Here are the details on what the new 450cc Royal Enfield ADV brings to the table.

India Launch Date Confirmed

Royal Enfield has confirmed that the Himalayan 450 will officially launch in India on November 24th. Pre-bookings at Rs 5,000 are already open across the country. Though pricing is unrevealed, it is expected around Rs 2.5 lakh. The 450 revives Royal Enfield's presence in the middle-weight adventure segment left void by the 411's demise. 

With on/off-road versatility, the 450 competes against Hero XPulse 200 4V, KTM 250 Adventure and Bajaj NS200 Adventure. However, premium fit/finish may mean slight premium over rivals. Price reveal will confirm if Royal Enfield has struck the right balance of price and performance for loyalists. 

Enhanced Performance & Capability

At the heart of the Himalayan 450 is an all-new 450cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled fuel-injected engine producing 40hp and 45Nm torque. The motor promises to add extra grunt while retaining the 411's tractable nature. Mated to a 5-speed gearbox, the power-plant aims to deliver improved acceleration and cruising abilities compared to the 411.

Adding to the performance will be beefier components like better-tuned suspension and dual-purpose tyres. Upfront is a more adjustable long-travel telescopic fork while the rear gets a preload-adjustable monoshock. The 21-inch front and 17-inch rear spoke wheels come wrapped in dual-sport oriented knobby tyres. With its improved spec-sheet, the Himalayan 450 is positioned as a highly capable middleweight ADV for off-road exploration and commuting versatility.

Feature-Rich & Refined

In terms of features, the new Himalayan 450 will pack in quite a few segment-first goodies. The ADV tourer will come equipped with a digital-analog instrument cluster integrating navigation. Adding to comfort will be a two-stage heated seat for cold weather riding.

Royal Enfield has also worked on refining the overall fit and finish. The 450 uses improved switchgear and comes painted in unique dual-tone color options. While retaining its characteristic rugged appeal, the new model aims to feel more premium in terms of quality and refinement.
