Royal Enfield unveils 750cc engine and new Himalayan 750 and Continental GT 750 models

Royal Enfield, a brand known for its unique style and passion in the motorcycle world, presented a wide range of new models at the EICMA 2026 exhibition, which began in Milan, Italy. The company commemorates its 125-year journey, preserving its heritage while expanding its ambitions.

At the EICMA show, the company demonstrated various new motorcycles, including the powerful Himalayan 750, Continental GT 750, and the Flying Flea S6 Scrambler model, which is a gift for both custom bike enthusiasts and the general public. Royal Enfield used its 125th anniversary to present a new strategy and an updated product lineup to the world.

Now, in addition to traditional motorcycles, the company is focusing on models with larger engines, electric mobility, and the culture of custom motorcycles.

The centerpiece of the exhibition was the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750. This is the company's first model with a 750cc engine, specifically designed for long-distance travel and tackling challenging routes. Previously, the company popularized motorcycling for enthusiasts with the Himalayan 411 about ten years ago, and now the Himalayan 750 elevates this segment to a new level.

This model is equipped with a new 743cc parallel-twin air and oil-cooled engine. It is capable of generating 63 Nm of torque at 5000 rpm. Notably, 90 percent of this torque, or about 56.7 Nm, is achieved at only 3500 rpm, promising better power in difficult conditions and various riding modes.

The Himalayan 750 features five riding modes, a 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), ABS, lean-sensitive traction control, and cruise control. It has a 19-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear wheel, both tubeless. The company will offer it with both cast and spoked wheel options. To ensure comfortable long journeys, it includes an adjustable windscreen, separate seats for the rider and passenger, and a load capacity of 195 kg. The motorcycle is designed for those who love traveling on all types of roads, from mountains to long highways.

The next presentation was the Continental GT 750, which is currently the most powerful production motorcycle model in the brand's lineup. It is a sportier version of the company's famous cafe racer series. It retains the signature style of older GT models but emphasizes a more modern design and increased performance.

The Continental GT 750 uses an advanced version of the new 743cc twin-cylinder engine found in the Himalayan 750. The company claims that the Continental GT 750 will be the most high-performance production motorcycle model, offering improved components, premium materials, and numerous modifications to enhance efficiency.

The model is equipped with a special hybrid dual-panel TFT display, which combines retro design with modern technology. It will be presented in two configurations: a standard model with an open fairing and a faired version. In the faired model, the handlebars are positioned lower, providing the rider with a sportier posture. Royal Enfield offers it in three color schemes: Red Line, TT Blue, and Master Clean.

Royal Enfield also introduced the new S6 Scrambler under its electric mobility brand, Flying Flea. This model promotes the concept of the company's City+ electric mobility, showing that electric motorcycles can be used not only for city rides but also for adventures.

The Flying Flea S6 is developed on the basis of the company's light and flexible C6 platform. It is equipped with a high-power electric motor and features an enduro-style seat, giving it a scrambler look. According to the company, it can be easily used in city traffic as well as on rough roads.

The electric motorcycle is equipped with a round touch display running Fleaware.OS, as well as multiple riding modes and driver assistance functions. A special feature is the new off-road mode, presented for the first time. The Flying Flea S6 will be available in two colors—Dart Yellow and Lightning Grey, with a launch planned for Summer 2027.

In addition to new production models, Royal Enfield paid special attention to the custom motorcycle culture. The company, in collaboration with the renowned custom motorcycle brand Deus Ex Machina, presented a special custom edition of the Shotgun 650, named 'Son of Gun'. This motorcycle was crafted with particular care: it combines dark red, cream, and gold colors, features special graphics on the fuel tank, a piano black finish on the 650 Twin engine casing, contrasting aluminum wheels, and a brown leather seat with the signature Deus branding.

Royal Enfield has introduced the special Classic 650 Anniversary Edition model, which is a tribute to the brand's 125-year heritage that began in Great Britain about one hundred and twenty-five years ago.

The main feature of this release is the unique paint job, which transforms into shades of red, green, and gold when exposed to light. Production of this model is strictly limited, with only 125 units to be released worldwide, making it available only to select buyers.

