Apart from minor cosmetic and accessory modifications, there seems to be no other special modification carried over on the bikes. The Himalayan sources power from a 411 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine featuring SOHC set up. In the Indian-spec model, this engine is responsible for delivering 24.3 bhp of power at 6500 rpm and 32 Nm of torque at 4000-4500 rpm. The transmission option is a 5-speed unit.

The units delivered to the Argentinean police force are most likely freshly made out of the RE's latest local assembly unit which was inaugurated a few days back. It is located in Campana, Buenos Aires. The company has partnered with Grupo Simpa for its local operations in Argentina. Grupo Simpa is RE's local distributor there.
