| Expert Review | — | This motorcycle delivers a compelling blend of adventure-capability, modern tech and strong value. With its 452 cc liquid-cooled engine, genuine off-road hardware (21″ front wheel, long-travel suspension) and a smart feature set, it is very well suited for riders who want to explore highways and rough terrain. On the flip side, it’s heavy for urban commuting, vibrations still creep in, and it lacks some high-end rider aids (like traction control or cornering ABS) found on premium rivals. If your focus is touring, adventure rides and terrain-varied trips—and you’re comfortable with the size and weight—then the Himalayan 450 is a highly worthy buy. If most of your riding is in traffic-heavy city conditions or you favour nimble, ultra-light bikes, you might want to evaluate alternatives. In short: great pick for real adventure use, especially on Indian roads, but less ideal purely as a city commuter., 4, MotoAutiv Team |

| Overview Manual | — | The new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is more than just an updated version of the old Himalayan 411 — it’s a complete transformation of what an adventure motorcycle from Royal Enfield can be. Designed for riders who love exploring beyond paved roads, this bike represents a perfect balance between power, comfort, and endurance. It’s built to handle everything from daily commutes to high-altitude expeditions and challenging off-road trails. The Himalayan 450 has been engineered to take riders farther and deeper into unexplored terrain while offering the kind of reliability and comfort that long-distance touring demands. At the heart of the Himalayan 450 is the new 452 cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder Sherpa engine. This motor produces around 40 PS of power and 40 Nm of torque, giving the bike a strong mid-range punch that’s ideal for adventure riding. Whether you’re climbing steep mountain roads or cruising on highways, the engine feels smooth, refined, and responsive. The addition of liquid cooling ensures consistent performance in tough conditions like high altitudes or hot plains. A six-speed gearbox with a slip-and-assist clutch and ride-by-wire throttle adds to its modern character, allowing riders to switch seamlessly between relaxed touring and spirited riding. The bike also offers multiple ride modes and switchable ABS, giving more control across different terrains. Where the Himalayan 450 truly shines is in its ability to adapt to any environment. Built on a brand-new steel twin-spar frame, the bike offers impressive stability and balance. The long-travel suspension — with 43 mm upside-down forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear — ensures that the motorcycle glides over potholes, gravel, and rocky trails without losing composure. The 21-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels, combined with dual-purpose tyres, provide excellent traction on both roads and dirt tracks. With a remarkable 230 mm of ground clearance, the Himalayan confidently clears obstacles that would stop most street bikes in their tracks. Despite its 196 kg kerb weight, the bike feels surprisingly manageable once in motion, giving riders the confidence to take on demanding routes. Comfort and practicality are also at the heart of its design. The ergonomics are upright and relaxed, with a seat that can be adjusted between 825 mm and 845 mm to suit different rider heights. The bike feels comfortable for long hours in the saddle, and the 17-litre fuel tank provides a range suitable for extended journeys without frequent refuelling stops. Whether you’re riding solo or with luggage, the Himalayan 450 feels composed and ready to take on thousands of kilometres of adventure. Royal Enfield has also equipped this bike with modern technology to make every journey easier. The 4-inch round TFT display supports Google Maps navigation, smartphone connectivity, and media controls — features that make long-distance touring more convenient. Full-LED lighting improves visibility during night rides, and the USB Type-C charging port ensures your devices stay powered throughout your trip. Priced from around ₹3.05 lakh (ex-showroom), the Himalayan 450 offers remarkable value for its capability. It’s not just meant for highways or city use — it’s designed for real adventure. From the deserts of Rajasthan to the snowy passes of Ladakh, this motorcycle is capable of handling it all. The new Himalayan 450 isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a versatile, tough, and modern adventure companion built to conquer every landscape that India — and the world — can offer. |
