While RE is working on a couple of new models for the domestic as well as international markets, a larger capacity Himalayan is also in the pipeline. The CEO and Managing Director of Royal Enfield, Mr Siddhartha Lal confirmed building larger capacity versions of select models that are aimed primarily at the Indian market. Expected to be named, Royal Enfield Himalayan 650 is likely to draw some of its design inspiration from the 410cc model.

The 648cc, 4V SOHC fuel-injected engine is good enough for 47bhp and 52Nm of torque.
