Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Details
The new Himalayan is going to be bigger, more powerful, & tech-rich as compared to the current bike. The test mules of it have been spotted from time to time in the past. As expected, it will have a redesigned chassis hence bigger dimensions to accommodate a bigger engine. However, the base design seems to be carried forward from the current bike itself. It has been designed in the typical ADV style.
As seen on the test bikes in the past as well, the front has a round LED headlight. The turn indicators are LED as well. A long travel suspension maybe with adjustable USD forks has been used. RE has also fitted a long beak at the front providing it a complete rally-spec outlook. Meanwhile, the windshield looks similar to the current-gen bike. However, it is a test bike hence we may not predict that it is the final equipment.

Engine & Specifications
The talking point of the new Himalayan is its bigger engine. Rumors have it that it will feature a 450cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. The power figures of it are also suspected to be around 40 bhp. If this happens, it will have an upper hand over its rivals like the KTM Adventure 390. Additionally, a 6-speed gearbox, multiple ride modes, digital infotainment screen, and traction control are also expected.
We suspect that the launch of it may take place during the upcoming festive season. The launch price is likely to remain around Rs 2.5 lakh range.
