The upcoming Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 has been spotted once again doing testing rounds in the country. The test mule was spied on completely without disguise, suggesting that it could be close to production. The motorcycle has been sighted on multiple occasions already, the latest spy images reveal some fresh details. The Himalayan 450 from the house of Royal Enfield was seen with a single pod instrument console. This means that the upcoming bike will likely ditch a multi-pod semi-analogue design as available with the existing Himalayan 411. Besides, the digital instrument cluster will get a new layout within.
Based on the spy shots, there is a digital tachometer placed towards the outer circumference of the console, while the bike features a gear position indicator and a speedometer in the centre. Plus, the fuel level bar will likely be located between the tachometer and the gear position indicator. Other details could be placed at the bottom of the screen.
