Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 (2024 onwards)

When Royal Enfield first introduced their adventure-oriented Himalayan motorcycle, everyone was amazed by its incredible price and lots of character. It has quickly become one of the best-selling models in the category. Almost a decade later, the company has decided to release a slightly bigger version of the bike.

The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 features a 452cc single-cylinder engine that is much more modern compared to the old one. It is the company’s first liquid-cooled engine and, thanks to its new technology, the motor is now 10 kg lighter than the predecessor. On top of that, you will also get a lighter chassis, and higher-quality suspension with the bike.

The Himalayan 450 is a great option for everyone looking for an affordable off-road adventure motorcycle that looks good, handles well, and has a lot of character.
