Royal Enfield Introduces the 'RE Himalayan 450,' a new 450cc motorcycle with an LED headlight, turn-by-turn navigation, a 21-inch wire-spoke wheel, switchgear, an instrument console, and Bluetooth capabilities. The motorbike will have mono-shock units at the back and Showa USD front forks. The Himalayan 450 has dual-channel switchable ABS (anti-lock braking system) and front and rear disc brakes for braking and comes with a six-speed gearbox.
Additionally, Royal Enfield will build a second new motorcycle using the foundation of the new 'Himalayan 450.' The new motorbike will both use the same engine. It boasts a swooping spherical tank, a large single-piece seat, an LED lighting system, a liquid-cooled engine, and turn indicators from the 450 models.
