Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 ADV Digital Display - All Details
Recently, numerous spy shots of the Himalayan 450 have surfaced online. RE is testing it on the road extensively in a production-ready form. However, its digital speedometer design and display layout has been spied on closely for the first time. In the latest photos, it is visible that the round digital display of it will get a neat layout. The backlit is black while the tachometer runs along the circumference of the single-pod. Additionally, it shows that this pod will showcase multiple vital information to the rider. As visible, it'll get a tripmeter, speedometer, gear position indicator in the middle of it, etc. We also suspect that RE shall offer Average Fuel Economy and multiple riding modes on it.
Also, the switchgear looks neatly done on the handlebar. However, there are a few changes to the button design. Meanwhile, the rear end is now clearly visible with its unique LED indicators embedded with LED brake lights. If you look closely, the speedometer also shows a redline of 9,000 RPM. This indicates that the new 450cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine will be a high-revving unit. Thankfully, it'll then dissolve the issue of the lack of highway performance of the current model. Meanwhile, the fuel tank design is large as well as sculpted; indicating that it might be the biggest fuel tank on any RE bike ever.
Verdict
The upcoming Himalayan 450 can be considered the most-awaited motorcycle of 2023. The Himalayan brand is well-established in the global markets. Hence, RE is trying to make sure that there are slim to no glitches on the latest model. As far as the online rumours go, its global debut is expected to take place around September'23. This means that RE will launch it in India before the upcoming festival season. A new engine, new electronics, & new features will result in a price increase. The suspected launch price of the Himalayan 450 could be around Rs 2.75 lakh to Rs 3 lakh. Its direct rival in India is KTM 390 Adventure & BMW G 310 GS.
