Royal Enfield has launched the Himalayan — a motorcycle purpose-built for adventure and touring in the Himalayas. Bringing together 60 years of Himalayan riding experiences in a completely ground-breaking design and powered by a new LS 410 engine, Royal Enfield Himalayan paves the way for a purer, non-extreme and more accessible form of adventure touring in Nepal, as per a press statement.
Priced at Rs 561,000, Royal Enfield Himalayan is available in two signature colour options — granite and snow — and is open for booking at Royal Enfield’s exclusive distributor stores in Naxal and Balkumari. Royal Enfield has also launched protective riding gear range for long range tourer riding to unpredictable locations, terrains and climate.
For a brand that’s been selling its motorcycles in Nepal for a long time, Royal Enfield’s product lineup has always remained surprisingly focused on retro street machines. From border patrolling to milk delivery, Royal Enfield’s Bullet and Classic motorcycles have been used in almost every situation imaginable by the modern Indian biker, mostly thanks to their affordable pricing and relatively easy maintenance.
Meeting the Himalayan
The Himalayan is unlike any other Royal Enfield till date, with its tall stance, large windshield, modern instrument cluster with handy tools like a built-in compass, and plenty of mounting options to carry luggage.
There are some classic RE touches, like the round headlamp and a small tail light that bears some resemblance to that on the Thunderbird cruiser. In a first for Royal Enfield, the Himalayan is outfitted with a monoshock at the rear, which proved a godsend on the rough mountain roads we would encounter.
The engine, dubbed LS410, is a new 410cc powerplant which produces 24.5bhp and a healthy 32Nm peak torque at 4,250rpm, to help with tricky off-roading situations. The ground clearance is an impressive 220mm, a massive improvement on the 135mm on the low-slung Classic.
A huge 21-inch front tyre aids it in tackling uneven terrain with greater dexterity than its stablemates. What this means is that this tall bike can pose a few problems for shorter riders, especially while hauling it on the centre stand and getting on while it is raised to this position.
