GaadiWaadi -

Royal Enfield, Hero MotoCorp and Bajaj Auto have new adventure motorcycles in development including a twin-cylinder tourer and an electric off-roader

Adventure motorcycles have gained plenty of attention in India over the past few years prompting domestic manufacturers to develop machines for different riding requirements and price categories. Royal Enfield is preparing its biggest Himalayan yet while Hero MotoCorp showcased two new Xpulse models recently. Bajaj Auto is also working on a dual sport motorcycle that has been spotted testing on public roads. Here we have brought you a rundown:

1. Royal Enfield Himalayan 750

The Himalayan 750 will become the largest adventure motorcycle from Royal Enfield when it arrives in showrooms soon. Unveiled at EICMA 2026, the motorcycle features a new 743 cc air and oil-cooled parallel-twin engine capable of producing 55 hp at 7,000 rpm and 63 Nm at 5,000 rpm. The powertrain is paired with a six-speed gearbox and an assist and slipper clutch. The equipment list comprises five riding modes, cruise control, cornering ABS, adjustable traction control, and a six-axis IMU. The adventure tourer also receives a 4-inch TFT instrument cluster and a 19-inch front wheel paired with a 17-inch rear unit. Royal Enfield will showcase the motorcycle at Motoverse later this month.

2. Hero Xpulse 450

The Xpulse 450 is another motorcycle that made its first public appearance at EICMA 2026. Hero MotoCorp has developed the adventure bike around a 421 cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine generating 46.7 hp at 9,100 rpm and 38 Nm at 7,500 rpm. The motorcycle employs a six-speed transmission, adjustable 43 mm KYB upside-down forks with 225 mm of travel and tubeless wire-spoke wheels. It boasts riding modes, traction control and a 7-inch TFT screen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. Overseas deliveries are scheduled for 2027 ahead of the proposed launch in India.

3. Bajaj Trekker Dual Sport

Bajaj Auto could soon have its first purpose-built dual sport motorcycle in production as test prototypes have been photographed on multiple occasions. The motorcycle could carry the Trekker name and is distinguished by its raised front fender, substantial suspension travel, upright handlebars,and high-mounted exhaust. The test vehicles also feature conventional telescopic forks, a rear monoshock with linkage and disc brakes at both ends. The engine could be derived from the 250 cc air and oil-cooled single-cylinder unit used in the Pulsar N250. The motorcycle could initially arrive in Brazil before its local arrival.

4. Hero Xpulse 150

The Xpulse 150 takes a different approach from its larger sibling and has been designed primarily for international markets. The motorcycle debuted at EICMA 2026 in Milan with a 150 cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine kicking out 12.2 PS and 12.8 Nm. The five-speed gearbox is accompanied by a lightweight dual sport construction while the motorcycle weighs 141.5 kg. The 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels are shod with dual-purpose tyres. The ground clearance measures 220 mm while the seat height stands at 826 mm. Other notable elements are an engine protection plate, raised front mudguard, handguards and a luggage carrier. While local debut remains uncertain, it could act as a spiritual successor to the original Impulse and could slot below the Xpulse 210.

5. Royal Enfield Himalayan Electric

Royal Enfield has also been experimenting with an electric adventure motorcycle under its HIM-E project. The first prototype was displayed at EICMA 2023 before a significantly revised machine arrived at the following edition of the exhibition. The electric Himalayan has subsequently undergone testing in mountainous terrain providing an opportunity to evaluate its chassis, battery positioning,and off-road capabilities. The manufacturer continues to refine the motorcycle before considering commercial production. Reports have suggested a possible introduction from 2027 but we reckon it could take a little longer to arrive.
