Revealed: New Royal Enfield Himalayan

February 3, 2016 by Jim Gorde Leave a Comment

The all-new Royal Enfield Himalayan is here and the latest adventure-touring motorcycle promises hard-core performance off the beaten path.

The Himalayan sports a fixed round headlamp with a wind-screen that will help in the mountains, especially when the cold winds are feeling particularly playful. The info-console in a digital-analogue affair with more needles than before with a more contemporary visual delivery of information. The high handlebars, stepped seat and luggage rack will make life a lot easier for the tourers.

An all-new engine comes in featuring the first overhead camshaft layout in a while (the better half of half-a-century). Displacing 411 cc, with a 78-mm bore (eight more than the 350, six less than the 500) and an 86-mm stroke (four less than the norm), it promises to rev higher – as much as 7,500 RPM. The air-and-oil-cooled engine delivers 24.5 PS at 6,500 RPM, with 32 Nm of torque peaking between 4,000 to 4,500 RPM.

Suspension duties are handled by a 41-mm front fork with 200-mm travel. There’s a 21-inch front wheel wrapped in 90/90 dual-purpose rubber. This is also Royal Enfield’s first monoshock-laden bike, placing a 17-inch rear wheel with a 120/90 tyre. All these specifications are reminiscent of the larger adventure bikes we’ve become familiar with over the past two years.

All and all, it’s great to see an all-new offering from such an iconic brand. The launch is slated for this month, with the price expected to be around the Rs 2 lakh mark. We can’t wait to get our hands on the Himalayan and give you all the dope. Watch this space.

In recent years, however, the MT-10 has begun to show its age, especially in terms of technology and rider aids. It was always on the thirsty side, too, and, by modern standards, the brakes were lacking. It was time for an update, which is why for 2022 Yamaha introduced a new MT-10 earlier this year.
