Royal Enfield has opened up pre-bookings for the Himalayan 450 in the American market. Here’s all about its price, variants & more
Royal Enfield launched the Himalayan 450 in Manali, India, back in November 2023. The Himalayan 450 was a step up for Royal Enfield in terms of technology, design, and finish, it has a few things to be resolved but we’re sure Royal Enfield will fix those bits too. It has been one of the most popular adventure bikes in India, welcomed with good-looking sales figures. After a long time, Royal Enfield launched the Indian adventure bike in the West, meaning the United States of America.
In the US market, the Himalayan 450 is priced higher since the bikes are manufactured here, in India and have to be exported leading to the increase in its price. Following are the prices as per the variants:
|

|

$5,999 (around Rs 5,02,360) |
The Himalayan 450 is the second generation of the Himalayan model in the Royal Enfield line-up. It is the first Royal Enfield bike to get a liquid-cooled engine. It is powered by a 452cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled ‘Sherpa’ engine producing 40PS at 8000rpm and 40Nm at 5500rpm and it is paired with a 6-speed gearbox. The bike gets a massive 17-litre fuel that will let you take the bike to uncharted territories.
The Himalayan 450 is decked up with a plush suspension setup, an inverted front fork and a rear monoshock. It offers a very comfortable upright seating position for all-day riding in the saddle. It is equipped with a modern TFT instrument console with smartphone connectivity via Bluetooth for call/SMS alerts, music control and Google Maps navigation. It has a kerb weight of 196kg. Overall, it is a well-designed bike that you can take to explore the corners of the world without pinching your pocket.
Currently, in India the Himalayan 450 is available in 5 colour options: Kaza Brown is priced at Rs 2,85,000, the Slate Himalayan Salt and Slate Poppy Blue sells for Rs 2,89,000, while the Kamet White costs Rs 2,93,000 and the Hanle Black is priced at Rs 2,98,000 (all prices ex-showroom).
Royal Enfield has opened the pre-booking window for the Himalayan 450 on the USA website, while no accessories have been listed on the website yet. The US-spec Himalayan 450 might get the tubeless spoked wheels as an optional accessory, it is not yet certified in India hence we don’t have the option to buy it here.
