I believe he's the lead designer at the brand, not just a concept designer for Himalayan, as the Big Bear Customs introduced.

Every time I look at the Himalayan 450 and compare it to the CFMOTO MT450 I can just SEE myself touring the world on this bike, I can feel the emotions it evokes - as much as the MT450 might be the unicorn adventure bike at the moment, Royal Enfield have a way of getting into your heart and soul that the competitors don't.

A full rally raid bike with bespoke graphics and loud colours and that Arrow brap 🎉 Endless potential ✨

Personally im not a fan of the 3 piece rackless systems. 3 bags to carry plus helmet plus a tank bag in my case. I prefer 1 tail bag, 1 tank bag, lesser luggage to mount/unmount everydqy of a trip. More than enough. Hoping RE releases the tubeless rims soon, so i can purchase a Giant Loop Coyote or 21 Brothers Rogal horseshoe type bags. 1 bag, sits exactly like these rackless systems (down and forward).

These are crazy additions, tempted to buy one adding to my Tiger in the garage. However, same genre discourages me. Surely very tempting. Liking this series from you Abhinav. Easy to recommend Himalayan to some friends

Damn the Arrow exhaust was really a thing of beauty. Sad it perhaps wouldn't make it to the Indian shores.

Hi Abhinav. Any idea when can we expect the tubeless rims in india?

Wonderful video. Will the high windshield be available soon? My dealer innFrance says it's not available

@abhinavbhatt

Don't know about France but here in India it is readily available.

Never seen the bike with the 805 seat fitted ,and what size leg wise dose that fit the bike is quite tall a lot of people are missing out especially. In Asia

Will Tubeless spoke wheels come as an accessory or will it come to a particular variant as standard?

Steve said it will make its way to India.

I have the Himalayan 450, but I find the seat to be a bit uncomfortable. It’s a bit of a ball crushing experience, if you know what I mean. Which seat should I get to fix this problem. The rally seat, the adventure seat, the low seat, or none of these (can’t be fixed).

I have my eyes on those hand guards. Just like the bags will they also be available from September in India? Any timeline for them hand guards?

@abhinavbhatt

Don't know about the timeline but they are robust. I crashed twice in UK with them and slammed hard into a car in India back in February with them. No damage at all.

No. The mounting needs the bobbin that's only on the rally mudguard.

No. It is best for solo rides. And I don't think it is a good seat for long tours. It will test your patience after 5-6 hours for sure.

Himalayan old design is good

Can’t you make the bike a little lower for us shorter riders especially in Asia we have to buy other brands because we can’t reach the ground ,Honda made a lower version of the 300 its the LS model why can’t R E do this food for thought

some great design choices but the slits in the handguards are dumb as F - straight away they open you up to the elements and are also a weak point which could allow sharp material through and into your knuckles/fingers... weird choice and experienced people will choose aftermarket

No word on tubeless spokes for India market? 🥲
