Air filter position is kept higher than normal level to make the waist of the bike narrower and also to improve sound quality, and thus, the rider gets to hear the intake sound. As per the RE engine and design engineers in the launch events. Has nothing to do with water wading capacity.

No. 1. "Water Wading Capacity" also considered while deciding Air Filter position. Look at older 411, the position is placed in a position that mud or water directly as well as indirectly thrown/sprinkled on the filter (one of the major issues). Please keep that in mind. 2. Another aspect is that, Air Filter divides fuel to both sides which lowers that tank position resulting in the best weight balance.

@PratikThisSide Point number 2 makes sense. Well, I'm not an expert. I just wrote what the RE engineers said during the launch events. They specifically told about the sound quality and the reduction in the waist of the bike. Which made sense to me. No ones gonna ride that deep into the water.

Hi bhai! I've been watching all your videos and shorts on this channel for the Himalayan 450 and they've all been very informative! Wanted your opinion on one issue, I have booked both the Himalayan and the x440 and was wondering which one should I go for? I like both bikes for their own positives but I'm unable to pick one even after getting test rides. My primary use case is city commutes on weekdays and weekend rides with friends. I've already had some bad experience with the Hero/Harley customer service and further given the recency of their tie-up I am a little skeptical about getting the x440.

If your ride is going to be 90% City and 10% Highway/ Long rides then go for X440. Cities will have more service arenas where as Himalayan is serviceable almost in every location considering RE Svc stations

Good information! How did you learn all this technical knowledge anyway?

I'm planning to buy a new bike in 400 cc segment. My bike usage will be like daily commute to Office in Chennai city around 30 kms and occassional long drive. My final choices are RE Himalayan 450, Harley Davidson X440, Triumph Scrambler 400x. Which one suits better for me? Any suggestion pls?

@nitishneo2

Low end is similar on both however scrambler wins when it comes to weight. For long rides I would give the upper hand to Himalayan easily and the build of Himalayan feels better. Harley is purely for city usage is what I feel. Not for long rides as the engine gets stressed at higher speeds.

Enakum indha doubt irunchu.. everyone told me to go with scrambler 400x .. But for me I personally love Himalayan. So I did a test ride.. the front end is so heavy.. pushing and pulling forward and rear is difficult especially when u r off the bike.. bike la ukandha we can manage.. and also for my height the footpegs were touching my tibia.. So do a test ride..

@@ramchandarumasankar5560 almost same feeling bro. I personally like himalayan especially impressed with it massive look. Had a short test ride in himalayan and not much satisfied after that bcoz of lack in low end torque and seems like engine is bad (vibration, noise, etc.) below 3500rpm. Definitely RE has to fine tune its engine to handle low rpm.
