Sharing the spotlight at EICMA 2025, Royal Enfield also showcased the Continental GT 750 prototype — a race-focused evolution of the popular GT line.

The GT 750 runs on a new 750cc parallel-twin engine that’s likely to produce around 54–55bhp and 65Nm of torque. This prototype is set to be used in INRC racing next year, and since it’s a race-spec machine, it could be lighter than the 650 model.

It sports a new chassis, redesigned steering T, and Showa race-tuned suspension with telescopic forks at the front and twin shocks at the rear. Braking is handled by twin front discs and a single rear disc.

The bike’s design carries a strong retro racing theme — a semi-fairing, café racer-style fuel tank, and stubby tail section with tuck-and-roll seats. It rides on 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in soft-compound tyres.

Royal Enfield is expected to reveal more information at Motoverse 2025 (Indian motorcycling event similar to EICMA), while the final production model will likely be showcased at EICMA 2026, followed by a launch around late 2026.

Alongside the Bullet 650 and the Flying Flea models, Royal Enfield displayed a prototype of the Himalayan 750, hinting at a major upgrade to its adventure lineup.

The new 750cc engine appears to be based on an evolved version of the brand’s existing 648cc motor, with a larger block, head, and redesigned crankcases. The engine is expected to produce around 55–60hp, making it the most powerful Himalayan yet.

It features a two-into-one exhaust with an upswept muffler — ideal for off-road use but requiring care while carrying luggage or a pillion. The Himalayan 750 also sits on a brand-new frame and swingarm, now equipped with a monoshock and remote preload adjuster, replacing the traditional twin shocks.

At the front, the fork seems to have some level of adjustability, and the bike runs on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels with Vredestein Centauro dual-purpose tyres. Cross-spoke rims are shown on the display model, though previous spy shots suggest an alloy variant may also exist.

Design-wise, it’s a step away from the rugged look of its smaller siblings. The tank area now flows into a new front panel, surrounding a familiar LED headlight. A taller adjustable windscreen, larger fuel tank, and comfortable seats point towards its touring focus.

Inside the cockpit sits the same TFT display and switchgear as the Himalayan 450, while the big addition is cruise control — a first for Royal Enfield. The bike also comes with a centre stand for convenience.

The Himalayan 750 is expected to go on sale next year, with few direct competitors apart from the upcoming Norton Atlas 585.
