Weird Flex: This is The Royal Enfield Himalayan Update That We Should Have Got
The Hanway G30 250cc adventure tourer has been launched in China
The Hanway G30 250cc adventure tourer has been launched in China
Looks like the Royal Enfield Himalayan’s popularity has reached a point where it has grabbed the attention of the Chinese. Hanway, a two-wheeler manufacturer from the country, has just launched the G30, a 250cc adventure tourer.
As you can see, the bike is a shameless copy of the Himalayan, albeit with tweaks here and there. It comes in two variants: base G30 and the G30-X with tubeless-tyre-compatible spoke wheels and panniers. Prices start from 17,280 Yuan, around Rs 1.92 lakh.
The Hanway G30 is powered by a 249.2cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, churning out 26.5PS at 9000rpm and 22Nm at 7500rpm. The company claims a mileage of 32.2kmpl and a top speed of 128kmph, decent enough for a bike of its class. The engine nestles inside a double-cradle frame, linked to a 35mm inverted front fork with 120mm wheel travel (200mm on the Himalayan) and a rear monoshock with a 42mm stroke.
Unlike the 21-17-inch spoke wheel setup in the Himalayan, the G30 uses a smaller 19-inch front and a 17-inch rear unit. Interestingly, the brand offers optional spoke wheels that are compatible with tubeless dual-purpose tyres. These types of wheels are usually seen on premium ADVs such as the Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT. At 185mm, the ground clearance is 35mm lower than the Himalayan but the seat height is the same, at 800mm.
Feature-wise, the Hanway G30 is pretty loaded thanks to the all-LED lighting system, full-LCD twin-pod instrument cluster (a proper TFT screen in the higher-end variant), 5V 2A charging port, a generous 19-litre fuel tank, and dual-channel ABS.

At the end of the day, the Hanway G30 is a blatant imitation of the real deal: the Royal Enfield Himalayan. However, we think Royal Enfield could’ve taken a leaf out of Hanway’s book and offered a similar set of features as part of the updates on the 2021 Himalayan. That way, the 2021 iteration would’ve felt a bit more wholesome than before. What do you think?

Very well designed bike, low maintenance cost, best bike to have in this segment. Best for city travels and on adventure trips as well. Maintenance cost is very low, mileage is quite good, running is superb. This motorcycle owns its name and legacy of Royal Enfield and it’s not available to buy it new.
