The Himalayan price is introductory and valid till December 31st, 2023, bookings are open
In a grand launch at the Motoverse festival in Goa, Royal Enfield has introduced its latest offering, the all-new Himalayan adventure motorcycle. Priced at an introductory rate of Rs 2.69 lakh (ex-showroom), the 2023 Himalayan is set to make waves in the adventure biking community. The introductory pricing is valid until December 31st, 2023.
The new Himalayan is available in three enticing variants – Base, Pass, and Summit – each catering to different rider preferences and needs. Notable among its features is the inclusion of an advanced colour TFT dashboard that can be seamlessly paired with smartphones. Developed in collaboration with Google, the dashboard offers comprehensive navigation capabilities.
Equipped with a powerful 451cc liquid-cooled engine, codenamed Sherpa 450, the Himalayan boasts Royal Enfield’s first-ever liquid-cooled motor. Delivering 40.02bhp and 40Nm of torque, the engine provides a dynamic riding experience. The power peaks at 8,000rpm, while torque is available at 5,500rpm. The 6-speed gearbox with a slip-and-assist clutch ensures smooth transmission.
Aesthetically pleasing and technologically advanced, the Himalayan comes with all-LED lighting as standard, integrating the taillamp into the indicators for a sleek look. The motorcycle features three distinct riding modes: Eco, Performance with rear ABS on, and Performance with rear ABS off, offering versatility for various terrains.
Designed for off-road enthusiasts, the Himalayan sports 21-inch front and 17-inch rear wire-spoke wheels wrapped in robust off-road rubber. The braking system, courtesy of ByBre, includes a single 320mm front disc and a 270mm rear disc, both equipped with dual-channel ABS. Showa suspension on both ends provides an impressive 200mm of travel, complemented by a substantial ground clearance of 230mm.
Riders can tailor their experience with an adjustable standard seat, offering a height range of 825mm to 845mm. An optional lower seat is also available, accommodating heights from 805mm to 825mm. The motorcycle features a 17-litre all-metal fuel tank and weighs in at 198kg with a full tank.
Bookings for the 2023 Royal Enfield Himalayan are now open, and the company is offering Genuine Motorcycle Accessories (GMA) for the model. These accessories, categorised into Adventure and Rally, will be priced separately and details will be disclosed at a later date.
