confirmed that Royal Enfield is working on offering the cruise control feature in the new bike. This was confirmed based on the 'cruise' switch that was spotted on the right side switch hub of the handlebar. The function would add convenience for riders on long tours and make it more suitable for highway travel.
2. Adjustable Front Suspension In Himalayan 750:
The other big upgrade spotted on the Himalayan 750 prototype was the adjustable front forks. Considering the 750's use case, we can assume that the long travel USD suspension setup will allow adjustment for both rebound and compression.
3. Himalayan 750 Riding Modes:
The prototype Himalayan 750 also strongly hinted at having multiple riding modes based on the 'M' button that was placed right above the cruise control switch. Multiple riding modes would also be a precursor to the bigger Himalayan, featuring switchable traction control and ABS.
4. Well-Cushioned Split Seats:
Another major highlight of the 750 prototype was the chunky, well-cushioned rider and pillion seats that have a split configuration. These suggest that the bigger Himalayan 750 has been developed keeping touring in mind and would offer much better comfort than other popular ADVs in the market.
5. Bigger Engine And 2x1 Exhaust:
Last but not least, the engine casings and head cover strongly indicate that the bigger Himalayan will feature the tried and tested 650cc parallel-twin engine from Royal Enfield but with a higher displacement of approximately 750cc. The standard 650 spec produces 46.75 hp and 52.3 Nm of torque. The higher stroke 750 version will certainly produce higher output numbers than the 650 in its final form. Moreover, the exhaust unit seen on the prototype was a 2x1 configuration system with an upswept muffler designed for off-road purposes.
Other details from the Himalayan 750 prototype that we can expect to make their way into the production version include a circular TFT screen, the large front fairing and windscreen, spoked tubeless rims, a larger fuel tank and hand guards. While Royal Enfield has not confirmed a launch timeline, he new flagship motorcycle is expected to launch by late 2026.
