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
Aprilia RS 457
- Looks - looks sporty, aggressive and premium. Good build quality and sharp design mean it attracts a lot of attention
- Engine - lots of torque throughout the rev range makes commuting very easy. Quick overtakes even in a gear higher are effortless
- Tyres - the TVS Eurogrip Protorq Extreme tyres are fantastic both in dry and wet conditions, no complaints there
- Features - the TFT console is user-friendly and offers a lot of useful information
- Price - at Rs 4.10 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), it is the mo

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
Aprilia RS 457
- Riding posture - the clip-on handlebar is low-set and on the committed side, not the best for everyday commuting
- Firm rear suspension - the RS 457’s monoshock is on the firmer side and lighter riders will be tossed around a bit when going through potholes and sharp speed breakers
- Reliability - the RS 457 is coming out of a factory that’s never made a bike before so its reliability and how Aprilia handles its after-sales service is yet to be seen

Review about rs457
It is a preety good bike.The power to weigh ratio is absolute best. The service experience is quite good and I think it could be better.There is no vibration in this bike. Overall experience is very good With this price point. I think it should have come with a quick shifter normally not with the additional options.. That's it.
