Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Specifications Leaked Ahead Of Launch
It is heavier, but also a lot more powerful than the current Himalayan 411
If your week hasn’t been very exciting, we are here to spice it up with some exclusive information we got our hands on. One of the most anticipated bikes of this year, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is set to launch soon, and the homologation documents of the same have leaked, revealing some spicy details.
Firstly, the most exciting bit – the engine. The adventure bike gets an all new 451.65cc liquid-cooled engine making 40PS. You heard it right, this one is a proper modern adventure bike making an impressive amount of power, just 3PS less than the KTM 390 Adventure. We expect it to make around 40-45Nm, focussed more on bottom-end performance.
Now we also know some of the dimensions of the bike, which you can check out below.
Coming to the weight of the bike, the homologation document mentions that the bike’s gross weight is 394kg. Considering that the new Himalayan 450 will have a loading capacity of 180kg (approx), the kerb weight of the ADV would come to around 210kg.
Yep, that is quite heavy for an adventure bike, however, with its really long wheelbase of 1510mm, the bike should be extremely stable at high speeds on the highways. For reference, the KTM 390 Adventure has a wheelbase of 1430mm. Now, of course, running tight trails will be quite a task on the new Himalayan, but should still be great on faster off-roading terrain – courtesy the 21-/19-inch wheel setup, riding stance, and suspension.
We expect the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 to debut in the coming months, likely to coincide with this year's Rider Mania event, slated for November 24-26. It could come bearing a price tag of approximately Rs 2.8 lakh (ex-showroom) and will rival 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 More2
- 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.
