Royal Enfield has recently unveiled the pricing details for its all-new Himalayan 450, with introductory prices starting from Rs 2.69 lakh for the base Kaza Brown variant. The mid-spec Pass and the top-end Summit, available in Kamet White and Hanle Black, are competitively priced at Rs 2.74 lakh, Rs 2.79 lakh, and Rs 2.84 lakh, respectively. It’s crucial to note that these prices are introductory and applicable until December 31, 2023, and all mentioned prices are ex-showroom. Deliveries of the new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 are set to commence in the next 1 week.
Powering the 2024 RE Himalayan is the innovative ‘Sherpa 450’ engine, a new liquid-cooled, 452cc, single-cylinder powerhouse that produces a robust 40bhp and 40Nm. Remarkably, this powertrain is 10kg lighter than its predecessor, the LS 411 engine.
Paired with a 6-speed gearbox featuring a slip-and-assist clutch, the Himalayan 450 rests on a novel steel twin-spar frame, incorporating a 43mm USD fork and a 200mm preloaded adjustable monoshock rear suspension. The bike’s stock seat height measures 825mm, with the flexibility to be raised to 845mm or lowered to 805mm.
In addition to the Himalayan 450, Royal Enfield has also showcased the production-ready Shotgun 650 motorcycle in its factory custom avatar at the Motoverse. Limited to just 25 units, the Shotgun 650 shares its chassis and engine with the Super Meteor 650. The 649cc, air/oil-cooled, parallel-twin cylinder engine boasts power and torque figures yet to be revealed, reflecting its unique character with new pea-shooter style exhausts.
Equipped with a 6-speed transmission, the RE Shotgun is strategically positioned below the Super Meteor 650, with anticipated prices ranging between Rs 3.3 lakh and Rs 3.4 lakh (ex-showroom). Official prices are set to be unveiled in January 2024.
