As Royal Enfield is all set to announce the prices of the new Himalayan tomorrow at its motorcycle event, let's go through the upcoming adventure tourer's features, engine, and other specifications.
The new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 will rival the likes of the KTM 390 Adventure, the BMW G 310 GS, and the Yezdi Adventure.
Given that the new Himalayan 450 will soon replace the existing Himalayan, we compare the two models to highlight the differences.
Powering the Royal Enfield Himalayan is a new 451.65cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that makes 40bhp at 8,000rpm and 40Nm at 5,500rpm. This engine is called 'Sherpa 450'.
The new Royal Enfield Himalayan 452 will be offered in dual-tone colour options. It will be launched in the Indian market on November 7, 2023, with prices expected to range between Rs 2.60 lakh and Rs 2.70 lakh (ex-showroom).
