Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 exhaust note: This is how the bigger ADV sounds
Royal Enfield's upcoming Himalayan 750 has made another appearance ahead of its expected debut, but this time it is the motorcycle's soundtrack that has grabbed attention. A new video circulating online captures the upcoming adventure bike being ridden, offering an early impression of its exhaust note.
The sound is distinctly low-pitched, with a deep note at idle that becomes more pronounced as the engine is revved. Compared to Royal Enfield's existing 650cc motorcycles, the Himalayan 750 appears to have a heavier and bassier exhaust note.Bigger Royal Enfield twin gets a new sound View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shakeeb Ahmed (@shakz_maniac_)
The Himalayan 750 will be powered by Royal Enfield's upcoming 750cc parallel-twin engine, which is expected to be derived from the company's existing 650cc twin-cylinder platform. The larger motor is expected to receive changes to its internals and tuning, meaning its sound and performance will not necessarily mirror those of the current 648cc engine. Royal Enfield has already been testing the new engine in several motorcycles, including the Continental GT 750, Interceptor 750 and Himalayan 750. The company is also believed to be developing other models around the same platform.
The Himalayan 750 seen in the latest video uses a single, upswept exhaust end-can rather than the twin-exhaust arrangement used on motorcycles such as the Interceptor 650, Continental GT 650 and Super Meteor 650. The two-into-one arrangement is also expected to contribute to the motorcycle's distinct exhaust character.Himalayan 750 will be Royal Enfield's largest ADV
The new motorcycle will sit above the Himalayan 450 and is expected to become Royal Enfield's largest adventure motorcycle when it goes on sale. It has already been shown publicly in pre-production form at the company's Himalayan Base Camp event in Ladakh.
Visually, the 750 is substantially larger than the Himalayan 450, with a bigger fairing, more substantial tank extensions and a taller windscreen. The motorcycle showcased in Ladakh featured 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheels, while test motorcycles have also been spotted with cross-spoke wheels. The larger ADV is expected to use a dedicated chassis and will feature a monoshock at the rear.
Suspension hardware includes inverted front forks and a remotely adjustable rear shock, while braking is handled by twin front discs and a single rear disc.More touring equipment on the Himalayan 750
Royal Enfield appears to be positioning the Himalayan 750 as a long-distance adventure motorcycle, with equipment including cruise control and tyre pressure monitoring. The motorcycle showcased in Ladakh also featured a TFT instrument cluster, traction control and switchgear that suggests the availability of multiple riding modes.
The TFT unit is expected to offer smartphone connectivity and navigation functions, while a dedicated joystick on the left switchgear allows the rider to navigate through the display.
Power output and torque figures have not been officially revealed. The 750cc twin is currently expected to produce around 50-55bhp and 60-65Nm, with a six-speed gearbox likely to be used.Himalayan 750 India launch
The production version of the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 is expected to make its global debut at EICMA 2026 in November. An India launch is likely to follow in the first quarter of 2027.
For now, the latest video provides one of the clearest indications of how Royal Enfield's largest motorcycle yet could sound. The final exhaust note may change slightly on the production-spec motorcycle, but the early signs point towards a deeper and more muscular soundtrack than the company's existing 650cc twins.
