Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Should I choose another bike other than Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 due to its ground clearance?
  • Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 features a ground clearance of 145mm. Comparatively, the ground clearance is 2mm lower than that of 250 Duke, however, these figures don't mar the sporty cafe racer’s appeal at all. While riding, the Vitpilen feels fluid and all the more enjoyable because of the plush suspension. It may be because you tread with a bit more caution on the cafe racer and the higher load on the front wheel makes it feeling more plush and absorbent. For a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

  • First of all the GC is around 135mm and not 145mm. Secondly, it's not a problem with the bike it's a problem with the Indian roads so changing is never going to solve your problem. Better get your desired bike and drive little smart. I gave these issues in the beginning but later on learned to avoid these high breakers by some simple manuevers like side crossing and slowing down before bumps
  • Yes, If good ground is your preference and you also intrested in occasional off roading.

    Scandinavian Elegance and Dynamic Performance 

    The HUSQVARNA VITPILEN 250 is a beauty and must have adapted to riders' tastes across Scandinavia and the world, offering riders interested in unique riding experiences the precision and performance they want. The specialness of the car is celebrated by customers, with its spacious interior, powerful engine and mini power, and modern design being among their favourite features. Further upgrades such as LED lighting, ABS, and a slipper clutch impart a sheen on its attractiveness. # On the other hand, they also indicate a number of issues such as short seat comfort for long rides, and also adding to the efficiency in fuel use for longer journeys

    Embracing Scandinavian Style 

    Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 is a nifty work of art, casting modern minimal design with the powerful 250cc engine and the classy look. With its slim chassis and agile handling these car models are real fun to drive both in town streets and twisty roads. The 250cc Vitpilen’s premium components include WP suspension and Bosch ABS, which guarantees not only a smooth riding experience but also the safety of the rider. On the other hand, the fact that it comes with a forward leaning riding position might be not so comfortable on long rides and the paucity of wind shielding could become a setback when using it on the highways. In general, it is a dynamic and function-rich machine which gets you through the hardest rides, keeping you full of self-assurance and good mood

    End torque 

    Here are my thoughts on the upcoming royal enfield himalayan 450 motorcycle: overall features and stylingfrom what i've seen so far, The himalayan 450 retains the rugged, Adventurous styling of the current himalayan 411 but with some nice upgrades.The exposed frame and off-road oriented design are still there, But the 450 adds some sharper lines and a more muscular fuel tank for a modern look.Some key features include switchable abs, A tripper navigation pod, And an lcd display with turn-by-turn navigation.These are great features for an adventure touring bike.The styling strikes a good balance between rugged and refined.Expectationsi'm expecting the 450cc engine to provide a noticeable power bump over the 411cc motor in the current himalayan - perhaps around 30hp.This should make cruising at highway speeds more relaxed while still delivering excellent low-end torque for off-road riding.The weight is also reportedly lower, Which should improve handling.Overall, The 450 looks like a nicely improved evolution of the proven himalayan platform.My expectations are high for a more powerful, Lighter and feature-rich middleweight adventure tourer.Likelihood of purchasei'd say there's a good chance i'll seriously consider purchasing the himalayan 450 when it becomes available.It hits a real sweet spot in terms of power, Capability and price.The addition of navigation, Abs and other features make it an even more well-rounded package.As an experienced adventure rider currently without a middleweight tourer in my garage, The royal enfield ticks a lot of boxes for my needs and budget.Unless reviews reveal any major flaws, I could see myself purchasing a himalayan 450 in the future as my main adventure touring motorcycle.It looks like an excellent value proposition in the segment.

    Awesome Bike 

    The Enfield Himalayan is an outstanding bike, known for its light and easy-to-ride nature. The convenience of the self-starter eliminates the need for kick-starting, and the effective side stand makes parking effortless. The digital central console is user-friendly and easy to read. While designed primarily for off-road applications, its ride handling on city roads is commendable. The bike's rugged and distinctive appearance adds to its appeal, and the engine springs to life effortlessly with the self-start button. Smooth and easy gear shifts enhance the overall riding experience. The Himalayan is not only easy to handle but also versatile, suitable for both city commuting and off-road adventures. Although yet to be taken on the highway for off-road travel, it stands out as a great bike that excels in both urban and adventurous settings.Royal Enfield has successfully delivered a winner in this segment, offering an affordable option that is truly impressive. A potential owner myself, I am drawn to its overall greatness.
