Royal Enfield Meteor 350

<p>
Let me begin with a confession. I’ve had a soft spot for the Hunter 350 ever since its launch. The idea of a compact and fairly agile neo-retro 350 with minimal electronics always appealed to me. So, when Royal Enfield updated the bike, I was quite happy to see that most of the things that I admired in it remained intact, while some welcome quality-of-life improvements were added, at least on paper. According to the company, these updates are the result of customer feedback. So naturally, I wanted to find out how well these changes hold up in real-world riding conditions.</p>

<h2>Minor Glow-up</h2>

<p>With this update, the Hunter 350 is offered with three new colour options – one of which, the London Red, was the variant that we had on test. The graphics are tastefully done – they are not too flashy but visually appealing. More significantly, the halogen headlamp has been replaced with an LED unit. That said, the base model still comes with the old halogen unit.</p>

    <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
      <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/07/Royal-Enfield-Hunter-350-Speedometer-1752744324452.webp" alt="Royal Enfield Hunter 350-Speedometer.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
    </div>
  
    <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
      <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/07/Royal-Enfield-Hunter-350-Stand-View-1752744333099.webp" alt="Royal Enfield Hunter 350-Stand-View.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
    </div>
  
<p>Now, I haven’t been particularly impressed by the LED lights on other RE models, so I kept my expectations in check. Surprisingly, though, the new unit on the Hunter managed to exceed them. The throw is actually quite decent, even on low beam. That said, I do feel that the intensity could’ve been dialled up a bit more. At sane city speeds, it performs well. But when you are relying solely on the headlamp, especially when you have to deal with the glare from oncoming traffic, it becomes clear that even the high beam doesn’t offer much in terms of illumination.</p>

<h2>Tech-tile Change</h2>

<p>The Hunter 350 now comes with the Tripper navigation pod, which pairs with your smartphone to provide turn-by-turn navigation. The connection process is quick and easy, making it quite user-friendly. Although, I wish that RE had taken this opportunity to add either a real-time mileage display or a distance-to-empty readout.</p>

<p>Another new feature is a Type-C fast charging port. It’s definitely a convenient upgrade, although I did find its placement slightly awkward. Still, the 27W fast charging capability is a welcome addition, especially on longer rides when keeping your device charged matters.</p>

    <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
      <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/07/Royal-Enfield-Hunter-350-Shocker-1752744340453.webp" alt="Royal Enfield Hunter 350-Shocker.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
    </div>
  
    <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
      <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/07/Royal-Enfield-Hunter-350-2-1752744351221.webp" alt="Royal Enfield Hunter 350-2.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
    </div>
  
<p>But my favourite feature addition is the slip and assist clutch. Now, the clutch pull is so light that you can operate it with just a single finger – a true blessing in bumper-to-bumper traffic, which, let’s face it, is nearly constant in most cities. Not only does it improve everyday usability, but it also makes rev-matching and aggressive downshifting much smoother, without unsettling the bike.</p>

<p>The engine specs remain unchanged — 20.2bhp and 27Nm of torque from a 349cc single-cylinder air- and oil-cooled engine. The outputs are more than sufficient for both city riding and relaxed cruising. Thanks to the strong mid-range and tall third and fourth gears, you won’t find yourself constantly shifting. What’s more, the engine does not feel stressed and remains composed even at speeds of 80 – 90km/h.</p>

<h2>Springing into action</h2>

<p>Now, let’s talk about the rear suspension, which has also been changed. The new setup has been tuned for a more compliant ride, and while it’s certainly an improvement over the outgoing model, I wouldn’t call it transformative. You still feel bumps and road imperfections, especially over speed breakers and rough patches.</p>

    <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
      <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/07/Royal-Enfield-Hunter-350-Seating-1752744360505.webp" alt="Royal Enfield Hunter 350-Seating.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
    </div>
  
