The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Mana Black Edition has been launched in India, at the brand’s yearly motorcycle festival in Goa, Motoverse 2025. True to its name, drawn from the village of Mana on the Indo-Tibetan border, this new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 variant carries a distinctively rugged aesthetic. It is priced at Rs 3,37,036 (ex-showroom, Chennai), making it Rs 17,354 more expensive than the previous top-end Hanle Black edition. Here’s everything you need to know:
What’s New?
The all-black colour palette is complemented by dark-grey graphics and other elements that add to its adventure intent. Key changes include factory-fitted knuckle guards with aluminium brace, a rally-style flatter seat raised to 860mm (825mm on standard bike), a flared tail section, tubeless tyres with cross-spoke wheels. Lastly, the kerb weight is now 195kg – 1 kg lighter than before.
Royal Enfield has also offered the bike with a custom exhaust from Arrow, but this is only for the European markets. For a more detailed breakdown of the differences, you can check out our explainer here.
What’s The Same?
Hardware like the 452cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, 6-speed gearbox, assist-and-slipper clutch, steel tube frame, box-section swingarm, braking hardware, suspension, wheel sizes (21-inch front, 18 rear), dual-purpose tyres, 230mm ground clearance – all remain unchanged from the regular bike. Note that the tyres are tubeless, now that the spoke wheels can accommodate them.
Even features like the circular TFT console with Bluetooth, full Google Maps navigation, phone alerts, music controls; and the ride modes, ABS modes, all-LED lighting – are all carried over.
BikeDekho Says
The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 was already a strong contender in the 450-500cc adventure bike segment against rivals like the KTM 390 Adventure. But, with the Mana Black Edition, the Chennai-based brand has delivered a version that needs fewer aftermarket tweaks to have fun off-road. This factory-equipped, rally-ready variant checks many of the right boxes for those riders who want to go off-road straight from the showroom. The premium is also very reasonable considering the fact that buying those tubeless spoke wheels separately will cost you a lot of money. We just wish the weight was reduced further. The Mana Black can be booked for purshase or test ride at your nearest Royal Enfield dealership or through the brand's online portal.

- Royal Enfield as bought a amezing bikeAm 6.1 height so i need comfort, maintenance cost, features and style is so good, performance wise amazing and torque in 6th gear is next level. I bought this bike for a long drive and as well as city riding. Stress less ride, the variation in weight is due to the additional touring and safety features equipped on the top-end model. Here is a quick breakdown. Totally the bike is crazy i ride this bike continuously for 500km. For ADV lover one of the best bike. I would like to recommend this bike who has a passion in off-road they can buy with any second thoughts and style is so good performance wise amazing. But service is disappointed in some service station.Read More1

- 2 years review of Royal Enfield Himalayan 450Purely because of Royal Enfield reliability Upgrading from a 2015 classic 350 to Himalayan 450 is a massive difference, Literally is built for no roads. Feels like a bigger bike compared to previous generations. Bigger tank unlocks better highway travels. Positive about the bike is the Ride has been the smoothest the engine is very responsive in a good way. It is aggressive when you need it to be the plush suspension lets you move on and off road freely without any issues. Can be easily managed in traffic. Really good on the highways excellent seat comfort for the rider and the pillion for city travel as well as long highway travelling. Can be used as a daily commuter bike in city Negative about the bike Should have had the option for cruise control and quick shifter for better riding experience. I will definitely recommend this bike to the person who can firstly handle such a tall and heavy bike With great power comes great responsibility so if it is going to the first ever bike i will recommend to start riding the bike in eco mode to first get a hang of power and throttle responseRead More5 2
- Best in the classI'm kinda adventures and I do a lot of touring and cover a lot of kms. wanted service centres in case any issue with the bike. Parts are easily available also wanted a bike with comes in my budget and doesn't not bleed me when it comes to service. Hence, this bike serves all my purpose. Rides fantastic, the build quality is amazing, it's comfortable for covering long distances in one go and the suspension, I have no worlds for it. It's glides over roads or no roads without any issues. Its just the best in this class when it comes to comfort. Yes, I will recommend the bike for sure it has taken me places where i could only dream off. From north to east from east to the west, and west to the south just riding without any issue. Close your eyes and go for it.Read More2 1
- Himalayan 450 review after riding it for 500kmsThe himalayan 450 got such a rally style design which I love it. It got the good school design with a modern twist which looks fabulous. It can take anywhere around on road or off road, the performance of the bike is really good. The bike has good amount power and I'm satisfied with what I got. When you are riding the bike it's really comfortable around the city roads with dumps and pot holes, you don't feel those dumps and potholes due to the suspension which is not adjustable but does the job. The performance of the bike is fabulous, the bike got enough power and torque to go around anywhere. The only downside is weight of the bike which is mostly front heavy, its a big deal to move the bike around while not riding. Yes absolutely, I recommend this bike for touring and off-road enthusiasts. However this bike can be used a daily commuter but one should keep in mind that the bike gives you around 19 to 21 kms mileage per litre. It's such a capable off roading machine, it got nice infotainment cluster packed with features. Finally I would say that the Royal Enfield hit a sweet spot with this machine.Read More1 2
