Royal Enfield is likely to release a new 450cc bike, which is expected to launch in mid-2024 in India. The Roadster 450 motorcycle is based on the Himalayan 450 adventure bike. It is designed for city riding with comfort and safety.
Moreover, this Royal Enfield bike has been seen many times during spied testing in India. Spy shots reveal its sporty appearance, featuring a muscular fuel tank, wide handlebars, and rear foot pegs. Furthermore, after its launch, it will give tough competition to models like the KTM 390 Duke, Husqvarna Svartpilen 401, Triumph Speed 400, and TVS Apache RTR 310.
Let’s know more about the design, features and specifications of the Roadster 450 cruiser.
Roadster 450 bike stands apart from other naked streetfighters due to its classic design elements. This bike is likely to be fitted with a round LED headlamp, a tear-drop-formed fuel tank, a single-piece seat, and a stubby tail. Besides, it will have a similar chassis to the Himalayan 450, but it might have a different subframe.
The bike's styling prompts a traditional roadster feel, and spy images suggest it could feature modern comfort like a round TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity. The Roadster 450 is expected to feature Google Maps integration, different riding modes and ride-by-wire throttle.
The Roadster 450 will be powered by the engine found in the Himalayan 450. It comes with a 452cc liquid-cooled engine that delivers 39.47bhp @ 8,000rpm and 40Nm of torque @ 5,500rpm. Moreover, its engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox with assist and slipper clutch for smoother gear changes.
The bike will have a telescopic fork with gaiters at the front and a monoshock at the rear end. Also, it is expected to use 17-inch alloy wheels fitted with street-oriented tyres. This Royal Enfield bike has disc brakes at both ends with dual-channel ABS for enhanced safety.
Royal Enfield is a really old motorcycle company that started in 1893. They started by making bicycles and motorcycles for the British army. Moreover, their most famous bike was the Bullet, which they first manufactured in 1932. But now, the company has more than just the Bullet.
Some are sporty, like the Continental GT and Interceptor 650. Others are good for adventure, like the Himalayan. And there's the Meteor 350, which is more like a cruiser. This brand is known for bringing riders together through events and their official merchandise, creating a close-knit community.
