Upcoming Royal Enfield Himalayan 450: What The Latest Spy Images Reveal?
Having a keen look at the spy images, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 can be seen sporting an all-new round-shaped digital instrument cluster. This will most likely be an LCD unit.

Apart from this, we expect the Indian two-wheeler manufacturer to kit the ADV with smartphone connectivity features and this console will help in a better portrayal of the information. The leaked images also reveal that the upcoming Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 will be equipped with Showa upside-down forks.
