Royal Enfield Halts Himalayan 440 Bookings Amid Demand; Himalayan 750 Revealed
Royal Enfield has temporarily halted bookings for the Himalayan 440 in India due to strong demand and a waiting period of around six months. The motorcycle, launched in September 2026 at Rs 2.29 lakh, features a new 443cc engine and mechanical updates. Meanwhile, the upcoming Himalayan 750 has been spotted without camouflage, revealing four paint schemes and design elements that retain the model's signature features. Royal Enfield has not announced when bookings for the Himalayan 440 will resume or further details about the Himalayan 750 launch.
