The new generation Royal Enfield Himalayan made its global debut at EICMA 2023.

Pre-bookings for the new Himalayan have commenced for a token of ₹10,000, while deliveries will begin after the price announcement on November 24 at RE Motoverse.

The new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is one of the most anticipated launches of the year and easily the most important for the company this year. It marks a new chapter for the brand as it moves to newer technologies while keeping the ethos intact. The Himalayan 450 then will be launched at the manufacturer’s annual festival - RE Motoverse in Goa - a congregation of owners and enthusiasts from across the world. Previously, RE unveiled the 650 Twins at Rider Mania and has brought a special showcase every year at the event.

The new Royal Enfield Himalayan gets several firsts for the company including a liquid-cooled engine, lighter components including a forged piston, all-digital console, ride-by-wire, and more. Power comes from the newly developed Sherpa 450 engine. The single-cylinder motor can churn out 39.4 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 40 Nm at 5,500 rpm. The motor is paired with a 6-speed gearbox with a slip-and-assist clutch.

The adventure tourer is built on an all-new twin-spar platform with 43 mm USD front forks and a 7-step adjustable monoshock at the rear while braking performance comes from a 320 mm single front disc and a 270 disc at the rear with dual-channel ABS.

Furthermore, there’s a bigger 17-litre fuel tank while the stock seat height has gone up to 825 mm with the option to increase it to 845 mm.
