      Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Fully Leaks Ahead Launch On 1st Nov 2023

      by

      Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 LeaksHimalayan 450 arrives at just the right time, as new threats emerge from rivals like upcoming Hero Xpulse 440 and possibly a 400cc Triumph ADV bikeRoyal Enfield has been proactive in introducing new products at regular intervals. This explains its dominance in middleweight segment. The next big launch will be Bullet 350 and Himalayan 450. Both have now leaked ahead of launch. We discussed the Bullet 350 new gen in a previous post. In this post, we will take a detailed look at the new Himalayan 450.Himalayan 450 design and featuresAll new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is a major upgrade from the existing 411cc Himalayan. While existing Himalayan is one of the preferred ADV options in domestic market, it hasn’t been able to deliver similar results across international markets. New Himalayan can probably do better with more power and a range of premium features.Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 LeaksAs compared to the existing model, new Himalayan 450 has evolved in both form and function. However, test mules have been spotted with a basic black paint all across. Some were also wrapped with plastic corrugated sheets and cardboard. It makes it difficult to visualize how appealing the bike will be in its final form. Or will it be in this same black finish in its final form.Royal Enfield is known to use exciting colour options and tantalizing graphics to create absolute masterpieces. In that context, it remains to be seen if Himalayan 450 can be just as aesthetically pleasing as rivals like KTM 390 Adventure. The potential is certainly there, as Himalayan 450 has a lean profile. While the bike has minimal panelling, styling possibilities exist around the headlamp cowl, suspension setup colour/casing, fuel tank and side covers.Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 LeaksIn addition to being aesthetically superior to the current model, new Himalayan also packs in a range of premium features. Some of these will be seen for the first time with a RE bike. For example, Himalayan 450 will have LED headlight and USD front forks. The new 450cc engine will have liquid cooling, as compared to the flagship 650 twins that feature oil-cooling.Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 LeaksOther key highlights of Himalayan 450 include round headlamp and rear-view mirrors, a large windscreen, raised front beak, side mounted racks, wire spoke wheels, split-seats and upswept exhaust canister. The bike is equipped with a large fuel tank, probably with a higher capacity. Existing Himalayan has a fuel tank capacity of 15 litres. A large fuel tank will come handy when riding across remote locations.Himalayan 450 performance, specsWhile official details have not been revealed, Himalayan 450 is expected to generate around 35 bhp of max power and 40 Nm of peak torque. This is significantly higher than the current model that produces 24.3 bhp and 32 Nm. New Himalayan will have better capabilities across both highways and off-road tracks. It is expected to be equipped with a 6-speed gearbox, with slipper and assist clutch. Existing Himalayan has a 5-speed gearbox.Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 LeaksHimalayan 450 will have 21-inch wheel at front and 17-inch wheel at rear. Royal Enfield will also launch Scram 450, which will have 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels. The bikes will have disc brakes at both ends, with dual-channel ABS. Himalayan 450’s ground clearance will be around the same as the current model that offers 220 mm. Launch is scheduled for 1st November 2023. Pricing and other details of new Himalayan 450 will be revealed then. More

The classic design, minimalistic panelling, step-up single piece saddle and liberal use of chrome are some of the key highlights of Bullet 350. It doesn’t seem appropriate to carry out any drastic changes on the bike. Especially when there are already other styling options available with products like Classic 350, Meteor 350 and Hunter 350. Bullet fans like the old-school look and feel, which will be continued with the new-gen version.However, users can expect improved ride dynamics with the new Bullet 350.

Users have noted wide ranging improvements with the new J-platform such as reduced vibrations and smoother power delivery.

It will have telescopic front forks and twin shock absorbers at rear. The bike has 19-inch wheels at both ends. Braking setup will comprise disc at front and drum brake at rear for entry variant while top variant will get disc brake in the front as well as at the rear. ABS will be standard.Royal Enfield Bullet 350 Brochure LeaksNew Royal Enfield Bullet 350 priceIt remains to be seen what kind of pricing strategy Royal Enfield utilizes for new Bullet. Before Hunter 350 was launched, Bullet was the most affordable Royal Enfield bike. Hunter 350 is currently available at a starting price of Rs 1.50 lakh. Such aggressive pricing is one of the key reasons why Hunter has emerged as the second best selling Royal Enfield bike. New Bullet 350 could be launched at a slightly higher price point, somewhere around Rs 1.60 lakh. (ex-sh) More

In terms of powertrain, Karizma XMR might boast higher displacement than its predecessor Karizma ZMR with 223 cc, but it is the most powerful and torqiest Hero bike ever.

One of the other possibilities is that TVS could be planning to start manufacturing this new BMW electric scooter at their plant.BMW CE02 Electric Scooter Spied In IndiaBMW CE 02 Styling and FeaturesThe BMW CE 02 is not your typical scooter. While it may not be conventionally beautiful, it commands attention with its youthful exuberance and rebellious spirit. One of the standout features of the CE 02 is the level of personalization it offers. Users have a wide range of customization options and accessories to choose from, allowing them to tailor the scooter to their unique tastes.[embedded content]But it’s not just about looks. BMW has ensured that riders can stay connected while cruising on their CE 02 electric scooter.

The single-battery version of the CE 02 weighs in at 119 kg and provides a range of 45 km with a top speed limited to 45 kmph. Notably, in many European countries, the single-battery version doesn’t require a license, making it an accessible and practical choice for urban commuting. However, in India, no-license electric scooters need to have their top speed limited to 25 kmph, which is worth considering for potential buyers.On the other hand, the dual-battery pack version weighs slightly more at 132 kg but offers a significantly extended range of 90 km. It generates 15 hp and can reach a top speed of 95 kmph. Charging options are versatile, with a standard 0.9 kW charger available. For those in a hurry, there’s a 1.5 kW fast charger. Charging time for the dual-battery pack version is approximately 5 hours 12 minutes with the standard charger and 3 hours 30 minutes with the fast charger.
