                Pros & Cons

                • Pros
                • Cons
                • Royal Enfield Himalayan 450

                  • Exciting performance
                  • Suspension offers a really comfortable riding experience
                  • Agile and nimble handling characteristics; handles corners really well
                  • Can handle off-road trails very easily
                  • Fully digital TFT instrument console with Google Maps navigation
                  • Gets tubeless spoke wheels as optional

                  Yamaha MT-03

                  • Engine performance is flexible enough to allow for slow city commutes and fast highway rides
                  • Great handling - feels light, changes direction quickly and feels stable when leaned too
                  • Design - the LED headlight looks aggressive and the MT-03 has that overall feel of a sporty and compact streetfighter
                • Royal Enfield Himalayan 450

                  • Google Map navigation on TFT requires you to keep the Royal Enfield app open at all times, which heats up the phone and drains the battery quickly
                  • Engine has a lot of vibrations, could have been more refined

                  Yamaha MT-03

                  • Cramped seat - no space for taller or larger riders to move around
                  • Firm suspension - suspension kicks back when ridden over really bad roads and even the slightly bad roads aren’t absorbed all that well
                  • Lack of features - ABS and a basic fully-digital console is all that it has. Misses out on a slip-and-assist clutch, quickshifter, traction control and even Bluetooth connectivity - things that its competition have
                  • Extremely expensive price tag

                  Himalaya 450 is best for
                  Himalaya 450 is best for off roading and it has a very high ground clearness. We can use it for long rides, mountain trips and for daily use also. It has a classic and decent look. Such an amazing off roading bike with low coast and high performance. You can buy it on your own intense. In my point of view it value for money.

                  Himalayan 450 review
                  It has got a great styling, great comfort and a beast in off-roading in this budget segment. The looks are crazy and the seats are decent enough for adequate cushioning, The console has got a digital cluster which has a ton of features, also it has a great comfort while riding also for the pillion rider, overall a great bike to choose in this budget segement.
