Quick News Highlights:

The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is a great machine for hitting trails, going off-roading, and even long distance touring. Could it become even more off-road focused? It seems so, as the upcoming Rally Edition of the ADV has been spotted testing on our shores. 

Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Rally Edition Spotted Testing details

The new off-road specific bits include a more upswept exhaust (compared to the one on the regular model) and it looks thicker as well, which should provide a more gnarly exhaust note. Staying at the rear, a new tail cowl can also be seen in the photos and the bike gets a flatter, single-piece seat as opposed to the split-seat setup on the regular Himalayan 450. Also spotted are tubeless cross-spoked wheels. At the front-end, the bike gets knuckle guards and while these details are not visible in these spy shots, we expect the Royal Enfield bike to get a raised handlebar and fully adjustable inverted fork as well.

The rest of the bike will most likely remain untouched and will be powered by the same 452cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine producing 40PS at 8,000rpm and 40Nm at 5,500rpm. It is paired to a 6-speed gearbox with a slip and assist clutch. A 43mm inverted fork with 200mm wheel travel and a monoshock with 200mm wheel travel form the suspension setup of the bike while the stopping the ADV is a 320mm front disc brake with a double-piston caliper and a 270mm rear disc brake with a single-piston caliper with switchable dual-channel ABS available as standard. 

The Himalayan 450 rolls on a 90/90-21 Ceat Gripp RE F front and 140/80 R 17 Ceat Gripp Rad Steel RE tyre setup. In terms of features, it gets a round, 4-inch TFT instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity and Google Maps navigation. The Rally Edition variant of the Himalayan 450 is expected to be launched sometime next year, and could command a premium over the standard variant.
