The CEO of Eicher Motors (parent company of Royal Enfield), Siddhartha Lal, has officially teased a video on his Instagram handle of the upcoming Himalayan 450 being tested.

What’s New?
From what’s visible in the five-second clip, the bike seems like it’s being tested extensively, in an environment where it belongs: Bara-Lacha La Pass. The upcoming ADV gets an LED headlight, a first for the Chennai-based bikemaker. The indicators seem chunky, and it’s very much possible that they’re LED units as well.
Apart from that, the overall design of the Himalayan 450 looks similar to the current Himalayan. It gets a small windscreen and carries a slim profile. Previous images also revealed that the bike gets an inverted fork along with a swingarm-mounted monoshock, which is again a notable change over the current Himalayan’s link-type monoshock.
When Will It Be Here?
With this new test footage being officially revealed by Siddharth Lal, it’s clear that the Himalayan 450’s launch is a lot closer than what we thought. We suspect the bike will be unveiled at EICMA this year (which will take place between 8th and 13th November) and Royal Enfield could launch it at Rider Mania, which will take place towards the end of November.
Coming to the meaty part, the Himalayan 450 is likely to make about 40PS and 40Nm from its 450cc liquid-cooled engine. We expect Royal Enfield to price the bike around the Rs 2.80 lakh mark (ex-showroom) to pitch it against the likes of the KTM 390 Adventure and the upcoming Hero XPulse 400.

- This is better option for BIG GUYS.I chose this because i love going to mountains and travelling through dirt trails and since i wanted to travel across Himalayas the first option that came my mind was Himalayan 450 because my cousin had Himalayan 411 back then and he loved the experience so i thought same beast with extra power would be a great choice. Honestly everything is good and perfect as i had imagined, The comfort is good the abs is great suspension, perfect and the 17L fuel tank is absolutely perfect, I never feel the necessity to carry extra fuel with me. Yes, i would really recommend this bike to someone who is interested in travelling or doing long rides like ladakh, Warwan you can go to any offroad batch or destination in this bike and also this bike performs well on highway too.Read More4
- Himalayan 450ccI'm truly into adventurous and among tourer bike. I have like very few options and this one is far better among all bikes and it is very big good power and torque, good cc and it looks good on roads. Ride has been really good smooth, engine is great, suspension and stable highways, a bit heavy in city traffic, tough but on highways its so smooth and riding been fun on ghat roads too, like the rural area type. Yes, definitely its perfect for touring and weekend rides, if you mostly in the city it might feel too heavy, if you are tall there would be no problem for you but if you are short and basic, its not build for you.Read More3
- 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 More2 1
