Royal Enfield has pulled the covers off the long-awaited Himalayan 750 adventure tourer, and it arrives with a few tricks up its sleeve.
Slotting into the range as the largest and most advanced Enfield model to date, the all-new Himalayan 750 was unveiled to media in Sicily ahead of its official reveal at EICMA.
Two-time Dakar Rally champion Toby Price was on hand to showcase the bike to media, with the brand hinting at a potential future ambassador role for the Australian off-road legend.
First teased at EICMA last year, the new Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 builds on the success of the 650 Twins platform and the Himalayan 450. A second 750 model was also revealed at EICMA in the form of the Continental GT 750, but Royal Enfield told bikesales that the new 750 platform is not designed to replace the 650 Twins platform and will instead sit alongside it.

The Himalayan 750 is powered by an upgraded version of the parallel-twin engine found in the brand's 650 Twins models, but capacity increases to 743cc, allowing for more power and torque, with outputs of 54hp and 63Nm respectively.
Royal Enfield claims the engine is 90 per cent new and is the biggest engine the brand has produced to date. It will also be the first Royal Enfield model without LAMS approval, as it exceeds the maximum capacity limit.

A new steel box-section spine frame houses the engine, while the bike rolls on 19- and 17-inch wheels. Both tubeless spoked and cast-alloy wheels will be available, each offering a different tyre. The spoked wheels will be clad in Vredestein adventure tyres, while the cast alloy wheels will have CEAT tyers that were developed specifically for this bike by Royal Enfield.
The Himalayan 750 also debuts a number of premium features for Royal Enfield, including a six-axis IMU, cornering ABS, cornering traction control, tyre pressure monitoring and cruise control. It also comes with five ride modes, including a custom mode, while the controls, TFT display and connectivity functionality have all been refined.
Also new is fully adjustable Showa suspension, which offers 190mm and 175mm of travel front and rear, respectively. Adjustments are made via hand-operated clickers and a remote preload adjuster.

Braking is handled by hydraulic disc brakes, with dual 280mm discs at the front and a 255mm disc at the rear.
Royal Enfield claims the bike weighs in at 223kg with 90 per cent fuel and oil, including the centre stand, while fuel capacity sits at 17.8L.
Five colour options will be available from launch, including Tectonic Black, Aztec Green, Siberia White, Viking Bronze and Antarctic Silver. The Antarctic Silver variant will act as the flagship and will come standard with accessories, including luggage and handguards.

Australian pricing and arrival dates are yet to be announced, but the Himalayan 750 will almost certainly become the flagship model in the brand's range. The Super Meteor 650 is currently the most expensive model, at $11,990 ride away.
bikesales has tested the new Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 and will publish a full review on the website in the coming weeks.
