Royal Enfield recently dropped the images of the bigger twin-cylinder Himalayan, alongside the Him-E electric ADV, on its social media handles. The motorcycle giant has been working on a new generation of middleweight motorcycles, and the 'Himalayan 750' is likely to debut not only as a bigger adventure tourer but also with a larger-capacity twin-cylinder engine. Here's a quick lowdown on what we know so far about the upcoming Royal Enfield Himalayan 750.
The bigger Royal Enfield Himalayan will get a bigger half-fairing and a taller windscreen. while sporting a familiar round LED headlamp 1. Familiar Style, Larger Fairing
The spy shots of the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 reveal an identical design, with the overall styling identical to the Himalayan 450. The round LED headlamp and a tower-style design are instantly recognisable, but you now have a larger half-fairing running across the sides. The fuel tank appears to be larger, and the model sports a taller windscreen. The round TFT instrument console seems to have been carried over from the current offering. The Himi 750 also gets new trapezoidal mirrors instead of the round mirrors seen on the Himi 450. The model also gets an upswept exhaust, albeit quite different from the one on the Interceptor Bear 650.

The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 will ride on a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear setup with tubeless spoked wheels 2. New Wheel Setup, Bigger Brakes
The upcoming Himalayan 750 will ride on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear spoked wheels, instead of the 21-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel setup on the 452 cc version. These are likely to be tubeless wheels from the start. The new wheel sizes appear to be more inclined towards touring, but it needs to be seen if a 21-inch front wheel version will be available later. The braking system will receive an upgrade as well, with twin disc brakes at the front and a single disc at the rear. The disc sizes are also likely to be larger. Expect switchable dual-channel ABS, while RE could add other electronic aids like traction control on the bike.
The Himalayan 750 will be underpinned by a new frame and will get a larger displacement motor likely based on the current 648 cc twin-cylinder mill 3. Bigger Capacity Engine
The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 is expected to be powered by a larger capacity engine, up from the 648 cc parallel-twin motor powering the brand's 650 range. While Royal Enfield has not disclosed the displacement of the new motor, it is expected to be larger in cubic capacity and will continue to be an air and oil-cooled unit. The current motor develops about 46.7 bhp and 52 Nm of peak torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox. The new larger displacement engine will pack more power and torque in comparison, improving the bike's touring ability overall.
The test mule shows the USD forks finished in gold and a radially mounted brake master cylinder, and an upswept exhaust 4. New Cycle Parts
The new Himalayan 750 will feature upside-down (USD) front forks and a monoshock setup at the rear. Expect longer travel on both ends. The test mule shows the USD forks finished in gold and a radially mounted brake master cylinder. The adventure tourer will be underpinned by an all-new frame and subframe, which will be able to accommodate the bigger engine and other cycle parts.
The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 appears closer to production, and is likely to make a global debut in a few months 5. Global Debut Likely This Year
Royal Enfield is tight-lipped about when the new Himalayan 750 will make its global debut, but the middleweight adventure tourer appears to be closer to its market debut and could arrive as early as this year. We can expect the bike to be revealed globally in a few months, possibly at EICMA 2025 in November. More details on the Himalayan 750 will be revealed in the coming weeks.

