Royal Enfield has revealed the all-new Himalayan 450 at the EICMA show, which has kicked off today in Milan and its prices will be announced in India on November 24, followed by Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Americas. Our detailed ride review of the adventurer tourer will be out on Youtube on November 10 and it derives power from a new 452 cc single-cylinder DOHC liquid-cooled four-valve fuel-injected Sherpa engine.
It is good enough to develop a maximum power output of 40.02 PS at 8,000 rpm and 40 Nm of peak torque delivered at 5,500 rpm and is paired with a six-speed transmission with a slip and assist clutch as a standard fitment. Speaking about the insights that went behind the conception of the new Himalayan and the development process, CEO, B Govindarajan said,
“Before we started working on the new Himalayan, we rode with our consumers, and spoke to globetrotters, explorers, and athletes. With the help of these insights and our own experience, we decided critical DNA we needed to retain and a few we had to evolve on the
new Himalayan. The all new Himalayan 450 is mated with the Sherpa 450, liquid-cooled engine, a first of its kind from Royal Enfield.”
