The ADV’s design will be a departure from Enfield’s general styling
Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 LC Teased, Launch Later This Year highlights

Royal Enfield has teased the upcoming Himalayan 450 LC on its official social media handles. The 450cc bike is expected to debut sooner than expected.

While the design language of the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 LC is rather different from the current Himalayan, it still retains slightly old school aesthetics. Prominently in the teaser, the ADV can be seen flaunting a new LED headlight (a first for Enfield) in the same circular retro manner.

Apart from that, the turn indicators on the teased bike look slightly bigger as opposed to the current Himalayan, and could also be LED units. You can head here to check out our analysis of the bike based on the recent spy shots.

Powering the Himalayan 450 LC will be a 450cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine, again a first for Royal Enfield. In terms of performance, we expect the ADV to produce power and torque figures similar to its primary rival, the KTM 390 Adventure which has an engine that makes 43.5PS and 37Nm.

Another first for Enfield is the double cradle frame with a bolt-on subframe that the Himalayan 450 LC flaunts. It also features a USD fork and a swingarm-mounted monoshock suspension setup, a departure from the current Himalayan’s telescopic fork and link-type rear suspension. 

For braking, the new ADV will get discs at both ends with dual channel ABS as standard. The bike rolls on the same 21-/17-inch wire-spoke wheel setup.

While we initially expected the Himalayan 450 to arrive sometime in July 2023, the ADV is likely to be unveiled at the EICMA and could be launched much sooner, expectedly in November at the Rider Mania 2022. The bike is likely to bear a price tag of Rs 2.80 lakh (ex-showroom), and will go up against the likes of KTM 390 Adventure and the upcoming Hero XPulse 400.