No roads too long
A few weeks after the terror attack in Pahalgam, a parking lot in the Kashmir town hosted an unusual sight. A caravan from Kerala had pulled in and as the evening chill set in, a group of women prepared dinner inside, surrounded by snow-dusted mountains and settled for the night–another ordinary stop on their extraordinary journey across India's highways. For Jalaja Ratheesh, her sister-in-law Surya MB, and daughter Devika Ratheesh, driving massive trucks across the country has become as routine as managing their household in Kottayam. These women from the Puthettu family have shattered stereotypes, proving that India's trucking industry—long dominated by men—has room for fearless female drivers. The trio recently completed their 'Himalayan family trail,' a caravan journey from Kerala to Ladakh that covered 18 Indian states. But this adventure represents just the latest chapter in their remarkable story of life on the road. Jalaja, the pioneer of the family's women drivers, has already traversed 24 states and six Union territories, extending her routes even into neighbouring Nepal. Her most recent marathon assignment saw her navigate 10,500km in her 12-wheel BharatBenz truck, hauling goods from Kottayam to Gujarat, then to Arunachal Pradesh and finally to Nagaland before returning home. The family's trucking legacy began with Jalaja's husband, Ratheesh, who started driving for a relative before purchasing his first truck in 2003. Today, their fleet includes 25 twelve-wheel trucks and an 18-wheel trailer. When Jalaja married into the family that same year, she initially accompanied her husband just to see the country. By 2014, curiosity had transformed into commitment—she obtained her driving licence, followed by a heavy vehicle license four years later. For the past six years, Jalaja has commanded trucks with 25-tonne capacities, earning respect at checkpoints, from police officers, and in villages across the nation. 'We have special consideration wherever we go,' she explains. 'People tell us to drop by again when we pass through their area next time.' Despite the respect they receive, these women face unique challenges that male drivers rarely consider. 'Give us clean toilets,' Jalaja's primary request to authorities reflects a universal concern among the family's female drivers. 'It's difficult to find hygienic washrooms, especially in northern India.' The women have adapted by carrying toilet sheets and rarely staying in hotel rooms during their journeys. 'We find our truck as the safest place,' Jalaja says. 'We also struggle to find parking for our long trucks if we stay in hotels.' Surya, meanwhile, drives mostly during her children's school vacations. She earned her licence in 2023 and describes her first cross-country drive— with kids in the cabin and her husband in the second truck—as both challenging and unforgettable. She stresses that inadequate facilities become particularly problematic during menstruation. Yet these practical challenges haven't deterred the women, who've customized their trucks with 300-litre steel tanks and small kitchens beneath the cargo area. Twenty-one-year-old Devika represents the family's next generation of drivers. The BCom student has already driven through 21 states since obtaining her licence in Jan 2024. 'My vacations are always in the driving seat,' she says. 'I love driving at night, listening to music.' Their journeys have become so routine that Google Maps has become obsolete—they know the routes by heart. 'Once you're interested in traveling, difficulties aren't a bother,' Surya observes. There have been tense moments, too. In West Bengal, Jalaja once realised mid-drive that robbers had jumped into the back of her truck and were cutting the tarpaulin to steal rubber sheets. She didn't panic. She sped up, drove into a crowded area and the robbers fled. Their success, they say, is as much about the men in their family as it is about their own determination. 'They trusted us with the trucks,' Surya notes. The family's adventures now reach beyond personal achievement. Ratheesh has begun documenting their travels through 'Puthettu Vlogs,' which has attracted 5.25 lakh subscribers. What started as casual footage during a Kashmir trip has evolved into a platform offering viewers authentic glimpses of truck driving life across India. 'I want people to get an almost real-life experience of our trips,' Ratheesh explains. Facebook Twitter Linkedin Email Disclaimer Views expressed above are the author's own.

