Adventurous Royal Enfield Himalayan unveiled

Royal Enfield is entering another market segment with its Himalayan adventure bike. Intended primarily for the Indian market, the new arrival combines a rugged design with comparatively simple technology that should be fixable by local mechanics.



Practical touches include protective gaiters on the front fork legs and a bash plate for the bottom of the cradle-type frame. Ground clearance is 220 mm (8.7”) but, unusually for this type of motorcycle, seat height is a reasonably low 800 mm (31.5”). Most riders will be able to manage the 182 kg (401 lbs) kerb weight, too.

Powering the Himalayan is an air-cooled, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine with a crankshaft counter-balancer to reduce vibrations. This carburettor-fed 411 cc unit – which develops a modest 24.1 bhp (18.0 kW / 24.5 PS) and 32 Nm (23 lb/ft) of peak torque – is mated to a five-speed gearbox.



Standard equipment includes luggage mounting points front and rear, an LED tail light and a single disc brake for each wheel. Mixing digital displays with traditional dials, the instrument cluster features a compass, dual trip meters and a fuel gauge for the 15 litre (3.3 gallon) tank.



The Himalayan is being offered in a choice of two paint colours called Snow and Granite.
