Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 and Himalayan Electric teased

Royal Enfield has officially unveiled the larger Himalayan and Himalayan Electric for the first time. Although we have previously encountered the Himalayan Electric at both the 2023 EICMA and the 2024 EICMA, this marks the debut of the larger Himalayan. Royal Enfield transported both motorcycles to Khardungla Pass in Ladakh, which stands at an altitude of 18,380 feet.

The test mules of the new larger Himalayan have been observed multiple times on both global and Indian roads. The prototype of the Himalayan appears to be nearing production readiness.

This is not the first occasion we have witnessed the all-electric variant of the Himalayan. The brand has presented it to the public on two prior occasions at EICMA motor shows. The motorcycle has been enhanced with several production-spec components.
