Royal Enfield announces ‘Himalayan Spirit' off-road program at BigRock Dirt Park
Unlike a typical group ride, Himalayan Spirit is designed as a structured experience to help riders build confidence in off-road environments. The program aims to address common barriers to adventure riding, offering practical training in a controlled setting rather than focusing on speed or competition.

What will the event involve?
Participants will go through two loops: Challenge and Navigation. The Challenge loop includes obstacle courses and technical sections where riders can practice essential off-road techniques. The Navigation loop focuses on route-finding and trail adaptability, skills that are increasingly relevant for long-distance and off-grid travel.
The event also includes a group activity intended to encourage teamwork and build a sense of community among riders. Organisers say this is in line with responsible riding practices that emphasise respect for trails and the environment.
Which motorcycle will participants ride?
The training program is built around the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, which was launched with a new 452cc liquid-cooled Sherpa engine. The bike offers stronger low-rpm torque, a six-speed gearbox, and ride-by-wire throttle control, features intended to improve both on-road and off-road performance. Its design makes it approachable for less experienced riders while still capable of handling more demanding terrain.

Why does it matter?
Adventure and dual-sport motorcycles have grown in popularity in India over the last few years, but off-road riding often remains intimidating for new riders. Initiatives like Himalayan Spirit reflect a growing trend of manufacturers creating training-led experiences to help owners make better use of their motorcycles in real-world conditions.
Event details
The program will take place on September 14, 2025, starting at 8 AM at BigRock Dirt Park, Holali Village, Huthur, Karnataka. Registration is priced at ₹1,500 per participant.

Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 Snapped Testing Yet Again, Launch Soon
Royal Enfield, the Indian motorcycle manufacturer, is gearing up to roll out the Himalayan 750 in the domestic market. The test mule of the upcoming adventure touring motorcycle was recently spotted testing in Leh. The pictures hint at it being the final stage of the production spec model. While the brand has not yet specified the launch date of the bigger Himalayan, reports have it that it may make its first public appearance at the EICMA 2025. The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 will get a 750cc inline-twin engine, expected to be a bored-out version of the 649cc engine seen on the brand's 650cc lineup. The power and torque output are unclear as of now, but it can be expected to produce about 50 hp and 60 Nm, respectively. Besides, pictures of the recently spotted test mule of the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 suggest that it will get a new frame and subframe, standing on USD forks up front and a monoshock on the rear. Also, the test vehicle was spotted with 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels, highlighting that it is the road-biased version of the motorcycle. More details about the larger Himalayan are under cover, but the spy shots revealed that the bike will retain the road-focused design and orientation. The power extracted from the bigger engine will be controlled by a more effective braking system consisting of double discs on the front-end, as seen in the spy shots. While the brand has been tight-lipped about the exact launch timeline of the Himalayan 750, it is expected to break cover at EICMA 2025 and is likely to be launched at the Motoverse 2025, later this year.