This limited edition is named Hypershift Classic 650. It is dedicated to the company's 125th anniversary. To make the motorcycle truly special, the manufacturer restricted production volume. The company stated that only 125 such units will be manufactured globally, but pre-bookings are already open on the official website.

In India, the retail price for this model is set at ₹4,25,589. Registration for purchase started on October 16, 2026, at 14:00 Indian time and will last until October 28, 2026. Official sales will begin on the same day, with an expected delivery start date in November 2026.

The Classic 650 Anniversary Edition model retains the traditional and recognizable design, including the teardrop-shaped fuel tank and the headlight cowl. However, the most outstanding element is the Hypershift Paint Finish, which allows the color to appear red, green, or gold depending on the angle of light incidence. This color palette is inspired by old Royal Enfield design solutions.

Furthermore, the motorcycle features a golden 125th-anniversary cross, special side panel decals, and hand-painted pinstripes, emphasizing its connection to the brand's history.

The engine mechanism in the Classic 650 Anniversary Edition remains unchanged: it is a parallel twin-cylinder engine with a displacement of 647.95 cc. It generates 47 hp and 52.3 Nm of torque, equipped with a 6-speed gearbox, fuel injection system, and electric starter.

Structurally, the motorcycle uses a steel tubular frame. For suspension, it features 43 mm front telescopic forks and dual rear shock absorbers. The braking system includes 320 mm front disc brakes and 300 mm rear disc brakes. A two-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is standard for safety.

The motorcycle is equipped with a 19-inch front wheel (width 100/90) and an 18-inch rear wheel (width 140/70). The fuel tank capacity is 14.7 liters, and the seat height is 800 mm, which facilitates handling even for shorter riders. With fuel and oil filled, the total weight reaches 243 kg, and the ground clearance is 154 mm, helping to navigate rough roads.

The origins of Royal Enfield trace back to 1901, when the company began operations on the streets of Great Britain. The roots of the brand go even further back: in 1891, Rob Bob Walker Smith and Albert Eddy acquired a bicycle manufacturing business in Radiche, England.

The first Royal Enfield motorcycle was introduced in 1901, and the brand gradually gained recognition due to its robust construction. Royal Enfield sales in India started in 1949 after Madras Motors began importing them from Great Britain. In 1955, British Royal Enfield and Madras Motors jointly founded 'Enfield India' for the needs of the Indian army, which required reliable motorcycles for patrolling border areas. In 1956, the production of the Bullet began at the Tiruvottiyur factory near Chennai.

In 1970, production in Great Britain ceased, but output continued in India. In 1994, the Isar group acquired Enfield India, and the company name was changed to Royal Enfield Motors Limited. Today, Royal Enfield is one of the leading premium motorcycle brands in India, offering lines such as Bullet, Classic, Himalayan, and 650cc.

Royal Enfield is preparing to introduce a new motorcycle that will become part of the brand's off-road portfolio. Teaser information has been released about this upcoming model, whose design resembles the recently spotted Royal Enfield Himalayan 750.

The teaser showed an off-road motorcycle with features such as a long windscreen, raised rear bodywork, and a general off-road motorcycle style. The production version of the Himalayan 750 has previously undergone testing. Although the company has not yet named the new model officially, the post used the hashtag Himalayan, indicating its belonging to the off-road series.

This model will be the most powerful and flagship off-road machine in the company's lineup. It is expected to be equipped with a parallel twin-cylinder engine with a displacement of 750 cc, capable of developing 55 hp and 65 Nm of torque. The chassis will also be new, and the test motorcycle was seen with USD front forks. Additionally, it may feature a monoshock at the rear.

The motorcycle will have dual front disc brakes and a single rear rotor. A wheelset with a 19-inch front diameter and a 17-inch rear diameter is planned. During testing, the bike was seen with both disc and spoked wheels. It will include features such as traction control, riding modes, TPMS, and a TFT display with a color screen. These features may be common with the company's 450 and 650 cc models. There is also provision for smartphone connectivity and Google navigation with turn-by-turn directions.

In addition, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 will have a large fuel tank, a half fairing, a large windscreen, round LED headlights, a high-mounted exhaust system, and a raised rear section. This model was recently spotted in red, white, gray, and olive green color schemes. The estimated starting price for this model may begin from 4 lakh rupees, including all charges.
