Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Tubeless Spoke Wheels See Major Price Hike
The wheels cost almost Rs 30,000 more than before!
Quick News Highlights:
-
The new price is for existing Himalayan owners looking to upgrade to these wheels as an accessory
-
Bundled price with a new Himalayan remains unchanged at Rs 11,000
-
Cross-spoke wheels continue to be offered in black, black olive, and gold with no price difference
Royal Enfield has revised the pricing of its cross-spoke, tubeless wheels for the Himalayan 450, making it significantly costlier for existing customers looking to upgrade. Initially launched at Rs 12,424 as an accessory upgrade, they now have been priced at Rs 40,645 - which is an increase of Rs 28,221.
For those buying a brand-new Himalayan 450, the story remains different. The bundled price of the cross-spoke wheels continues at Rs 11,000 when ordered along with the bike. This means first-time buyers are not affected by the price hike, keeping the upgrade an attractive option during purchase.
Royal Enfield had originally introduced the tubeless cross-spoke wheels to offer adventure riders better convenience and durability over tube-type wheels, especially for long-distance touring. The pricing at launch was seen as highly competitive and even cheaper than most aftermarket solutions available at the time.
The price revision now makes the upgrade a costly affair for existing owners. However, the company has not introduced any changes to the product itself. The wheels remain available in three colours: black, black olive, and gold - all priced the same regardless of choice.
The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is powered by a 452cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine making 40PS, 40Nm, and a six-speed gearbox with a slipper-clutch. It has long-travel Showa suspension on both ends, a steel twin-spar frame, a 21-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel setup, and dual disc brakes. Features include a circular TFT console with navigation, riding modes, switchable rear ABS, and ride-by-wire.
Priced between Rs 2.85 lakh and Rs 2.98 lakh (ex-showroom Chennai), the Himalayan 450 is available in five colour options: Kaza Brown, Slate Himalayan Salt, Slate Poppy Blue, Kamet White, and Hanle Black.

- 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
- Himalayan 450 the beast with ups and downsI 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 bikeRead More5 3
