Bookings for the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 are already underway for a token amount of Rs 10,000, and its deliveries are expected to commence soon.
Let’s quickly delve into all the necessary details of the 2023 Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 –
- It is powered by an all-new 450cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC engine called the ”SHERPA 450” that produces 40.02PS of max power at 8,000 rpm and a peak torque of 40Nm at 5,500 rpm, making it 16PS more powerful and 8Nm torquier than the ongoing Himalayan 411.
- Royal Enfield asserts that the 35Nm of torque is available at as low as 3,000 rpm, providing various benefits, including enhanced low-end delivery, improved rideability, and optimal performance in various riding conditions.
- The engine comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox with a slip-and-assist clutch to decrease rear-wheel skidding during aggressive downshifting and reduce clutch lever effort during gear shifts.
- Based on a new frame, the new Himalayan features restyled bodywork with a new fuel tank design and redrafted braces, a new split seat setup, a shorter tailpipe, improved ergonomics, and an all-LED lighting system.
- Other features include Ride-by-wire technology, a short windshield, a rear luggage rack, a new circular single-pod TFT instrument cluster with connected technology, Google Maps support, call/music control and a compass.
- Underpinnings comprise long-travel 43mm Showa-sourced USD forks (200mm travel) and swingarm-mounted rear monoshock (200mm travel).
- The bike rides on a 21/17-inch spoked wheel combination shod with Ceat Gripp RE tyres.
- For braking, the bike gets disc brakes at both ends – 320mm disc with 2-piston calliper (F) and 270mm with single-piston calliper (R), with switchable dual-channel Antilock Braking System (ABS) as standard fitment.
- 1510mm wheelbase | 230mm ground clearance | 17 litres fuel tank | 825-845mm seat height
- Five colour options: Hanle Black, Kamet White, Slate Himalayan Salt, Slate Poppy Blue, and Kaza Brown.
- There are two accessory packs on offer: Adventure Theme and Rally Theme.
In the Indian market, the new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 will go up against the likes of KTM 390 Adventure and the upcoming Hero XPulse 400.
