Royal Enfield Himalayan

Royal Enfield Himalayan Overview

The Himalayan is aimed at riders who want an adventure motorcycle for weekend routes as well as everyday use. Its 452cc engine makes 39.47bhp and 40Nm, paired with a six-speed gearbox; that is more torque than the KTM 390 Adventure’s 33.5Nm. A 21-inch front wheel and 230mm ground clearance leave more room beneath the bike over uneven ground. Disc brakes at both ends and switchable ABS add braking safety.

The regular variants have an 825mm seat and weigh 196kg, while the Mana Black has an 860mm seat and weighs 195kg. Its 17-litre tank and 29kmpl claimed mileage are worth considering for running costs; the Zontes 350T claims 30kmpl. The Himalayan starts above both the KTM 390 Adventure and Zontes 350T. The KTM is lighter at 181kg and slightly more powerful at 40.93bhp, so the Himalayan’s appeal is its torque, ground clearance and larger tank rather than outright power or low weight.

• 40Nm of torque exceeds the KTM 390 Adventure’s listed 33.5Nm.
• 230mm ground clearance leaves more space beneath the bike over uneven ground.
• Switchable ABS lets riders turn ABS off when needed.
• A 17-litre tank holds more fuel than the KTM 390 Adventure’s 14.5-litre tank.
• The 4-inch TFT supports Bluetooth and map navigation.

Best for: Buyers seeking a high-clearance adventure bike with strong torque, switchable ABS and a large fuel tank, and who are comfortable with its weight and seat height.
