BREAKING: THIS Is How The Himalayan 450 Performs Off The Road

Interestingly, the bike’s latest teaser hasn’t come from Royal Enfield…

The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 has been tested extensively on public roads, but only on paved surfaces. However, for the first time ever, it has been spotted off-road. Riding the upcoming adventure bike is CS Santosh, a renowned off-road rider and participant in the Dakar Rally, who was also involved in promoting the Himalayan when it was first launched in India.

As for the bike itself, it has been seen without any camouflage and appears to have a more modern look compared to the current Himalayan, while still maintaining its rugged appearance. Not only does it look ready for off-road adventures, but it also performs like one. Interestingly, the video also shows the bike equipped with an Arrow exhaust. And no, it will not get that as standard. But what Royal Enfield could do is offer it as an optional accessory.

Overall, our excitement for the Himalayan 450 has doubled upon seeing this teaser. The adventure bike is expected to arrive in the next few months with an estimated price of around Rs 2.80 lakh (ex-showroom). And if you think this looks off-road ready, there is also a more hardcore variant in the works. We can’t wait to get our hands on that!
