    The Royal Enfield Himalayan was the motorcycle that kick-started the affordable adventure touring genre in India in 2016. Despite the arrival of new rivals, it continues to outshine them as an all-rounder. RE has ironed out the majority of the issues that plagued the first-gen motorcycle, but brakes still remain an Achilles heel. It is one of the sweetest motorcycles in the sub-Rs 5 lakh category for pillion comfort. The seat is well-padded and roomy, with the footpegs being positioned just right for a long day looking over your rider’s shoulder, and the felted seat feels wonderfully premium, too. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

    It’s a great motorcycle and there are aftermarket seat options if you find it’s uncomfortable. A lot of the issues have been fix on these bikes now the 2023 model is a very good bike, the planned 450 will have its own issues at first no bike is perfect. Generally the end run bikes just before the now model is the bests and sometimes the cheapest as there’s discounts to shift the final stock !

    Himalayan is a big one so for short people its a problem in case of falling they cant touch there fit on ground easily also for big size people the sit is short but classic 350 is a different segment. You cant comare this with Himalayan. If you need big bike but with pillion big seat then gs310, and ktm 390 adv also there

  • Adventures with My Royal Enfield Himalayan

    The Royal Enfield Himalayan has been my faithful companion on many adventures since the day I bought it. Designed for both the highways and the hilly terrains it has lived up to its name. The 411cc engine provides enough power (24.3 bhp and 32 Nm of torque) to tackle almost any road or lack thereof. Its average fuel efficiency of around 30 kmpl strikes a good balance between performance and economy.What impresses me the most is its off road capabilities coupled with comfort. Whether it has a long highway stretch or an unpaved mountain path the Himalayan takes it on with ease.

  • Adventure Companion: Royal Enfield Himalayan

    After months of waiting I finally got my hands on the Royal Enfield Himalayan. It has been a year of riding through cityscapes and rugged terrains and here is my long term user perspective. The Himalayan with its 411cc engine, delivering 24.3 bhp and 32 Nm of torque is a beast on the roads and a reliable partner off them. Its suspension and seat comfort stand out making long rides a breeze.However it is not without its down points. The weight (199 kg) can be a bit much to handle for new riders specially in city traffic.

  • best looks with unlimited features

    Royal Enfield Himalayan is such a marvellous bike model that has become so popular these days for its convenience and smooth operation. So many people have this bike on their wishlists and so did I and that is why I went to purchase this as soon as it was launched. Its price will range between high numbers and is great besides being a bit expensive. The mileage is good and so is the ground clearance. I have got the jet black colour bike which looks quite attractive.
