Kochi-based bike modifications shop, Republic of Bikers has unveiled their latest build and it’s a Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 modified to be a gorgeous flat tracker. The bike is also the first Himalayan 450 to debut at the Kakkor mud race. Here’s the bike in action:
For this build, the Himalayan 450 has been stripped down significantly to reduce weight. At the front, the headlight, indicators and instrument console have been removed. The tank grills and crash guards have also been removed. The seat used is a custom race seat from Vendetta - The Project, a automotive design studio that specializes in building custom seats for motorcycles. Lastly, the tail section has also been shortened and the tail tidy that houses the tail light and indicators have been removed.
Additionally, the addition of a RaceDynamics FuelX Pro+ ECU have significantly improved the bike’s acceleration making it better suited for racing. Other modifications include Reise TorqR block pattern tyres for better grip on the dirt track.
The Himalayan 450 is the only ADV offering from Royal Enfield, it comes with a 452cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine dubbed Sherpa. The engine is the first liquid-cooled motor from Royal Enfield and it outputs 40.02PS and 40Nm.
It starts at an ex-showroom Delhi price of Rs 2,85,000. The one used for the build is the top-end Hanle Black, which costs Rs 2,98,000 (ex-showroom Delhi). The Himalayan 450 rivals KTM 390 Adventure, BMW G 310 GS, Yezdi Adventure and the upcoming Hero XPulse 400.
Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 User Reviews
- 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 More2
- 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 More6 2
