The new Himalayan comes with a single-cylinder, 452cc, DOHC, liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, 4-valve engine which pumps out 40.02 PS of peak power and 40 Nm of peak torque coupled to a 6-speed gearbox with a slipper assist clutch. Modern features for the motor also include ride-by-wire tech which has enabled Eco & Performance riding modes; and ABS can be switched off from the rear wheel in both of these modes. This fuel-injected motor on the new Himalayan is not only more powerful than the old Himalayan 411, but also lighter even with the new tech. However, in terms of performance, the KTM 390 Adventure still stands tall, thanks to more power and lighter weight. The new Royal Enfield Himalayan rides on a twin-spar steel tubular chassis with the engine as a stressed member. You get a 43mm USD front fork and linkage type rear monoshock which enables 200mm of travel at both ends. The kerb weight of the new Royal Enfield Himalayan is 196 kg, so it is not really a light motorcycle, But it has 17 litres of tank capacity, which would be very useful for touring. Seat height is manually adjustable from 805mm till 845mm, which will be appreciated by owners. At the front you get a 21" front wheel and a 17" rim at the back. Standard kit offers you old school spoked wheels, so punctures will be a problem. However, Royal Enfield will also launch tubeless spoke wheels at a premium price, for your peace of mind. Switchable dual channel ABS is standard, but there's no traction control or cornering ABS.