This Bike Ambulance Reaches And Saves Lives Where Other Can't
Last Updated: Take a look at the game-changing Bike Ambulance revealed at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. The Bike Ambulance, shown at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, is getting a lot of attention online. People love how it mixes smart design with medical care. It's gone viral for its ability to move through tight streets, crowded places, and hilly areas with ease. Built by the Indian company Motolance, this unique ambulance uses a Royal Enfield bike attached to a small medical unit. It's made to reach places where regular ambulances often can't go. An Instagram reel showcases the Bike Ambulance in action at the Expo. The video begins with a close‑up of the sleek Royal Enfield motorcycle parked beside its ambulance module. The setup features all the essential emergency lights and sirens, immediately signalling its readiness for first‑response duties. As the camera pans across, viewers get a clear look at the stretchered compartment: it mirrors a standard ambulance stretcher, complete with proper cushioning and safety straps. Above it, an advanced air‑circulation system—similar to the climate control found in aquariums—maintains a clean, ventilated environment. Just beneath, an oxygen tank is securely mounted, ready to support respiratory needs. The reel highlights smart in‑built systems: a telemedicine camera connects patients to doctors remotely, allowing live consultation even en route. On the stretcher's side, a compact ECG machine is integrated, along with basic panels for blood pressure checks and fracture support. The rear compartment includes robust shock absorbers to ensure a smooth ride, even on rough terrain. One standout feature demonstrated in the video is the stretcher's portability: it detaches from its module and transforms into a wheelchair, enabling quick patient transport through crowded or narrow lanes. With a total cost of around Rs 6.5 lakh, this innovative unit meets all government safety and traffic regulations. The presenter highlights how useful and flexible the Bike Ambulance is. It can easily move through busy markets, steep hills, deserts, and other tough areas that regular ambulances often can't reach. This smart idea was created by Motolance, an Indian company working to improve emergency healthcare. The video of the Bike Ambulance has quickly gone viral, and people are impressed by how this simple but powerful innovation will help bring medical care to remote and hard-to-reach places in India.

Yeida to allot 100 acres land for electric vehicles
GREATER NOIDA: The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (Yeida) has decided to allot a 100-acre land parcel to Electric Vehicle Manufacturing Welfare Trust (EVMWT) that will make EVs, officials said on Thursday. Yeida said that a start-up manufacturing EV batteries for two-wheelers, including Royal Enfield, will be allotted 10,000 sqm in the 206-acre Electronics Manufacturing Cluster-2 (EMC-2) in Sector 10. (Sunil Ghosh/HT Photo) The authority issued Letter of Intent (LOI) on Thursday after the agency (EVMWT) demanded it for the land, as they have got multiple manufacturers who want to develop an integrated project near Noida International airport. The authority assured them of providing land in Sector 8. 'The EVMWT will set up a dedicated cluster for EV autorickshaw and two-wheeler production, along with component manufacturing. The land acquisition work is currently in progress in Sector 8. The LoI issued for the 100-acre allotment is subject to approval of the Invest UP Empowered Committee, state policy guidelines, and other applicable regulatory norms,' said Yeida chief executive officer (CEO) Arun Vir Singh. 'The Trust has informed the authority that over 150 units associated with it intend to set up manufacturing facilities. This initiative is expected to provide a major boost to the region's manufacturing sector,' the CEO added. Yeida said that a start-up manufacturing EV batteries for two-wheelers, including Royal Enfield, will be allotted 10,000 sqm in the 206-acre Electronics Manufacturing Cluster-2 (EMC-2) in Sector 10. Havells has already been allotted 50 acres here as the anchor company, and three other major firms have also secured plots. 'Neenjas Electric has been issued a LOI for manufacturing electric vehicle chargers, LED lighting panels, and related solar-based technologies in Sector 10. Founded in 2021, the start-up is based in Noida and operates manufacturing units in Greater Noida,' said Singh. Last week, Dixon Technologies secured 22.5 acres in EMC 2.0, becoming the third company to join the hub. Officials said Dixon has received the LOI to set up a manufacturing unit for mobile phones, consumer electronics, telecom equipment, lighting products, and white goods. Approvals were also issued to two other companies—Ascent-K Circuit and Aurionpro Toshi Automatic Systems—for setting up units under the central government's scheme. The 206-acre cluster has seen strong interest from top industrial players, officials added. 'The land acquisition process in Sector 10 is also ongoing. The EMC 2.0 project was formally approved by union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and Minister of State Jitin Prasada on Wednesday. Earlier, it received in-principle approval from the MeitY (ministry of electronics and information technology) during the 7th project review committee meeting held in April,' the CEO added.
