Engine & Gearbox Details

The Royal Enfield Himalayan is powered by a 410cc, single-cylinder, air and oil-cooled carburetted engine that produces 24.5bhp@ 6500rpm and the peak torque is 32Nm @4000–4500rpm. The engine features a single overhead camshaft which is a first for Royal Enfield. The engine is paired to a 5-speed gearbox.

Suspension & Brakes

The Royal Enfield Himalayan features long travel front forks up front with 200mm travel and a monoshock with 180mm travel at the rear which help the bike handle the rough stuff with ease.

The Himalayan is brought to a stop with the help of disc brakes on both the 21-inch front wheel and the 18-inch rear wheel both of which are spoked rims. The front brake is a 300mm, 2-piston floating caliper disc and the rear brake is a 240mm single piston floating caliper disc.

Features

  • Counter balance is provided for engine to reduce vibrations
  • High ground clearance
  • LED Tail Lamp
  • Brand new half-duplex split cradle chassis built from the ground up by Royal Enfield
  • Altimeter and Compass
  • Mounts on the fuel tank for extra jerrycans
  • Mounts at the rear for luggage
  • Two colour options - Snow (White) and Granite ( Black)

Currently, the Royal Enfield Himalayan is the only adventure tourer under 500c available in the country and has no direct competitors. In the future, it could have a fight on its hands if KTM brings the 390 Adventure into the country.
