The Himalayan has not been on sale since April 1, 2017, the day BS-IV norms were implemented in the country. At that time, Royal Enfield had updated their website stating that fuel injection will be replacing carburettors in the Himalayan soon. Now, as per our sources, Royal Enfield has already started taking bookings for the EFI Himalayan model and the bike will be delivered by mid-August. It will cost roughly Rs 5,000 more (does not include GST effect) than the previous carburetted version. The Himalayan falls in the 350cc-plus category which is considered a luxury product as per the new GST rule and will suffer from the extra tax levied by the government now. It will attract 31 per cent tax instead of the 28 per cent that will be levied on bikes with smaller engines.
The Himalayan is currently the most affordable adventure tourer motorcycle in the country. The updated bikes will be powered by a 411cc fuel-injected engine which develops 25PS at 6500rpm and a peak torque of 32Nm at 4250rpm, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. A half-duplex split cradle frame underpins the Himalayan.
Suspension duties are handled by 41mm telescopic forks with 200mm of travel at the front and a monoshock unit with 180mm of wheel travel at the rear. Braking duties are handled by a 300mm disc brake with 2-piston floating calliper at the front and a 240mm disc brake with single piston floating calliper at the rear. The bike is shod with a 90/90 R21 tyre at the front and a 120/90 R17 at the rear. It gets a 15-litre fuel tank and weighs 191kg. A seat height of 800mm means it can accommodate average-sized riders too. The bike was priced at Rs 1.60 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

This versatile bike has proven to be the ultimate companion for both off-roading adventures and long-distance touring! With an impressive mileage of 45,000 kilometers, it has reliably taken me across diverse terrains and regions, consistently exceeding my expectations.
- Powerful And Classy
The bike is amazing both in feel and ride. Long distances don’t feel like it. The only issue is the heating of the bike while riding in the city, but on highways, it just feels amazing.
