Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Expert Review
Royal Enfield bikes have always been about simplicity, and the new Himalayan 450 is all about keeping things simple. But that’s not just it; it is more powerful, more capable and all-in-all a more exciting adventure bike.
Looks, Feel & Quality
The new Himalayan is tougher and cooler than before. It has a bigger and more stylish fuel tank, kind of like the one on adventure bikes. The front fender looks like a beak, making it look even more adventurous. Despite its larger and more muscular appearance, it still keeps its simple and effective vibe, staying true to its unique character.
Power & Mileage
Let's talk about how the new Sherpa 450 engine (452cc and liquid-cooled) makes your adventures awesome. It's Royal Enfield's first liquid-cooled engine, and it's super cool! With 40 horsepower, it's strong, producing 40Nm power at 5500rpm—great for off-roading.
Staying true to the original Himalayan's idea of being easy to use, this engine is powerful but not scary. It's like a friendly sidekick, always ready for what you need. It may not be the smoothest, but it's easy and not afraid to go fast. They say it can go over 150kmph, perfect for touring.
We've only tested it in high altitudes and cold weathers, so a proper road test will tell us more about how it performs.
Suspension, Ride Quality & Easy of Riding
Even though the new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is bigger, with a longer wheelbase, higher ground clearance, and a 17-litre fuel tank, it has managed to lose 3kg. So now, it weighs 196kg. This makes it a light and nimble bike. It's easy to move around, almost like handling a 200-250cc bike because the weight is nicely balanced in the middle.
Brakes are super important for bikes, and the Himalayan nails it, whether you're on roads or off them. The front and rear brakes bite well and are smooth, making you feel confident to ride more intensely. The rear brake even has switchable ABS, so you can turn it off when you want to slide around a bit during off-road adventures.
Comfort
Comfort is a big deal for the Himalayan, and the new one keeps that tradition alive. It has a wide handlebar and a comfy seat that gives great support. The seat is taller now at 825mm, but you can adjust it to 845mm easily. There's even an optional seat that brings it down to 805mm for more riders.
The suspension, taken from Showa, makes your ride smooth and comfy on all kinds of terrain.
Off-road adventures are a breeze with the Himalayan. It stays stable and reliable, giving you the confidence to explore places where normal roads can't go. Despite being light, it stays steady, and the suspension with 200mm travel makes it awesome for off-road fans.
Features
The new Himalayan is Royal Enfield's coolest and most tech-savvy bike. The digital TFT screen is easy to see in any light, with two display options: regular and digital. It even has turn-by-turn navigation using Google Maps through a phone app. But do note that using your phone for navigation can drain the phone battery pretty fast.
Is The Himalayan 450 Worth Buying?
The new Royal Enfield Himalayan is like a trusty buddy, always there for you. It's easy to handle, forgiving, and good for riding on any kind of ground. It's hard not to appreciate how it keeps things simple, just like the first Himalayan.
To sum it up, it's a big improvement on an already great bike. The first one had some problems, but this new Himalayan 450 might change how you see Royal Enfield's early models.
And lastly, the introductory price of the Himalayan 450 is Rs 2,69,000 (ex-showroom Delhi), making the whole package a pretty sweet deal.