<p>Royal Enfield has also reworked the seat, using new foam to enhance comfort. However, I am not sure if it’s a successful change. The edges of the seat are a bit too firm, and discomfort starts to creep in after about half an hour on the saddle. Another problem is the seat’s contour, which tends to push you towards the front, which is not very comfortable. Even if you try sitting further back where the cushion is wider, you will find yourself sliding forward after a while. So, while there’s been some effort to enhance comfort, the results aren’t game-changing.</p>

<p>That said, the ride does feel a little more settled with a pillion on board – the added weight seems to help the rear suspension work better. Thankfully, despite the changes in the suspension, the bike is still as agile and fun as ever. It remains quick to respond, light on its feet, and an absolute joy in tight U-turns or sudden direction changes – in short, it’s still a very fun bike to ride.</p>

<p>Another welcome change is the increased ground clearance. By rerouting the exhaust, RE has been able to increase it to 160mm. While the previous version didn’t suffer from any major issues in this regard, more ground clearance is always a welcome addition, especially when it comes without increasing the seat height – it’s unchanged at 790mm, making the Hunter quite accessible for a wide range of riders.</p>

<h2>Eyes on the price</h2>

<p>The base price of the Hunter 350 still remains ₹1.50 lakh, which means that it offers great value for money. It’s only when you opt for the mid or top variants that you have to pay a little over ₹7,000 more compared to the outgoing model. In my opinion, the slip and assist clutch alone makes that hike justified. The added features like Tripper navigation and USB charging only sweeten the deal further. My only real complaint is that the rear suspension is still not comfortable enough. That said, if you want a smart and nimble 350cc motorcycle with a great engine, the Hunter is one of the most compelling choices in its class.

Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Review

Is the new Hunter a meaningful upgrade or just an attempt to tick the update box?

<p>As promised in last month’s report, this time, I shall be talking about how the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 is to ride in the Eco mode. This mode makes the power delivery less jerky while still maintaining good acceleration for everyday use. The Eco mode also allowed me to extract a fuel efficiency figure of a little over 25km/l. Another thing to note is that I mostly rode the bike through traffic-riddled roads and going on the highway should result in a bit more mileage. However, given how smooth I was with my inputs, I would have liked to see a higher figure.</p>
<p>The Eco mode is, in fact, my preferred choice when travelling with a pillion. The gentler manners of the bike help ensure that your companion on the rear seat is not yeeted off when you get going. Speaking of the pillion experience, the Guerrilla has a fairly long seat cushion that makes it usable for the person at the back. Two very tall people will still find the space a bit cramped, but average-sized Indians should not have a problem. The footpegs do have vibrations, but they are not too severe to be a bother. Plus, it goes with the character of this motorcycle.</p>
<p>Something I noticed while riding the Guerrilla in the afternoons is that the fuel tank gets a bit too warm for my liking. It is not so bad that you can’t hug it with your legs, but it gets very close to that point. I would definitely recommend getting some sort of rubber tank grips to avert the issue. Also, just like the new Himalayan, the Guerrilla does seem to have a razor-sharp response for the rear brake, meaning that you can lock up the rear wheel easily, even though there is dual-channel ABS. All things considered, I am still surprised how usable this bike is, if you want a pillion to tag along. </p>

The 2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 has been quietly updated — but are these changes enough to elevate the riding experience?

