2024 ROYAL ENFIELD 450cc Himalayan TEST

We flew to Sardinia to test ride the new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450cc and got the chance to really push it to the limit on offroad roads including a section from the WRC where we also did some nice jumps. I believe the new Himalayan 450 can be really a great bike to have fun and for people that want to approach offroad at an incredible price where the Quality-Price ratio is really at its best.

I'd rather have a 600lb, $25,000+ bike with 160hp, a 39-inch seat height, and every wizbang techno nanny feature known to man. Nope... got rid of one and waiting for my new Himmy. Spending the extra $18,000 on nice hotel rooms close to off-road places here in the American west.

I currently ride a lightweight 200cc bike called the XPulse in India. It is atrocious on the highways but I ship it close to the Himalayas and in the mountains it's more than enough. Lightweight so in difficult conditions can get out easy. Of course I want a bit more power. Waiting for the Him to come with the tubeless spoke rims and when they're made available will be picking one up which will do almost everything I want. Few friends of mine have big bikes and they always just go on highways cos they ant handle the big bikes on bad roads and the fear of dropping and breaking something and parts costing a ton. The new Him 450, CF Moto 452, upcoming Kove 800 (supposed 190kgs or less kerb weight) are all great options.

Thats a great way to frame it. I'm getting a used low Km T7 this year, doing some off road mods for a couple grand, and will still have less than 10K in the bike. My buddy just paid 32K for his loaded R1300GS. Even if I bought a new base T7 (buy base model T7 and modify is Manuel's recommendation) and added the mods, I would have 20K to spare for training, hotels, fuel, events etc. for several years. I will never drop that kind of money on a bike.

@@augm3nt384 At least in Europe it has to be done by a Certified Royal Enfield Dealer so you dont void the waranty. One Service is around 200-250 Euros in most parts of Europe and some annoying Waitlists in the RIding Season. Not really a problem if you dont ride a lot. If you do the costs rack up quite fast compared to the competition: KTM 390 ADV - 7.5k Honda NX500 - 12k Triumph Scrambler - 16k Simply leaves a bad taste in my mouth if something needs more Service than a KTM. I hope the Service Intervall goes up to 10k as soon as they have enough data on the new engine! Looks like an awesome bike.

I think this is an excellent bike for off road touring. The simplicity and sturdiness would stand up to off road use and the power is sufficient to go anywhere, ref Itchyboots in Nepal. Also, I can not think of a better suited bike for beginning riders. The manageable seat height and power makes it non threatening and the price is unbeatable. This is a bike for thinking riders!

If I ever fix my knees and return to ADV riding, this will be the bike. It’s cheap. And it’s not the end of the world if you crash it. The bonus is that’s it one of the few bikes which are entirely designed from the ground up to do the job. Other bikes will modify an existing chassis, or grab a road engine and tweak it etc.

Good review. I get what You mean about phone screen staying on. But the older version app with the phone in your pocket the screen would cut off and so would the tripper. The new version the screen is locked if you wish. Just need to mount on the handlebar and plug it in. I found at 4000 revs it picks up quite well. On the road it handles excellently. My older 411 could drift out on left handers!

@@Whatreally123the tubeless rim with spokes is harder to certify cause it is patented.

@Whatreally123 2 ай бұрын

@@buzzlightyear1484 nope. Certification has absolutely nothing to do with patents. Patents are only for production so that no other company can produce their patented product. Certification is to check whether the rims can work satisfactorily or not as per that country's regulations. Your confusing the two. And all the big brands are selling their ADVs with similar tubeless rims. So obviously they've got them certified. As I've said in an earlier comment, RE would've been working on developing this bike for at least 3-4 years. Why the tubeless rims weren't certified all this while is the question, if it is a question of certification. I'm sure patent shouldn't be a problem. RE pays the company having the patent and they let RE use their design.

Worst review of Himalayan I’ve seen. “It’s not a full adventure bike”. What a dumb statement is that? Because it isn’t 1L or above? Hundreds of people crossed continents on it’s predecessor probably few time’s more than on those fancy BMW or KTM people buy to go around on European highways. And you try to review adventure bike and in the opening you try to show it as a race bike. That’s the approach which many people is fighting for years now and still wi he such reviewers. Disgusting.
