2024 Royal Enfield Himalayan Review: Is it Ideal for Off-Roading Adventure?
2024 Royal Enfield Himalayan Review: Is it Ideal for Off-Roading Adventure?
CalendarPublished on May 19, 2024 by BikeJunction
In 2016, Royal Enfield launched the affordable adventure touring motorcycle, the Himalayan 411. Since then, it has gained a reputation amongst riders who've travelled across India on this bike. Moreover, the company commenced development on a newer model, the Himalayan 450 in 2017. The Sherpa 450 price in India starts from Rs. 2.85 to 2.98 Lakh in India. Let’s have a look at the performance review of the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450:2024 Royal Enfield Himalayan Review: New Features  The new Royal Enfield Himalayan stands out with its unique features that are designed to enhance the rider's experience and functionality. The company has prioritised simplicity and practicality. One such unique feature is the 4-inch circular TFT dash, which provides a clear and easy-to-read display. This RE bike may not include advanced tech like traction control or a quick-shifter.One of the practical additions to the 2024 Royal Enfield Himalayan is the combination of Google Maps into the display. However, it's essential to note that continuous map utilization can drain phone batteries quickly. Moreover, this first-rate Royal Enfield motorcycle has a 2A-type charger at the handlebar that permits riders to feel their gadgets at the cross.Royal Enfield introduces cross-laced spoked wheels supporting tubeless tyres, a first for an Indian manufacturer. They are currently available for models intended for export and will be introduced in India later.The bike features two riding modes, including Eco and Sport. Eco mode restricts power delivery in lower gears, making it less suitable for mountainous terrain. In Sport mode, throttle response is smooth but lacks immediate responsiveness at initial throttle application.2024 Royal Enfield Himalayan Review: Engine Performance  The key highlight of the 2024 Royal Enfield Himalayan is its new Sherpa 450 engine. This bike features a 452cc engine that delivers 40hp and 40Nm of torque. Notably, it features ride-by-wire technology.The Sherpa 450 engine offers a modern engine feel with a quick idle and distinct sound. Torque is generous, with 90% available from 3,000 rpm and peaking around 5,500 rpm.The Royal Enfield Himalayan engine exhibits a dual nature: it can smoothly navigate at low speeds without throttle input and delivers a progressive acceleration beyond 3,000 rpm. The Sherpa 450 offers an enjoyable performance across its rev range.2024 Royal Enfield Himalayan Review: Design & Variants In India, the Himalayan is available in one fully specced variant with five different colour options. Royal Enfield offers a range of well-designed accessories, including touring seats, hand guards, luggage options, and crash bars. Additionally, a Rally variant is planned with distinctive features like a flat bench seat and sportier tail section, available through Royal Enfield's online configurator at the time of purchase.Royal Enfield Himalayan design may not be the maximum conventionally attractive. However, it exudes a commanding avenue presence, especially inside the 'Slate Poppy Blue' colour scheme. Even elements like the saree guard, typically seen as cumbersome, are integrated better into the design.2024 Royal Enfield Himalayan Review: Hardware The new Royal Enfield Himalayan features a brand-new steel twin-spar frame. Moreover, the chassis integrates the engine as a stressed member, eliminating the need for a lower cradle and enhancing ground clearance. The bike retains 21-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels, now with a wider 140-section radial rear tyre for improved grip. The suspension setup includes a substantial 43mm USD fork and upgraded brakes.The sizable 17-litre fuel tank enhances the range and contributes to the bike's substantial feel and spacious riding position. However, the increased size may be less approachable for some riders, with a standard seat height of 825mm that can be adjusted to 845mm.On-road handling is a standout feature, with stability and agility combined for confident cornering. The bike remains composed of potholes and offers exceptional ride comfort. Off-road capabilities are equally impressive, with ample ground clearance, suspension travel, and controlled handling over rough terrain. Before you go, don’t forget to check out the recently launched Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z bike Follow us for the Latest Bike Industry UpdatesFacebook - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_offl_fbInstagram-  https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_insta          Twitter - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_twitter