<p>The Royal Enfield Bullet 350 remains a popular bike in its category, competing with models like the Honda H’ness CB350 and Jawa 42.&nbsp;The base version, called Battalion Black, still costs Rs 1.75 lakh. However, prices for most other versions have increased by Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,000. For instance, the Military Black and Military Red models&nbsp;now cost Rs 1.76 lakh. The prices for the Standard Black&nbsp;and Maroon editions are Rs 2 lakh each. The premium Black Gold model now retails for Rs 2.18 lakh.</p><p>The bike is built on Royal Enfield’s modern J-platform, which is shared with newer models like the Hunter 350. It features a single-piece seat, a circular headlight,&nbsp;and a long exhaust. The Bullet 350 sits between the Hunter 350 and Classic 350&nbsp;in Royal Enfield's lineup. It has an instrument cluster that includes an analogue&nbsp;speedometer, odometer, trip meter, fuel gauge, and an eco-indicator.&nbsp;It also has a small digital display&nbsp;for service reminders.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/royal-enfield-himalayan-750-himalayan-electric-spotted-testing-in-ladakh-120988/">Royal Enfield Himalayan 750, Himalayan Electric Spotted Testing in Ladakh</a></p><p>A USB charging port is located below the handlebar&nbsp;and is available on all versions. Buyers can choose to add Royal Enfield’s&nbsp;Tripper Navigation system for turn-by-turn directions.</p><h2>Royal Enfield Bullet 350: Key Specifications</h2><p>The Royal Enfield Bullet 350 packs a 349cc single-cylinder, air/oil-cooled engine that delivers 20.2bhp of maximum power and 27Nm of peak torque,&nbsp;paired with a 5-speed gearbox. It features a strong double cradle frame, telescopic front forks, and twin gas-charged shock absorbers at the rear with adjustable preload.</p><p>The Bullet 350 is equipped with disc brakes at both the front and rear, supported by dual-channel ABS in the higher variants. However, the entry-level Military models feature&nbsp;a rear drum brake and single-channel ABS. The Bullet 350 rolls on classic spoked wheels, with a 19-inch front&nbsp;and 18-inch rear setup, wrapped in Ceat tube-type tyres measuring 100mm and 120mm respectively.</p><h2>Other Highlights</h2><p>In May 2025, Royal Enfield posted a 26% rise in overall sales, led by strong demand for its 350cc models like the Classic, Bullet, and Hunter.&nbsp;Domestic sales rose by 28%, with 74,492 units sold in May 2025, compared to 59,852 units sold&nbsp;in the same month last year.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/2025-yezdi-adventure-vs-royal-enfield-himalayan-450-spec-comparison-whats-different-120915/">2025 Yezdi Adventure vs Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Spec Comparison: What's Different?</a></p><p>The company also recorded higher export numbers, contributing to the overall increase. Royal Enfield's year-to-date sales also saw a 14% increase, reaching 150,774 units.</p>

Royal Enfield Bullet 350 Gets Costlier in India: Here's What It'll Cost Now

The base version, called Royal Enfield Bullet 350 Battalion Black, still costs Rs 1.75 lakh. However, prices for most other versions have increased by Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,000.

<p>The Royal Enfield Himalayan lineup is on heat as two highly anticipated models – the Himalayan 750 and an electric variant – were recently spotted undergoing field testing in Ladakh’s challenging terrain. This rugged region has long been a favourite proving ground for the Himalayan range, and these sightings offer a first glimpse at what’s next. The Himalayan 750 appears to continue the lineage’s focus on adventure-ready capability, but with added muscle and possibly upgraded features. Even more intriguing is the electric prototype, signaling Royal Enfield’s bold leap into electrified adventure touring. With the vast expanses of Ladakh behind them, both models are being pushed through extreme conditions – altitude, gravel, and cold – to validate their performance, endurance, and reliability before likely heading toward production.</p><h2>Royal Enfield Himalayan 750: Key Details</h2><p> The Himalayan 750 sports a tough, off-road-ready silhouette, marked by a tall windscreen, raised exhaust, round headlamp, and a two-piece seat. At the rear, a modern lighting setup cleverly merges the brake lamp and turn indicators, reminiscent of what we’ve seen on the Himalayan 450.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/2025-yezdi-adventure-vs-royal-enfield-himalayan-450-spec-comparison-whats-different-120915/">2025 Yezdi Adventure vs Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Spec Comparison: What's Different?</a></p><p>Mechanically, the bike seems equipped with upside-down front forks, a rear monoshock, and wire-spoke wheels – likely 19-inch at the front and 17-inch at the rear. For the first time on a Royal Enfield, the 750 also appears to adopt dual front disc brakes. On the tech front, a digital TFT screen, dual-channel ABS with switch-off functionality, traction control, and selectable ride modes are expected to be included.</p><p>

