Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 Launch Sooner Than Expected- Exec Reveals New Details
Royal Enfield is working on the development of the Himalayan 750; it's no secret. Until now, the motorcycle has been spotted testing on multiple occasions and has even been taken to Ladakh by top officials of the brand. After the revelation, as many might have already suspected, the motorcycle is already in its final stages of development and might move ahead to the production line soon. Now, the aforementioned speculation has been confirmed by Royal Enfield's Global Head of Product Strategy and Industrial Design, Mark Wells, in an interaction with MotorcycleNews. "We're well into the process. I'm not giving you a date, but it's (the prototype on test in the Himalayas) more than an early prototype. We're moving towards production," the website quoted Wells.

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.

Royal Enfield CEO Tests Upcoming Himalayan 750 And Himalayan EV; Pics
Royal Enfield has been working on expanding its motorcycle lineup with the addition of new products. It's no secret, two new models on the list are the Himalayan 750 and the Himalayan Electric (also known as the HIM-E). Until now, both of these motorcycles have only been seen in the spy shots. Now, Royal Enfield has officially teased these motorcycles while revealing the ongoing tests in the Himalayan range. It is to be noted that these units seem to be very close to their production form, and are being tested by top bosses at RE, including CEO B. Govindarajan. Based on the pictures, it seems like the Royal Enfield team is leaving no stones unturned, putting the motorcycles through the tough off-road test at the Khardung La Pass in Ladakh. While the manufacturer shared the pictures of both motorcycles on social media, they still did not reveal official names or any details of the products. Furthermore, most of the design details of both units have also been kept under the veil as the units were covered in camouflage. The bigger Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 will likely have a 750 cc engine, which is expected to put out around 50-55 hp of power, while the torque rating will also see a bump. Meanwhile, the design language will be very similar to the 450 cc version with changes in the dimensions and a few details. It is also expected to have a better suspension setup with more travel. They are also likely to offer adjustability. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Royal Enfield (@royalenfield) Meanwhile, the Royal Enfield Himalayan Electric (HIM-E) is likely to be much closer to its 450 cc ICE cousin. Although the design will have its differences because of the change in the powertrain. Furthermore, we can expect it to be a bit more sophisticated in terms of features. All of this will likely result in a bigger number on the price tag.
