Other Key Highlights

Royal Enfield has updated the Himalayan 450 with a new side stand for 2026. The ADV’s previous side stand caused the bike to tilt excessively when parked, making it difficult to handle the 196 kg machine, especially on soft or sloped terrain. To fix this issue, the company has equipped the 2026 model with a redesigned side stand that has a more upright design. It comes standard on all 2026 Himalayan models.
