Royal Enfield Himalayan is a name that certainly needs no introduction, whatsoever. The brand is now ready to officially unveil the all-new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 at EICMA, Milan. The new model is expected to be replacing the outgoing Himalayan 411. That being said, the updated avatar of the adventure-touring motorcycle will rival the existing set of Himalayan’s rival – KTM Adventure 390, BMW G310 GS and more. Interestingly, the Royal Enfield has been sharing short clips of the upcoming adventure touring motorcycle across various social media platforms. Well, here’s all about the motorcycle.
Royal Enfield Himalayan 450: Design
First glance at the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is enough to understand that the theme for the design was function over form. It looks every-bit mechanical. Of course, it embodies the outgoing Himalayan 411 essence, and therefore, it looks like a proper evolution of the outgoing avatar of the motorcycle. The front dons a circular headlamp with a longer beak this time. The cage holding the headlamps and visor is used here as well. The tank, however, is beefier and larger this time, while the tail is all-new with tail lamps integrated into indicators.

The brand is also planning to offer two distinctive accessory packs for the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 – Adventure Theme and Rally Theme. Well, the former will include a taller visor, crash guards, panniers, top box, softer seat and more. The latter, on the other hand, will come with a rally seat, studier bash plate, rally rear fender, spoked tubeless rims and more.
