Fresh details on the upcoming Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 bike have been surfaced on the web. As per the leaked information, the bike will have a new 450cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine offering power around 40bhp and 45Nm of torque. Its torque characteristics are reported to be different from the existing Himalayan that comes with the 24.3bhp, 411cc engine. The new 450cc motor is expected to deliver better performance at high speed and generate good grunt during off-roading.
Unlike the RE Himalayan 411 that comes with a 5-speed gearbox, the new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 will have a 6-speed unit. The bike will offer three riding modes, namely – Road, Rain and Off-road. One must note that the ABS (antilock braking system at the rear wheel gets switched off whenever the off-road activated. The Ride-by-Wire system will also be on offer. It not only provides control over the air/fuel mixture, but improves fuel efficiency and lower emissions as well.
The report further claims that the Himalayan 450 will be equipped with a vertically positioned instrument cluster showring important riding data. The bike is likely to miss out on the full-colour TFT cluster. Compared to the current Himalayan, the new one will have bigger body panels and aggressively designed front. Features such as large mudguards, upswept exhaust and upside-down forks at the front will also be on offer. The model will ride on the 21-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels as we have seen on the Himalayan 411. Read: New-Gen Royal Enfield Bullet 350 – What To Expect?
The RE Himalayan 450 will come with luggage rack with payload capacity of 15kgs. The company will offer a range of accessories with the bike including multiple handlebar and handguard options, heated grips, soft luggage options and several hardware.