    </div>
  <br><p>Beneath its bodywork, the Himalayan 750 is set to house a new 750cc parallel-twin engine with air and oil cooling, paired to a six-speed transmission. While official output figures are unavailable, it is anticipated to deliver power north of 50bhp and torque around 60Nm.</p><p><br></p><h2>Royal Enfield Himalayan Electric: What to Expect<br></h2><p>Meanwhile, the company’s electric ambitions are taking shape through the Himalayan Electric – first shown as the Him-E concept at EICMA 2023 and evolved into a more refined Himalayan Electric 2.0 at Motoverse 2024 in Goa. Tailored for adventure touring, this EV will likely receive a reengineered frame, stronger torque delivery, and suspension with full adjustability to take on varied terrains.</p><p>

  <br><p>Recent spy shots of the electric test mule confirm the presence of premium features: Ohlins suspension front and back, lightweight aluminium elements, a rally-style tower, and a seamless one-piece seat that stretches onto the ‘tank’ area. Other details include single-petal discs on both wheels, dual-sport Bridgestone Battlax Adventurecross tyres, and tubeless spoke rims.</p><p>Despite its electric heart, the motorcycle remains visually rooted in the ADV category with familiar elements such as side crash guards, an upright windscreen, and a round LED headlamp. It is also expected to feature a tower-mounted 7-inch Ecumaster display. Performance output is rumoured to match the petrol-powered Himalayan 450, offering a familiar ride experience with zero emissions.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/long-term-reports/royal-enfield-guerrilla-450-long-term-review-june-2025-report-120970/">Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Long Term Review, June 2025 Report</a></p><p>A fully finished Himalayan Electric is expected to make its global premiere at this year's EICMA, followed by an India launch in 2027.</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DKw2LAWzVpo/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading&amp;img_index=1">Source</a></p>

Royal Enfield Himalayan 750, Himalayan Electric Spotted Testing in Ladakh

A production-ready Royal Enfield Himalayan Electric is expected to make its global debut at this year’s EICMA, with an India launch planned for 2027.

<p>I had been eyeing the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 from the sidelines for a while now, much like a college boy admiring his crush from afar. Ever since it was first announced, the Guerrilla had my curiosity. I wanted to see how the Sherpa 450 engine fared in a more compact frame. Shivank had the chance to ride it in Spain for the first ride and even when we got the bike for our annual awards, my time with it was tantalisingly short. So, when there was a chance to add this 450 machine to our long-term fleet, I pounced at the opportunity.</p>
<p>Royal Enfield has lately been guilty of providing very stiff rear suspensions to their bikes, even the ones that don’t need it. I knew that the Guerrilla was also a victim of this problem. However, having clocked a decent number of kilometres on the bike, I can say that it is not as bad as it may have initially seemed. You see, while the rear suspension is stiffer than I would have liked, it does cope decently well with most undulations on city roads. Yes, going over a bump at higher speed still leaves you a bit nervous but there is no cause for concern in normal riding. I do like how supple it is while also being taut over the curvy sections of road.</p>
<p> There are two ride modes on offer — Eco and Performance. In the Performance mode, the bike exhibits its wild side, thanks to the punchy acceleration. However, the operating range of the engine becomes rather narrow. It wants you to keep it spinning between 3,000rpm and 5,000rpm. Going higher results in reduced acceleration, and going lower brings out the familiar sputtering of the engine which we have also seen in the Himalayan. The efficiency is also not great in this mode, even if you try to be gentle with your inputs. I managed to extract just 23km/l. Also, I must mention that the on-board mileage indicator is rather accurate as the figure I obtained using the tank-to-tank method and the one displayed on the dash were close. Good job on an accurate reading, Royal Enfield!</p>
<p>Things change a lot if you choose the Eco mode. The engine behaves itself when the revs drop lower and the sputtering comes into play only when you go below 2,000rpm. The bike feels smoother but the acceleration is still decent. You can use the Eco mode for most of your rides and call upon the Performance mode when you really need it. I also saw a decent bump to the mileage figure in the Eco mode but I would like to elaborate on it more in my next report. Till then, I shall be getting to know my new partner more intimately.</p><p><strong>Also Read:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/bike-reviews/royal-enfield-guerrilla-450-street-warfare-118062/" target="_blank">Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Review</a></p><p><strong>Also Read:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/royal-enfield-scram-440-vs-guerrilla-450-spec-comparison-whats-different-119719/" target="_blank">Royal Enfield Scram 440 vs Guerrilla 450 Spec Comparison - What's Different?</a><br></p>

Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Long Term Review, June 2025 Report

Royal Enfield has lately been guilty of providing very stiff rear suspensions to their bikes, even the ones that don’t need it. I knew that the Guerrilla was also a victim of this problem.

