While the launch timeline of the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 is still unknown, Mark Wells shared a few other details. He also confirmed that the bigger model will be on sale alongside the existing Himalayan 450. Additionally, the brand does not have any plans to make any significant changes to the single-cylinder motorcycle.
Steve Everitt, Lead Designer at Royal Enfield, confirmed to Motorcyclenews that the bike will be more powerful than other models of the brand, and the engine capacity of the motorcycle will be 100 cc more. It will have a larger bore and stroke compared to the 650s.
The report also revealed that the bike will still have a 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, as seen in the spy shots. It will also have a 19-inch front wheel to go with the setup.
While the development of the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 is in full swing, the brand is also working on the development of multiple other models. The list includes more bikes based on the 750 cc platform, along with electric motorcycles under the new sub-brand Flying Flea.

Shared on social media, the teaser clip had the caption saying, "The road can tell you things no blueprint ever will. We bring you Ride & Tested - where we put FF.C6 to the test. Incline Test dropping soon." It is to be noted that this is one of the initial teasers of the production version of the bike, following the showcase of the prototype of the C6. Apart from that, the EV has been spotted testing multiple times. The test mule spotted earlier provided a preview of the machine's functionality, highlighting circular LED lights that show the brand's fusion of classic and contemporary designs. True to its roots, the motorcycle features a sleek frame with an aluminum chassis and girder forks, reminiscent of classic models.

More Change In New Zealand As Selector Sam Wells Steps Down Months After Head Coachs Departure; Heres Why
The changing of the guard in New Zealand men's cricket has continued as selector Sam Wells will step down from his role in order to concentrate on his 'work commitments'. The 41-year-old Wells has filled the crucial selection position for the Kiwis' men's side for almost two years and has overseen a transition period for the team that has seen long-time coach Gary Stead depart and former skipper Tim Southee retire from Test cricket. "Wells, a dispute resolution specialist, was made partner of Dunedin law firm Gallaway Cook Allan late last year, a responsibility that has prompted him to step down from the selection position he's filled since September 2023," the New Zealand Cricket (NZC) said in statement on Friday. During his tenure, Wells saw New Zealand register a historic 3-0 Test victory over India away from home and reach the final of the Champions Trophy earlier this year. "Serving as selection manager for the Black Caps over the past two years has been a tremendous privilege. I'm deeply grateful to NZC for the opportunity to contribute to the national side," Wells said. "It's been an honour to work alongside the dedicated coaches, talented players, and committed support staff around New Zealand," he added. Wells, a former first-class player himself, said stepping down wasn't an easy decision to make, given his keen interest in cricket generally and, more specifically, the fortunes of the Black Caps. "While I've thoroughly enjoyed my time in the role, I've made the difficult decision to step down in order to prioritise my personal and professional commitments outside of cricket," he said. "I remain a proud supporter of the BLACKCAPS and will continue to cheer the team on as they build toward future success," he added. Meanwhile, NZC chief executive Scott Weenink said he was sad to see Wells depart but understood and respected his reasoning. "Sam's been instrumental in upholding the BLACKCAPS' high standards, guiding the team through transitions as key players have moved on and new talent has stepped up. He brought a true sense of rigour to the position and was exceptionally thorough in his approach to it," said Weenink. "His keen sense of analysis and ability to challenge accepted or popular narratives meant he offered a valuable perspective. I think that served us well and, while we're disappointed to be losing Sam, we're very grateful for the contribution he made," he added.
