Royal Enfield Himalayan 750: Touring Range, Power & Price Hopes
I’ve been following the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 closely, and if you care about long rides and real value, you probably have too. In this post I’ll walk you through what we know right now about the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 — from engine and power estimates to likely touring range and the price band many riders hope for.
What we know so far
Royal Enfield has been teasing the Himalayan 750 for months. Media reports point to a global reveal around late 2025 and an India launch soon after. While Royal Enfield hasn’t released a full spec sheet yet, several consistent reports give us a clear picture. Most outlets say the bike uses a new 750 cc parallel-twin based on RE’s 650 platform. The engine is expected to be a conservative air-/oil-cooled twin rather than a high-revving liquid-cooled unit.
So far, the pattern is clear: the company is aiming for a practical, touring-focused middleweight. The prototype shots show USD forks, a rear monoshock, stronger brakes, and a wheel setup that combines a 19″ front with a 17″ rear — all signs this is built to go far and handle luggage well.
Power and torque: what to expect
I know riders want numbers. From the best reports I’ve seen, power estimates for the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 sit around 50–55 bhp (≈55 PS) with torque near 60 Nm. That would make it one of the most powerful conventional internal-combustion Royal Enfields to date.
Why those numbers matter: they suggest RE is aiming for a strong, tractable mid-range rather than peak horsepower. In everyday touring, that’s often more useful. A steady 50–55 bhp combined with 60 Nm of torque means you get easy overtakes on two-lane roads and confident performance even when you’re carrying luggage or riding two-up.
To give a concrete comparison: many popular middleweight ADVs from Japan/Europe in the same bracket produce anywhere from 60–80 bhp. The Himalayan 750’s focus looks to be on torque delivery and riding ease for long distances, rather than chasing peak performance figures.
Touring range and fuel economy estimates
Range is one of the most talked-about points for a touring bike. Reports vary on official tank size for the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750, but most stories put it between 15 L and 20 L. Real-world fuel economy estimates cluster around 25–30 km/L, depending on load, speed, and tuning.
That math gives us an expected touring range of roughly 350–500 km per tank. Here’s a simple table that lays out estimated ranges from different tank sizes and mileages so you can see how it adds up.
| Tank Size (L) | Fuel Economy (km/L) | Estimated Range (km) |
|---|---|---|
| 15 L | 25 km/L | 375 km |
| 15 L | 30 km/L | 450 km |
| 20 L | 25 km/L | 500 km |
| 20 L | 30 km/L | 600 km |
These are estimates, not factory numbers. But they show the practical reality: even at the conservative end, the Himalayan 750 should let you do long day rides or multi-day touring stretches without constant fill-ups. If you’re planning real overland work, it’s the kind of range that matters.
Price hopes and market positioning
Price is where Royal Enfield could make a big difference. Most reports suggest RE wants to price the Himalayan 750 aggressively in India to undercut imported middleweight ADVs. The commonly quoted ex-showroom target range is about ₹4.0–5.5 lakh, with many outlets centering their hopes around ₹4.0–4.5 lakh for base models.
Why that matters: if Royal Enfield can deliver a 750-class touring bike with 50–55 bhp, modern electronics, and touring hardware for mid-₹4 lakh territory, it will be a very strong value play. Riders often trade peak power for a usable torque curve and a lower price — and many buyers in India prioritize value and real-world usability over outright specs.
Electronics, riding aids and touring hardware
Reports suggest the Himalayan 750 will bring a modern electronics package. Expect a TFT cluster with smartphone navigation, ride modes, switchable traction/ABS settings, and possibly cruise control. These are features we now expect on touring bikes, and they make long rides easier and safer.
On the hardware side, spy photos show things I like to see for touring: USD forks, a rear monoshock, stronger brakes (twin-front discs) and a wheel/tire setup that balances on-road stability with light off-road ability. Luggage-friendly ergonomics and mounting points also look to be part of the design — which tells me Royal Enfield is serious about long-distance use.
Example case: imagine covering 450 km on a single tank at a steady 80–100 km/h with a rider and luggage. Cruise control and good wind protection change the rider experience dramatically. That’s the kind of practical benefit these electronics bring.
Key uncertainties and what to watch
There are still important unknowns. Royal Enfield hasn’t confirmed the final horsepower, torque, exact tank size, weight, or cooling method. Media reports vary on whether it will be strictly air-/oil-cooled or use some additional cooling measures. Final India pricing is also unconfirmed and could swing depending on trim, features, and taxes.
If you want to track this bike, watch for the official reveal around late 2025 and the India launch in late 2025/early 2026. The official spec sheet will answer most of the questions we’ve been estimating so far.
Final Thoughts
To sum up, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 looks like a well-targeted touring machine. Based on current reporting, expect roughly 50–55 bhp, around 60 Nm of torque, a fuel tank in the 15–20 L range, and a realistic touring range of 350–500 km per tank in typical conditions. Price hopes sit in the ₹4.0–5.5 lakh band for India, with many hoping for the lower end of that range.
I’m excited to see the final specs because this bike could reshape the value middleweight ADV market in India. If you want, I can pull together the latest prototype photos and a short visual breakdown when the tease is official — or set an alert and send you the confirmed spec sheet and price when Royal Enfield publishes it. Which would you prefer?