<p>Royal Enfield recorded a strong 26% year-on-year growth in total sales for May 2025. The surge was led by high demand for its 350cc motorcycle range, including the Classic 350, Hunter 350, Bullet 350, and Meteor 350. The brand also posted a rise in exports during the same period, boosting its overall sales figures.&nbsp; In the domestic market, Royal Enfield’s 350cc motorcycles saw a 28% increase in sales, reaching 74,492 units in May 2025 compared to 59,852 units in May 2024. Year-to-date sales also grew by 14%, totalling 150,774 units. This steady demand highlights the popularity of Royal Enfield’s 350cc bikes and strengthens the brand’s dominance in India’s mid-weight motorcycle segment.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/this-custom-royal-enfield-super-meteor-650-gets-the-great-frog-treatment-120802/">This Custom Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 Gets The Great Frog Treatment</a></p><p>Royal Enfield’s 650cc motorcycle lineup also delivered strong growth too. Domestic sales rose by 16% to 12,937 units in May 2025, up from 11,158 units in May 2024. Year-to-date sales of the 650cc range increased by 25%, reaching 25,214 units. These numbers indicate rising interest in Royal Enfield’s larger-displacement motorcycles among Indian consumers.</p><p>B Govindarajan, Managing Director, Eicher Motors, and Chief Executive Officer, Royal Enfield, said: 'This month, we’ve continued to build on our momentum with steady growth in India and international markets. What’s even more exciting is the way our community continues to expand, in spirit and in size. </p><p>'From iconic rides like the Himalayan Odyssey to partnerships with like-minded brands, we’re committed to creating spaces where riders come together to explore, connect, and celebrate the journey.

The brand’s strong product portfolio and rising sales figures suggest continued success.</p>

Royal Enfield Records 26% YoY Growth in Motorcycle Sales with 89,429 Units in May

Royal Enfield's 350cc and 650cc motorcycles drove a 26% sales surge in May 2025. Strong domestic demand and rising exports solidify its market position.

<p>Royal Enfield has partnered with London-based jewellery brand The Great Frog to unveil a custom Super Meteor 650 Brit Chopper. This limited-edition motorcycle blends Royal Enfield’s engineering with The Great Frog’s handcrafted design style. The collaboration also includes a sterling silver ring and a curated apparel range. Drawing inspiration from The Great Frog’s legacy in silver jewellery and links to music subcultures, the motorcycle features bespoke design touches. While its core performance remains the same, the new look reflects a rebellious and raw aesthetic that sets it apart in the custom bike market. This project celebrates bold craftsmanship, attracting motorcycle enthusiasts and style-conscious riders alike.</p>

<p>Reino Lehtonen-Riley, Creative Director &amp; Head Designer - The Great Frog, said: 'Both TGF and Royal Enfield have stood the test of time have drawn upon their heritage to come together to distill this lineage and create a modern day interpretation of the early Brit chopper, rather than slavishly copying the past, we took the same ethos of those before us but with today’s technology. We’re proud of what we’ve created and can’t wait for the world to see it.'</p>

This Custom Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 Gets The Great Frog Treatment

Royal Enfield and The Great Frog have revealed a custom Super Meteor 650 that captures the passion for custom motorcycle culture.

