The new Himalayan 450 has been launched and test rides have also begun in some cities. If you want to purchase this bike, you will need to visit the showroom for a test ride in your city. The company has discontinued the old Himalayan 411 and introduced the new Himalayan in its place.
The price for purchasing this bike ranges up to 2.84 lakh rupees, which is the ex-showroom price for its top model. The new Himalayan 450 will directly compete with the BMW G310GS and KTM 390 Adventure in the adventure segment.
Booking for the Himalayan 450 has already begun from 24th November, and deliveries are expected to start from this month. Company officials have said that they are making efforts to deliver the bike to customers in the shortest possible time. This means that you will need to book the Himalayan 450 at least a month in advance for purchasing, although this situation is expected to normalize after some time.
Since this is an adventure bike, it can be used for off-roading with great ease. The bike is equipped with 43 mm upside-down front forks and 200 mm adjustable monoshock suspension. Both tires have disc brakes for braking purposes. It also has switchable ABS (dual-channel anti-lock braking system), which enhances safety and is crucial for off-roading.
The new Himalayan has added several features that were not present in the previous model. These include LED headlamps, Google map navigation, riding modes, LED turn signals, TFT instrument console, USB charging port, tall transparent windscreen, ride-by-wire throttle, and a split seat. Royal Enfield has confirmed that they will not update the Himalayan 411, which means that they will have a single variant.
If you are also passionate about off-roading and are planning a long ride in the coming days, then you can consider the Himalayan 450. A test ride can also give you an estimate of the bike’s capabilities.
