Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 still leads to a paradigm shift in adventure touring in India with its rugged looks and decent power and new technology. The motorcycle is constructed to satisfy the adventure-seeking riders because although it has off-road features it can also be used daily as it is one of the best bikes when it comes to adventure enjoyers, and long-distance riders.
Design That Reflects Purpose
The Himalayan 450 builds upon the legendary profile of its predecessor having more aggressive lines and a more athletic posture. It is designed with a high mounted front fender, slender headlamp with LED lights and a compact rear part that gives the bike an excellent off-road look. The high windscreen and big handles of the bikes provide improved wind protection and control particularly during the long rides. It comes in 5 colors containing Kaza brown and Hanle black, to suit those who love to make a statement, and those who do not.
Powerful Sherpa Engine for All Terrains
The Himalayan 450 core is the new liquid-cooled Sherpa engine featuring 452cc. It delivers 39.4 bhp, 40 Nm of torque and a 6-speed gearbox. This arrangement is witnessed to be comfortable when delivering power on various types of terrains, be it in mountainous tracks or highways. Ride- by-wire throttle control and various ride modes will enable riders to change the behavior of the bike according to the situation to create confidence and control.
Comfort and Capability in Every Ride
Himalayan 450 has a steel twin-spar frame that provides great stability and balance. It is equipped with long-travel Showa USD front forks and monoshock at the back and can therefore handle bumps in the road with keen ease. The height of the seat is also adjustable (805 845 mm) and comfortable to ride a person of different heights. It has a 17 litre fuel tank and can do 30 kmpl, which makes it quite suitable to be a touring motorcycle.
Technology That Supports the Journey
One of the most notable ones is the full-map navigation system in the circular TFT display which is powered by Google Maps. It provides easy-to-understand real-time guidance and other necessary details of the ride. Other features in the bike are switchable ABS, USB charging ports and LED lightings to enhance visibility. Such features do not only ensure that the Himalayan 450 is a rugged bike, but also smart and friendly to the rider.
Pricing and Recent Updates
The lowest trim of the Himalayan 450 is available at 2.85 lakh (ex-showroom) and the top trim hits 2.98 lakh. A recent increase though on the optional tubeless spoke wheels, however, which have jumped in price by 17 percent (to ₹12,424 to ₹40,645) has caught many of the current owners by surprise2. They can still be availed to new buyers at the previous price should one choose at the time of purchase.
