New Sighting Of Royal Enfield’s 750cc Adventure-Tourer Will Make You Drool

It’s been a year since we first got a glimpse of the all-new middleweight Himalayan 750 in its prototype phase. Royal Enfield has been steadily working on bringing out a production version of the same ever since. We recently saw the big guns at RE test out the upcoming parallel-twin Himalayan in the Himalayas, thereby assuring us that it will be a tough nut to crack. But the most recent spy pictures of the near-production-ready test mules have given us another surprise. There will be not one but two variants of the Himalayan 750; one ready for the trails, and the other a road-focused tourer.

Indicating Of Not One But Two Middleweight Himalayan Models In The Making

The test mules of the much-anticipated Himalayan 750 were previously spotted with spoke wheels. The latest spy pictures from India, however, confirm that there will also be a more road-focused version. The images showcase a Himmy 750 with what looks to be a 19/17-inch front/rear wheel setup. While this is similar to the spoke-wheel layout seen on the 750 mule, which was tested to the limits on the mountains, we expect the road-going version with alloys to be lighter and have a lower unsprung mass.

Catering to its “more” on-road-focused character, we might also see a suspension setup with shorter travel and stiffer springs to offer more stable riding dynamics. This should also translate to a slightly lower seat height. The latest test mule is also likely to feature tubeless tires, which should make it easier to cater to a flat tire than its laced counterparts.

Royal Enfield Is Going All Out On Performance And Hardware

Thanks to a conversation between our friends at MCN and RE’s Lead Designer, Steve Everitt, it has been confirmed that the parallel-twin engine on the upcoming Himalayan will be an upsized version of the now-popular 648 cc twin. He stated that

it’s a development of the engine in the 650. Extremely similar, but it makes more power. It’s tuned for its job – with a larger bore and stroke.

The bored-out and stroked parallel-twin engine should be a 750cc mill that we expect will produce over 50 horsepower and approximately 40 pound-feet of torque. It will utilize the same 6-speed manual gearbox as seen on all 650cc parallel-twin Royal Enfields today. Still, the internals will be notably modified to cater to both touring and off-roading duties.

On the suspension front, the Himmy 750 will get heavy-duty inverted forks up front and a chunky mono-shock at the rear. We expect full adjustability at both ends. Complementing the new spring setup is a brand-new main frame and sub-frame that strike a balance between handling the heft of RE’s heavy parallel-twin and being robust enough to stir up some dirt. It also gets dual disc brakes up front, a first from RE.