<p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/triumph/">Triumph</a> has launched the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/triumph/scrambler-400-xc/">Scrambler 400 XC</a> in India as the more off-road-focused sibling of the 400 X. Priced in a similar range as the popular&nbsp;Royal Enfield Himalayan, the Scrambler 400 XC positions itself as a strong contender to the ADV&nbsp;in the mid-size motorcycle segment. Both cater to riders seeking versatile motorcycles&nbsp;with off-road capabilities. We pit these two capable machines against&nbsp;each other to determine which one delivers more value for the modern adventurer.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">

    </div>
  <h2>Triumph Scrambler 400 XC vs Royal Enfield Himalayan 450: Design</h2><p>The 400 XC features a scrambler-inspired design with some off-road capability, while the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/royal-enfield/himalayan-450/">Royal Enfield Himalayan</a> is built specifically&nbsp;for adventure touring. However, both bikes are capable of more than just city riding, making&nbsp;them direct competitors in the segment.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/triumph-scrambler-400-xc-vs-scrambler-400-x-key-differences-explained-120697/">Triumph Scrambler 400 XC vs Scrambler 400 X: Key Differences Explained</a></p><p>While the Scrambler 400 XC looks mostly like the 400 X, some changes make it tougher and more off-road ready.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">

  <p>The plastic engine bash plate is now metal for better protection&nbsp;and a tougher look. It also gets a small flyscreen&nbsp;and a higher front fender for a more adventure-focused style.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">

    </div>
  <p>The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 has a more practical design.&nbsp;It features a round LED headlight, a split seat, a large fuel tank with guards,&nbsp;and a clean rear with integrated indicators.</p><h2>Triumph Scrambler 400 XC vs Royal Enfield Himalayan 450: Engine</h2><p>Although the Royal Enfield Himalayan has a slightly larger engine displacement, both it&nbsp;and the Triumph Scrambler 400 XC deliver nearly identical performance on paper. Each uses&nbsp;a liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine paired with a six-speed gearbox.&nbsp;</p><p>The Scrambler 400 XC puts out around 39.5bhp, while the Himalayan 450 edges&nbsp;ahead slightly at 40bhp. Torque figures are close too, with the Himalayan&nbsp;producing 40Nm, just a touch more than the Triumph. This near-parity in output positions both bikes as solid choices for riders who want capable performance across city rides, highways, and light off-road trails.</p><h2>Triumph Scrambler 400 XC vs Royal Enfield Himalayan 450: Hardware and Features</h2><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">

  <p>Both the Triumph Scrambler 400 XC and Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 come equipped with a 43mm USD fork at the front and a rear monoshock,&nbsp;along with a 320mm front disc brake. The difference lies&nbsp;in the rear braking setup—the Scrambler uses a 230mm disc, while the Himalayan features&nbsp;a larger 270mm disc. Dual-channel ABS is offered on both.</p><p>In terms of wheels, the Scrambler 400 XC runs on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear cross-spoke wheels with tubeless dual-purpose tyres. The Himalayan&nbsp;uses a more off-road-focused setup with a 21-inch front and the same&nbsp;17-inch rear, fitted with knobby tyres better suited for rough terrain.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">

  <p>While both bikes are closely matched, the Scrambler stands out by offering traction control and a slightly&nbsp;lower kerb weight at 190 kg (compared to the Himalayan’s 198 kg).</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/triumph-scrambler-400-x-gets-free-10-year-warranty-coverage-till-may-end-120675/">Triumph Scrambler 400 X Gets Free 10-Year Warranty Coverage Till May End</a></p><p>Both motorcycles offer similar features, including LED headlamps,&nbsp;dual-channel ABS, and digital dashboards.&nbsp;However, the Himalayan features a more advanced&nbsp;TFT instrument cluster, with integrated turn-by-turn navigation,&nbsp;setting it apart in terms of rider-focused technology.</p><h2>Triumph Scrambler 400 XC vs Royal Enfield Himalayan 450: Prices</h2><p>While the Himalayan 450 may seem like the more affordable option with a starting&nbsp;price of Rs 2.85 lakh (ex-showroom), that advantage&nbsp;shrinks quickly when you consider the Kamet White edition,&nbsp;which is priced at Rs 2.93 lakh. At that point,&nbsp;it’s almost on par with the Triumph Scrambler 400 XC,&nbsp;which comes in at Rs 2.94 lakh. All prices are ex-showroom. </p>
