    Quick News Highlights

    • OrMotors from France has built a custom motorcycle for the ‘Dust Trail’ event

    • The bike is based on the new Himalayan 450

    • Gets upgraded performance parts, underpinnings and a bigger fuel tank

    Ormotors France, has built a custom motorcycle based on the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 named Hima 450 and gets red coloured base body panels along with brandings from its sponsors. The red colour of the bike is complimented well by the white graphics and golden coloured wheels. The custom bike with all of its upgrades gets more performance, more capability and massive range to conquer the offroad trails.


    The Hima 450 gets a rally bike inspired design with a tall-front tower with upgraded lighting setup. The bike now gets a new fuel tank from Acerbis with 23 litres of fuel capacity, which gives the bike a massive range of 700km along with a bulkier and muscular look. The Hima 450 also gets upgraded protection with an Acerbis bashplate and fork guards. Additionally, the bike is fitted with the Himalayan 450’s rally kit that includes a beak-styled front fender, slimmer tail section with a long single-piece seat for more offroad utility.

    The bike gets upgraded performance parts such as a PowerTRONIC FuelX Pro fuel injection optimizer  for a more aggressive power delivery necessary in offroad conditions. It also gets an upgraded DNA air filter along with a HP Corse exhaust.


    On the underpinnings front, the bike gets an upgraded inverted fork, giving it an additional 30mm of suspension travel and a new monoshock to make it more pliant and capable when offroading. The bike still retains the golden-coloured tubeless spoke wheels from the stock Himalayan 450 but gets upgraded knobby tyres from Continental tyres. With all these upgrades, the bike is now 21kg lighter than its stock counterpart and weighs just 175kg making it more manageable when riding offroad.

    The custom motorcycle, Hima 450, has been specifically built for the ‘Dust Trail’ off-road event happening in Portugal in April 2025. This custom motorcycle highlights the customization capabilities the Himalayan 450 offers and in the event, it will compete with bikes like the Honda Dominator and the Suzuki DR 350.

      2 years review of Royal Enfield Himalayan 450
      Purely 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 response

      Best in the class
      I'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.

      Himalayan 450 review after riding it for 500kms
      The 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.

      Himalayan 450 the beast with ups and downs
      I chose the Himalayan because it met my three main criteria.. it had been a brand new bike and it should be a Himalayan and I bought it with my own Money. Although 411 was discontinued the 450 was the perfect choice with fresh design and better power. The ride so far has seen its fair share of ups and downs. I had some issues with few service centre and met with a bad accident recently... But got a good service centre at last and got my bike fixed.. coming to the maintenance the cost is at a higher side but overall it's a great bike. I would like to break it in two parts as... Owing this bike you should have a good centre as that is where you will have some mental peace as if the service centre is not good then you will be in a constant fear for your bike..but yes keeping in that mind if you have a good service centre near you go for the bike

      As my riding style is a little off-road type. I usually don't look out for small potholes and like that so Himalayan is way too good for the indian roads. Good for touring and city ride. Can be easily manoeuvred through the traffic Rides been good. Can be easily managed. I have driven this for the distance at 400 km till in one day. Comfort was there but seat can be improved and weight is on the heavier side which is difficult to manage sometimes My height is 5.6 and I'm managing this bike good so the above ones can easily mange this bike and you'll love this bike. Yes I would definitely recommend this bike as this is also my first bike and first in our home
