The Royal Enfield Himalayan 2023 is now available for pre-order at an affordable rate.
At the Motoverse festival in Goa, Royal Enfield unveiled the all-new Himalayan adventure motorcycle. The starting price is Rs 2.69 lakh (ex-showroom). The new Himalayan is available in three sizes: Base, Pass, and Summit.
The 2023 Royal Enfield Himalayan is powered by a brand new 451cc liquid-cooled engine (RE’s first), dubbed Sherpa 450. This engine generates 40.02bhp and 40Nm of torque at 8,000rpm and 5,500 rpm, respectively. This engine is connected to a 6-speed manual transmission with a slip-and-assist clutch. The engine is canted forward, and the airbox sits over it, making the whole thing more compact than in the previous Himalayan.
The engine serves as a stressed part of the motorcycle’s all-new twin-spar frame. This is supported by an open-cartridge USD fork up front and a Showa preload adjustable monoshock. Both the front and rear suspensions have 200mm of suspension travel and 230mm of ground clearance. The 2023 Royal Enfield Himalayan has 21-inch wire-spoke front and 17-inch rear wheels wrapped in hefty off-road rubber. The braking system is by ByBre and features a single 320mm disc up front and a 270mm disc at the rear, as well as dual-channel ABS.
Royal Enfield has an adjustable basic seat with a height range of 825mm-845mm, as well as an alternative lower seat with a height range of 805mm-825mm. The Himalayan has an all-metal tank that holds 17 litres of petrol. With the tank full, the motorcycle weighs 198kg.
