We all know that Royal Enfield tests any new bike thoroughly before launching it. And when it comes to the Himalayan 450’s elder brother, the Himalayan 750, the testing becomes even more interesting. A new test model that surfaced recently has surprised all bike enthusiasts. Because this time the bike was seen riding on stylish alloy wheels instead of its traditional spoke wheels! Let’s take a detailed look at this new update.

Variants
This is a clear indication that Royal Enfield is not going to introduce the Himalayan 750 as just a hardcore adventure bike. The company is probably planning to launch it in different variants. One variant will be dedicated to off-road adventure enthusiasts, which will have high-ground clearance, spoke wheels and aggressive tires.
The other variant may be for those riders who mostly like to take long tours on city roads and highways. This road-biased variant may also have alloy wheels, less aggressive tires and perhaps a slightly different setup that promotes comfort and stability.
Features
Let us tell you that not only the wheels have changed in this new test model. But the mirrors of the bike also look different from the classic round design of Royal Enfield. This can be a good news, because sometimes it becomes a bit difficult to adjust the mirrors of the existing models and keep them tight in one place.
The new mirrors look more modern and user-friendly. Apart from this, the bike has a round TFT dashboard similar to the Himalayan 450, which is full of features. The design of the bike’s fairing looks somewhat like the Husqvarna Norden 901, which gives it a bold and muscular look.
Engine
Now let’s talk about the most important thing, i.e. the engine of this bike. While the Himalayan 450 offers great performance with its 450cc single-cylinder engine. But the 750, as the name suggests, will be a step ahead. It is believed that this bike will be equipped with a bigger engine based on Royal Enfield’s famous 650cc parallel-twin engine platform.
This engine will be air/oil-cooled. Currently, the 650cc engine in its most advanced form produces 47hp power and 56.5Nm torque. In the Himalayan 750, this engine will be made even more powerful. Where we can easily expect that the power and torque figures can go beyond 55hp and 60Nm. This power will make it a strong contender not only on Indian roads, but also in the international market.
Launch
Looking at the speed at which this testing is going on, it seems that Royal Enfield is going to launch this bike in the market soon. At the same time, no official timeline has been revealed by the company yet. It is difficult to guess whether this bike will be seen by the end of this year or early next year. One thing is certain, whenever this bike is launched, it will bring a new storm in the Indian biking market and will change the adventure segment forever.
