Last week, we got our first glimpse of the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450. While still unconfirmed, BHPian neil.jericho has now shared more details of the upcoming bike.
According to the latest information, the Himalayan 450 will be a global product that is designed to be a proper globetrotter. It is expected to be more offroad focused than the Himalayan 411.
The Himalayan 450 is said to be based on the K1 platform and will be powered by a liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine. It is said to be a long stroke, low revving motor and is estimated to produce around 40 BHP and 40 Nm.
Coming to the ergonomics, the geometry of the bike is said to be conducive to standing and riding, which is ideal for rough terrain. The bike will also feature upside-down Kayaba front forks.
Reliability hasn't been the brand's forte. However, much like the 650 Twins, the new Himalayan 450 should be extremely reliable.
The Himalayan 450 is expected to go up against ADVs like the KTM 390 Adventure, BMW G 310 GS and the Yezdi Adventure. However, reports suggest that it will undercut the KTM in pricing.
Thanks to BHPian neil.jericho for sharing this information with other enthusiasts!
